Judo Career
Before competing in MMA, Yoon was a well-known judoka with over 50 international judo competitions under his belt and had a winning streak of 47 straight victories without conceding a single koka, with notable wins over World champions and Olympic gold-medalists such as Makoto Takimoto, Mark Huizinga, Jeon Ki-Young and Toshihiko Koga. Despite his impressive résumé, Yoon never competed in the Olympics; hence he was given a nickname Judo King Without a Crown (비운의 유도왕/非運의柔道王).
