As lame as that was Koscheck kinda had it coming for what he did in the first round, both fighters are scum and should be cut i've seen better acting in soccer, even porn
GSP vs Koscheck has 5 rounds of spooning written all over it, i'll gladly miss that one

That is one of the issues with MMA, Koscheck had no interest in fighting last night, he was more interested in laying on top of Daley. I like the ground part of the fight, when the fighter is actually trying to do some damage or trying for a submission, Koscheck really didnt seem to have much interest in either.

Thats the thoughts right now, but come the time they fight, we would have already seen TUF with them as coaches. Koscheck will run his mouth nonstop and the hype will be pretty huge. The cocky POS Koscheck, vs. the professional GSP. That will get viewers to tune in hoping that GSP crushes Koscheck, and then they will dry hump in the middle of the ring together for 5 rounds and everyone will be gripping how boring it was....but in truth, you can see it coming from a mile away.

it would be in koschecks interest to stand up just because GSP is alot bigger than him. koschecks strength may be on the ground but GSP is just too good at neutralizing even the best take down artists. his best bet is to catch GSP with a shot and get lucky.

Except when you are a wrestler the caliber of GSP. The first time these guys fought, GSP was able to take Kos down and keep him down the majority of that fight. GSP spent about 2+ rounds in Kos' full guard or half-guard after early takedowns in each of the first 2 rounds.
GSP really has no reason to stand and trade with someone like Koscheck and let him catch a Serra-esque punch. GSP has proven time and time again that no matter the pedigree of anyone in the 170lbs class, he is BY FAR the best wrestler in the division. Not only that, but with Kos being no threat at submission on the mat, GSP really has no reason to stand up with Kos.
The only way Kos even has a prayer is if he wings another Hendo-Haymaker and it catches GSP. Save for that, GSP rolls - again.
BTW, it's almost comical at this point how eerily similar Kos and Dan Henderson are. Huge guys at each of their divisions, incredible wrestling backgrounds, and their standup consists of putting their right hand back then winging it with every single ounce of strength they have.

As he should have.
What Daley did was just absolutely moronic and can't be tolerated no matter how stupid Josh was acting in the fight with that flop.
Now if I were Dana I also, after seeing Josh pull that acting job, wouldn't let Josh have the GSP fight or be a coach on TUF. How is that guy going to get anyone to listen to him after he's shown what kind of character he has?
That was pathetic.

It does but it's also a situation where he really had no choice. Strikeforce recently had a big brawl, of some sort, after their main event and White made a lot of statements about it, and bashed them, so he really had no choice here anyway. Even if he didn't want to cut the guy he'd have had to after the way he blasted Strikeforce.
It was the right call regardless.

Actually this one has the chance to be similar to the fight with Serra cause Josh will spend the entire time during TUF getting under GSP's skin and being his regularly ******* self. I could see him really making GSP angry and thus getting more of a beating because of it.
That's not to say that he just beat Serra to death, or anything, but he landed a lot of great struff cause of how much he was angry with the guy for embarressing him before.

Oh and Rua wiped away any doubts about him, including the ones I had, since coming over from PRIDE. The guy has now shown in 3 straight fights what he's capable of when he's healthy and he's a very dangerous fighter.
This could set up a potential Shogun vs. Rampage rematch (they fought in PRIDE) if Rampage can defeat Evans (Which I think he will). I'm sure Rampage would love a shot to not only get the belt back but to do so while beating a guy who previously has beaten him.

I'm with you. I'm a big fan of Rampage. And in this next fight it's even easier because not only am I a fan of Rampage but I can't stand Evans.
He's a great fighter though. Just can't stand him.
