i like the flames surrounding kos… he is a huge flamer (yes petty and terrible joke.. but hey i hate kos)
gsp is going to kill kos if you watch his fight with sanchez you’ll see that his head is straight up and down with his chin exposed the entire time… nighty night kos
Oh wow, such big words from such a little man. Kos better bring a sleeping bag and a Pillow after he gets KTFO by GSP. Kos is gonna get to over aggressive in this fight and get caught. George’s is gonna agrivate him during the first round. And this is hows its gonna go down, Kos is gonna try and come in for a take down and GSP is gonna catch him with a spinning kick to the head and drop him like the pos that he is…. dont forget your pacifier Kos !!!!
so many Kos haters…I love GSP and i think he’s gonna win this one but not by KO, it will go all the way for a decision and it will be a close one. Kos is just too strong of a wrestler and his stand up has improved a great deal. GSP will fight a very defensive fight cuz of being KO’ed by Serra, so we won’t see the aggressive GSP that KTFO of Hughes…to bad but he’ll still get the decision
Kos may be right though, GSP doesn’t have ‘blond curls’ either and I think that could be the deciding factor here. I think the intimidation of facing an opponent with a bleached she-fro should not be overlooked one bit. Kos is truly an imposing figure.
Kos will get his ass whooped. He barely beat Sanchez, if you want to even call that a win. If GSP puts it on Kos like he did to Hughes, then Kos doesnt have a chance. Personaly, I think Serra just got lucky and GSP just had a bad day. Bottom line, that cocky prick Kos(awesome nickname by the way) is going down.

Do you not recall him beating Sanchez, who beat Karo Parisyan, Nick Diaz, Kenny Florian, and Joe Riggs. They must not have an impressive enough resume for you. True Kos hasn’t fought the quantity of good fighters that GSP has, but I wouldn’t say that he hasn’t met the quality of fighters that he has, and I’d say that Sanchez has earned the right to be called quality. good thing it’s one fight at a time. might I add that Karo beat Serra who knocked out GSP. With GSP coming off a TKO loss, I’m taking Koscheck in the upset, just throwing that out there, think about it if you want.

I agree. I hope St pierre hitse him square in the gut wit a spinning back kick n finish him wit a flying knee a la david “the crow” louasso. But seriouslly even if GSP doesnt finish him, he will definetly come out wit a humbling, and dominating 3 round beatdown.
Steveland, u make a great point.. kos needs to keep his chin tucked…or he will get clipped… Im predicting a dominating 3 rd unanimous decision by GSP

Yeah it doesnt work like that dummy, otherwise Gonzaga would be number 2 in the world….I guess your not too educated, but just cause someone beats someone, doesnt mean they can beat anyone the other guy fought. Nice try sweetheart, GSP will run through KOS….expect it.
ok, understanably MMAth doesn’t work a lot of the time, but seriously why all the kos hate? i think kos’ standup is good enough to exchange and dance around before the takedown. i think kos has more of a chance than a lot of you think. mind you matt hughes got destroyed when he didn’t go full hearted for the take down, and if kos does, i think he’ll win.
i think the odds favor GSP a little more than they should.
[quote comment=”114654″]kos needs to get knocked out again[/quote]
When did Kos get knocked out before?
Koshcheck’s being an a$$ (intentional dollar signs). He’s the future Tito Ortiz everyone will love to hate. Remember Tito and Rashad’s fight eclipsing the two title fights in fan interest? As long as Koshcheck wins more than he loses he’s going to be quite a revenue producer. He might never get an actual title shot but he’ll bring in the fans who want to see him get pummeled.

Just because Kos beat Sanchez, dosen’t mean he automatically holds wins over Karo, Diaz, Florian and Riggs. You assume he just transfers his whole resume to his own just because he beat Sanchez..
Kos got knocked out by that knee…don’t remember the dudes name though…
As far as saying “GSP has no heart or a good chin”??????? WTF is he talking about. If he’s making this conclusion based on the Matt Serra fight, he should watch it again. The punch that rocked him hit him behind the ear. That has nothing to do with a good “chin”. I realize the “button” in on the chin, but it was the punch behind the ear that rocked him.
No hear??? Hhaahahhaaha….what a doosch….I can’t stand this guy. BJ Penn beat the shit out of GSP in the first round of their fight. Georges, re-grouped, changed his game plan and won the second and thrid round. That’s heart buddy…..
I don’t understand this Koscheck….the guy doesn’t seem too
inteligent. Watch this vid that was posted only a year ago, and listen to the way KOS is talking about GSP. Now he’s saying all this bs.

Sanchez was half-dead from staff infection and almost had to retire leading up to the bout because they thought he had Hep C. So yeah, that is good that Koscheck got away with one in that fight, because when he gets in there and GSP sprawls out of his takedowns, spin kicks him in the jaw, and mauls him against the fence until he pisses in his jock he will realize how lucky he had been so far. GSP will murder this putz and he will have the title again very soon
Koscheck was a D1 4 time all American wrestler, and a National Champion in College. This isn’t some fluke chump fighter, GSP better be ready for the takedown. Also, Koscheck wasn’t knocked out by a knee, he was submitted via rear naked choke to drew fickett, I believe you’re thinking of Matt Hughes when he shot in on Jose Landi-Jons and took a knee to the head.
You’re right…he took a kneee, then got choked out…my bad. I respect his Wrestling resume, but GSP is a VERY good wrestler as well. He doesn’t that the credential, because he was training MMA while KOS was in college doing wrestling.
I’m so glad Kos said what he said now GSP will look to make an example of him, Kos may just die in the octagon on 25th.
RYAN - what is your point
“Do you not recall him beating Sanchez, who beat Karo Parisyan…”.
First he beat Sanchez but it was by decision based on a match where he inflicted little to no damage. That proves nothing. You can’t give him props because of the people Sanchez has beaten and he happened to beat Sanchez.
It’s not as if he caught Sanchez, he fought better than Sanchez. He beat him in a striking match, which is not his strong point, he’s clearly the better wrestler so if they would have tied up, he would have benefited from that. You’re correct, I admit I was in the wrong in stating that since he beat Sanchez, in turn he beat everyone Sanchez has fought. With the exception of a few people on here, nobody is giving Koscheck a chance in this fight. I’m sure it would have sounded similar if this was a post before the GSP Serra fight, after Serra said he was going to shock the world. Look what happened there, people here act as if Koscheck doesn’t stand a chance, when in fact he is a better fighter than Serra.

If you want to make up excuses, GSP beat Matt Hughes after kicking him in the groin twice.
wouldn’t Serra be the now of the WW division since he just beat GSP for the belt, GSP could be the future I guess. GSP is a great fighter, I just think Koscheck is more than a worthy opponent, and everyone here is sleeping on him.
I agree that koshceck has a better chance than serra I still think serra only had a 10% chance and it was a lucky hit to the back of the head that won that fight, it happens. I give koscheck a 25% chance of winning this one, georges is so freaking strong, very close to as good a wrestler as koscheck, better at submissions and is a better striker. If koscheck is a 10 as a wrestler I give st.pierre a 9.5 and with georges being strong as hell, koscheck will have a hard time taking him down. I predict a second round tko win for gsp with gsp shocking a lot of people with his ability to stuff koschecks take down attempts . Koscheck will try to stand with gsp and get overwelmed and go for take down after take down and get denied. He’s going to get careless in his desperation and make a mistake and get tko’ed. Gsp is going to fight like he’s never fought before and impress anyone watching the fight.
Kos is just trying to give people a reason to want to watch him fight, since he has the personality of a dead horse and the character of a swine, and the entertainment value of Barney and Friends in a foreign language.
Koscheck has beaten no one but a listless Sanchez. He’s never been in there with a fighter of GSP’s ability, while GSP has fought Karo, Hughes (twice), Penn, and Sherk. Koscheck has that outside chance that almost every fighter has, but otherwise, he’ll probably get dominated.
[quote comment=”114698″]gsp is good but kos is the future of the welterweight division[/quote]
KOS is right in this Vid “GSP is #1 or #2 in THE WORLD” and he was right in saying it is going to be a true test for him.I am willing to bet that HUGHES is KOS’s IDOL and he will get schooled like Hughes. http://youtube.com/watch?v=PvgLNQ3mlWk
KOS, Hughes will welcome you into his prayer group and church. Hughes will also pray with you and for you…….It did not work for him against GSP.
He’s been in there with Sanchez, like you said, because he hasn’t had the opportunity to fight as many people as GSP doesn’t mean he’s not as good. It’s not as if he’s been losing, so he hasn’t worked his way up to the big fights like GSP, He just hasn’t been fighting as long, GSP has 2 more years. Hughes beat GSP once, People must have forgotten that, they are 1 and 1 against each other.

Hahaha. Getting grazed in the junk slightly is a whole different story than staff infection buddy. And Hughes also played up the groin kick because he was genuinely confused and did not know how to contend with GSP. He was baffled and overmatched for the whole fight. Hughes took only a few seconds to recover, which likely tells you he was not that hurt, after which he fought the rest of the round before eating a superman punch and the following combo that would have ended him if not for the bell. Then he had the break and another few minutes for his balls to recover before St. Pierre soundly crushed him. Not even close to comparable.
It’s not an excuse about why Sanchez lost, personally I hate Sanchez nearly as much as I hate Koscheck. But fighting a guy and half-speed who is very ill and doesn’t even look like the same fighter means that you still win the fight, but you shouldn’t go around gloating and thinking you have had some monumental victory. In that state Koscheck should have shitkicked Diego. Instead he chose to suck and hang around for fifteen minutes and take the decision.
It’s still a win, but not any yardstick for how he will perform against GSP. A healthy Sanchez isn’t even in the same realm as GSP. Had Koscheck beat him down I would give him some props, but with the shitty performance he put on to decision Sanchez, he gets no respect and likely gets to die on August 25th. Partially due to his own arrogance and stupidity.
[quote comment=”114769″]GSP is younger, but has been fighting since 2002, Kos started in 2004, he is still growing, giving him a lot more potential than previously shown.[/quote]
So you’re saying less experience means more potential? By that reasoning, I have loads of potential since I have no professional experience! lol
Not a smart move by Kos at all. GSP is at his worst when he is fighting someone he likes and respects, ala his losses to Hughes and Serra. When GSP is pissed off, ala Hughes part 2, watch out.
So Jo, what are you trying to say, if you are an MMA fighter you can’t believe in God?
I can’t believe all the Kos haters out there. Man, Kos is the man. No one else has a black belt in the lost art of Blanketing. Kos has perfected the ways of the blanket and you can see it spreading to other fighters like Sherk. When that body blanket comes at ya, what you goin to do? You guys are just jealous of the awesome blanket power of Kos. There is nothing more exciting than watching the a win by blanket. NO WAIT, whats even more better is watching Kos’s head blow up like a balloon, now thats AWESOME!
Serra wrecked GSP during their fight, you would probably say that GSP had a bad fight and got caught. Since GSP is the greatest fighter in the world, anyone that he beats, is always because he is awesome. Hughes was kicked in the nuts twice, you can’t say that didn’t take anything away from him, he’s never one to complain, even after trigg kneed him in the groin, and mario didn’t stop the fight, he didn’t say anything about it. Hughes had a bad strategy against GSP last time, I’ll give you that, he should have taken him down, and not tried to exchange with him, Hughes has a better ground game than GSP. I’m sure they’ll fight again, so we’ll see how that goes. As far as the potential goes, I said more potential than previously shown, not more potential than GSP. He has more room to improve. The more you practice at something, the more proficient you get, at a certain point you will plateau, I’m saying Koscheck will and has improved his game since previous fights. If we fought each other, ending in a draw, and I had been fighting for 10 years, but this was your first fight, chances are, if you got more time to practice, you’ll come out on top in the next meeting.

So what if Karo beat Sera , GSP beat Karo.
This is a genuine example of why people dilike Kos for all the Fans that like him and ask why does evryone hate Kos. Maybe if GSP was an a$$hole this remark would be less irritating. But GSP is one of the nicest guys in the UFC. I understand they like to sh1talk before fights cuz it hypes it. It makes most people overlook Koschecks abilities cuz they just want to see him get crushed. I dont see how hughes gets brought into this clusterf*ck. you cant compare one of the greatest champions the UFC has had to date to Kos.

Hughes already said the low blows effected his thigh more than his groin.
Its a good matchup there both real athletes. GSP has a better skill set than KOS. Is it possible for KOS to win yeah but its more likely that GSP will either KO kos or get the decision. Kos has potential but i still dont rate him top 5. If he beats GSP i’ll move him up to maybe 4th or 5th. His win over diego im gonna basically ignore unless he soundly beats him in a rematch because i like diego im ignorant and i dont like seeing the fighters i like lose.

I understand exactly what you are saying, but you obviously don’t, or you would realize this is the reason GSP beat Hughes the 2nd time (Matt had plateaued, GSP got alot better), not because of a kick in the leg (and a little toe tickle on the berries).It’s not that Matt decided not to take GSP down, GSP made that decision for him.
Kos needs to get rid of the lame ass fro hairdo…GSP is a machine…he just got lackadaisical w/ Serra…GSP has beaten the absolute best….I doubt KOS is as good of a wrestler, despite any college accalades, as Matt Hughes is….the KOS/Sanchez fight was a joke and Diego was in a shell….if both are at their bests….there is NO debate GSP slaughters KOS by TKO stoppage.

I can remember a guy by the name of Nate Quarry who said Rich Franklin had a weak chin and we all know what happened there.
Can Kos fight? Yeah, he’s better than the majority of bloggers here think, but he’s in for a painful night if he underestimates GSP. Kos has great wrestling. Everybody knows that. But, his striking is not at GSP’s level and if he’s put on his back, I’m not 100% sure about his skills from the bottom.
Matt Serra hits very hard. Ask Karo who almost went out quicker than GSP. So, I don’t think GSP has a weak chin, I think he just didn’t believe Serra could hit that hard. Kos on the other hand, does not hit as hard a Serra.
GSP is coming off of the most devestating loss of his career. Losing the title to one of the biggest if not the biggest, underdogs in the history of the sport. he is going to look to make a statement to get his name, and his title rematch back on track. That is the only chance Kos has to win. Hoping GSP is so anxious to prove himself again that he rushes and makes a mistake.
We all know anything can happen in the octagon, so I’m looking at this fight as possible fight of the night. I think Kos is going to fare better than most of the comments here think, but when it’s over I believe St. Pierre’s hand will be raised.
Kos has balls, who has he fought, that actually means anything to MMA for the most part. GSP has fought the who’s who of the game and has won. GSP beating MAtt Hughes, BJ Penn, Karo, and Trigg should say it all. On top of the way GSP won those matches they were all clear cut wins subs and TKO’s. The 2 biggest names Kos has fought Drew Fickett submitted him for a lose and Diego he won but as unanimous as it was it was nowhere near a GSP win. He did not let it all out, the way GSP does. You can not fight the big names and win with out letting it all out, and that is what makes GSP a champ and KOS a flaming homotestical.

What is that supposed to mean GSP is only 26, Koscheck is 29 or 30. GSP is the future, he has the experience and has beaten the names. GSP will be carrying the torch in to the future.
GSP will know him out. KOS got lucky against Diego in a really non action bout. That bout deserved a rematch. Diego deserves a title match more the KOS. GSP has been the champion and will return the champion just as Matt has stated.
You guys fail to realize that this fight will be nothing more then a Traditional Karate point match. Its going to be Danielson VS cobrakai all over again.They are both going to stand there most of the time but GSP will kick him 3 or 4 times per round and win.Snoozer at best.Oh and maybe GSP will stuff a few of KOS’s thalf hearted takedown attempts…..
Gord, I was stating that Kos has fought quality fighters before, I know GSP has beaten Karo Perisyan, and Matt Hughes didn’t even try to take GSP down until he was hurt, even then it was a half assed attempt, if Hughes’s gameplan was to take GSP down early, it would have happened. The Monkey, GSP won the fight against BJ Penn by decision, sorry if that ruins your explanation, Hughes beat Penn By TKO.

In that case Im gonna stop watching MMA and start watching golf and cricket,it will be more entertaining.
Is that what you want to see,people like Kos grind out a boring desicion,he dosnt care about the fans or the entertainment value aslong as he has a win under his belt.I hope GSP smashes Koshchecks stupid head in.
GSP has a weak chin and no heart lol. This is so funny. GSP has so much to lose if he loses this fight. He is probably taking this fight with the most intensity he has ever had! GAP can not lose..he can but he wants that title back! This is going to be a one sided fight. Yes Josh can throw a punch but GSP would pick him apart technically! Josh has the best wrestling but GSP is no slouch…GSP will not be controlled by Josh. I wouldnt be surpised if GSP stuffs all of his takedown attemps. I wouldnt be surprised to see GSP go for the takedown and GNP him and then RNC. This is my prediction im saying it now. RNC for GSP Win. Josh will give his hack when he is getting pummled by elbows to the face, and GSP will sink in the choke regaining respect that is well deserved that was lost by the serra fight. People will consider GSP the man again when he sends Josh into early retirement. lol. I cant wait for GSP title fight!! WAR GSP!!!
The chin thing is absolutely retarded. I’m pretty sure BJ tested his chin several times in their fight. The only punch that rocked Georges was Serra’s punch that actually wasn’t even close to his “chin”. That punch hit him behind the ear where their is a vane that effects your equilibrium. If anyone is hit in this spot, you’re balance is completly messed up. Georges got right back and didn’t have a scratch on him….weak chin….hahahah….no heart?? hahahahh….god I can’t stand this guy….I’ve never wanted GSP to beat a guy as bad as I wan’t him to destroy KOS>…

..I do think that loss against Serra will play into the psyche of GSP..this should be a War..(F’ a deision)..I hope these two lay it on the line and not have it be judged.

I love how people “dont have a chin” whenever they get knocked out or tko’d. I hope GSP kicks kos in the face.
KOS is going to get knocked out or he will tap but he does have a punchers chance just like anyone else would.
Good Night KOS!
i like the flames surrounding kos… he is a huge flamer (yes petty and terrible joke.. but hey i hate kos)
gsp is going to kill kos if you watch his fight with sanchez you’ll see that his head is straight up and down with his chin exposed the entire time… nighty night kos
kos needs to get knocked out again
I hope that gsp breaks kos face and then he will have the weak chin.
Haha thats cute, KO’s has no idea whats coming. No heart? He hasnt fought nearly the competition that GSP has, hes in for a bad night.
Oh wow, such big words from such a little man. Kos better bring a sleeping bag and a Pillow after he gets KTFO by GSP. Kos is gonna get to over aggressive in this fight and get caught. George’s is gonna agrivate him during the first round. And this is hows its gonna go down, Kos is gonna try and come in for a take down and GSP is gonna catch him with a spinning kick to the head and drop him like the pos that he is…. dont forget your pacifier Kos !!!!
so many Kos haters…I love GSP and i think he’s gonna win this one but not by KO, it will go all the way for a decision and it will be a close one. Kos is just too strong of a wrestler and his stand up has improved a great deal. GSP will fight a very defensive fight cuz of being KO’ed by Serra, so we won’t see the aggressive GSP that KTFO of Hughes…to bad but he’ll still get the decision
Koscheck is going to need a lot more than that to beat Pierre.
Kos may be right though, GSP doesn’t have ‘blond curls’ either and I think that could be the deciding factor here. I think the intimidation of facing an opponent with a bleached she-fro should not be overlooked one bit. Kos is truly an imposing figure.
Ok Josh Mr Known KO Power Koscheck. GSP showed a lot of heart when he fought BJ Penn, Koscheck needs to stfu and go away.
I want to see GSP mince Koshcheck through the fence,I hate him and his family.
Kos will get his ass whooped. He barely beat Sanchez, if you want to even call that a win. If GSP puts it on Kos like he did to Hughes, then Kos doesnt have a chance. Personaly, I think Serra just got lucky and GSP just had a bad day. Bottom line, that cocky prick Kos(awesome nickname by the way) is going down.

Do you not recall him beating Sanchez, who beat Karo Parisyan, Nick Diaz, Kenny Florian, and Joe Riggs. They must not have an impressive enough resume for you. True Kos hasn’t fought the quantity of good fighters that GSP has, but I wouldn’t say that he hasn’t met the quality of fighters that he has, and I’d say that Sanchez has earned the right to be called quality. good thing it’s one fight at a time. might I add that Karo beat Serra who knocked out GSP. With GSP coming off a TKO loss, I’m taking Koscheck in the upset, just throwing that out there, think about it if you want.

I agree. I hope St pierre hitse him square in the gut wit a spinning back kick n finish him wit a flying knee a la david “the crow” louasso. But seriouslly even if GSP doesnt finish him, he will definetly come out wit a humbling, and dominating 3 round beatdown.
Steveland, u make a great point.. kos needs to keep his chin tucked…or he will get clipped… Im predicting a dominating 3 rd unanimous decision by GSP
left high kick sonn
I think kos wins by (t)ko in the first, i dont care for Kos but i see him winning!
The last thing in the world I wanna be is the next guy ti face GSP.

Yeah it doesnt work like that dummy, otherwise Gonzaga would be number 2 in the world….I guess your not too educated, but just cause someone beats someone, doesnt mean they can beat anyone the other guy fought. Nice try sweetheart, GSP will run through KOS….expect it.
ok, understanably MMAth doesn’t work a lot of the time, but seriously why all the kos hate? i think kos’ standup is good enough to exchange and dance around before the takedown. i think kos has more of a chance than a lot of you think. mind you matt hughes got destroyed when he didn’t go full hearted for the take down, and if kos does, i think he’ll win.
i think the odds favor GSP a little more than they should.
[quote comment=”114654″]kos needs to get knocked out again[/quote]
When did Kos get knocked out before?
Koshcheck’s being an a$$ (intentional dollar signs). He’s the future Tito Ortiz everyone will love to hate. Remember Tito and Rashad’s fight eclipsing the two title fights in fan interest? As long as Koshcheck wins more than he loses he’s going to be quite a revenue producer. He might never get an actual title shot but he’ll bring in the fans who want to see him get pummeled.

Just because Kos beat Sanchez, dosen’t mean he automatically holds wins over Karo, Diaz, Florian and Riggs. You assume he just transfers his whole resume to his own just because he beat Sanchez..
Kos got knocked out by that knee…don’t remember the dudes name though…
As far as saying “GSP has no heart or a good chin”??????? WTF is he talking about. If he’s making this conclusion based on the Matt Serra fight, he should watch it again. The punch that rocked him hit him behind the ear. That has nothing to do with a good “chin”. I realize the “button” in on the chin, but it was the punch behind the ear that rocked him.
No hear??? Hhaahahhaaha….what a doosch….I can’t stand this guy. BJ Penn beat the shit out of GSP in the first round of their fight. Georges, re-grouped, changed his game plan and won the second and thrid round. That’s heart buddy…..
I don’t understand this Koscheck….the guy doesn’t seem too

Sanchez was half-dead from staff infection and almost had to retire leading up to the bout because they thought he had Hep C. So yeah, that is good that Koscheck got away with one in that fight, because when he gets in there and GSP sprawls out of his takedowns, spin kicks him in the jaw, and mauls him against the fence until he pisses in his jock he will realize how lucky he had been so far. GSP will murder this putz and he will have the title again very soon
Koscheck was a D1 4 time all American wrestler, and a National Champion in College. This isn’t some fluke chump fighter, GSP better be ready for the takedown. Also, Koscheck wasn’t knocked out by a knee, he was submitted via rear naked choke to drew fickett, I believe you’re thinking of Matt Hughes when he shot in on Jose Landi-Jons and took a knee to the head.
You’re right…he took a kneee, then got choked out…my bad. I respect his Wrestling resume, but GSP is a VERY good wrestler as well. He doesn’t that the credential, because he was training MMA while KOS was in college doing wrestling.
I’m so glad Kos said what he said now GSP will look to make an example of him, Kos may just die in the octagon on 25th.
RYAN - what is your point
“Do you not recall him beating Sanchez, who beat Karo Parisyan…”.
First he beat Sanchez but it was by decision based on a match where he inflicted little to no damage. That proves nothing. You can’t give him props because of the people Sanchez has beaten and he happened to beat Sanchez.
It’s not as if he caught Sanchez, he fought better than Sanchez. He beat him in a striking match, which is not his strong point, he’s clearly the better wrestler so if they would have tied up, he would have benefited from that. You’re correct, I admit I was in the wrong in stating that since he beat Sanchez, in turn he beat everyone Sanchez has fought. With the exception of a few people on here, nobody is giving Koscheck a chance in this fight. I’m sure it would have sounded similar if this was a post before the GSP Serra fight, after Serra said he was going to shock the world. Look what happened there, people here act as if Koscheck doesn’t stand a chance, when in fact he is a better fighter than Serra.

[quote comment=”114698″]gsp is good but kos is the future of the welterweight division[/quote]
Yeah, Kos will dominate WEC’s WW division.
wouldn’t Serra be the now of the WW division since he just beat GSP for the belt, GSP could be the future I guess. GSP is a great fighter, I just think Koscheck is more than a worthy opponent, and everyone here is sleeping on him.
GSP is younger, but has been fighting since 2002, Kos started in 2004, he is still growing, giving him a lot more potential than previously shown.
I agree that koshceck has a better chance than serra I still think serra only had a 10% chance and it was a lucky hit to the back of the head that won that fight, it happens. I give koscheck a 25% chance of winning this one, georges is so freaking strong, very close to as good a wrestler as koscheck, better at submissions and is a better striker. If koscheck is a 10 as a wrestler I give st.pierre a 9.5 and with georges being strong as hell, koscheck will have a hard time taking him down. I predict a second round tko win for gsp with gsp shocking a lot of people with his ability to stuff koschecks take down attempts . Koscheck will try to stand with gsp and get overwelmed and go for take down after take down and get denied. He’s going to get careless in his desperation and make a mistake and get tko’ed. Gsp is going to fight like he’s never fought before and impress anyone watching the fight.
Kos is just trying to give people a reason to want to watch him fight, since he has the personality of a dead horse and the character of a swine, and the entertainment value of Barney and Friends in a foreign language.
Koscheck by blanket/unanimous decision. Too many posts to read, am I the first?
Koscheck has beaten no one but a listless Sanchez. He’s never been in there with a fighter of GSP’s ability, while GSP has fought Karo, Hughes (twice), Penn, and Sherk. Koscheck has that outside chance that almost every fighter has, but otherwise, he’ll probably get dominated.
[quote comment=”114698″]gsp is good but kos is the future of the welterweight division[/quote]
KOS is right in this Vid “GSP is #1 or #2 in THE WORLD” and he was right in saying it is going to be a true test for him.I am willing to bet that HUGHES is KOS’s IDOL and he will get schooled like Hughes.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=PvgLNQ3mlWk
KOS, Hughes will welcome you into his prayer group and church. Hughes will also pray with you and for you…….It did not work for him against GSP.
(Sorry I just went to http://www.matt-hughes.com/blog.html
I just find it kinda odd how he mixes religion into MMA) I am sure that could be a topic on it’s own.
He’s been in there with Sanchez, like you said, because he hasn’t had the opportunity to fight as many people as GSP doesn’t mean he’s not as good. It’s not as if he’s been losing, so he hasn’t worked his way up to the big fights like GSP, He just hasn’t been fighting as long, GSP has 2 more years. Hughes beat GSP once, People must have forgotten that, they are 1 and 1 against each other.

Hahaha. Getting grazed in the junk slightly is a whole different story than staff infection buddy. And Hughes also played up the groin kick because he was genuinely confused and did not know how to contend with GSP. He was baffled and overmatched for the whole fight. Hughes took only a few seconds to recover, which likely tells you he was not that hurt, after which he fought the rest of the round before eating a superman punch and the following combo that would have ended him if not for the bell. Then he had the break and another few minutes for his balls to recover before St. Pierre soundly crushed him. Not even close to comparable.
It’s not an excuse about why Sanchez lost, personally I hate Sanchez nearly as much as I hate Koscheck. But fighting a guy and half-speed who is very ill and doesn’t even look like the same fighter means that you still win the fight, but you shouldn’t go around gloating and thinking you have had some monumental victory. In that state Koscheck should have shitkicked Diego. Instead he chose to suck and hang around for fifteen minutes and take the decision.
It’s still a win, but not any yardstick for how he will perform against GSP. A healthy Sanchez isn’t even in the same realm as GSP. Had Koscheck beat him down I would give him some props, but with the shitty performance he put on to decision Sanchez, he gets no respect and likely gets to die on August 25th. Partially due to his own arrogance and stupidity.

So you’re saying less experience means more potential? By that reasoning, I have loads of potential since I have no professional experience! lol
Not a smart move by Kos at all. GSP is at his worst when he is fighting someone he likes and respects, ala his losses to Hughes and Serra. When GSP is pissed off, ala Hughes part 2, watch out.
So Jo, what are you trying to say, if you are an MMA fighter you can’t believe in God?
I can’t believe all the Kos haters out there. Man, Kos is the man. No one else has a black belt in the lost art of Blanketing. Kos has perfected the ways of the blanket and you can see it spreading to other fighters like Sherk. When that body blanket comes at ya, what you goin to do? You guys are just jealous of the awesome blanket power of Kos. There is nothing more exciting than watching the a win by blanket. NO WAIT, whats even more better is watching Kos’s head blow up like a balloon, now thats AWESOME!
Poor Koscheck! The guy is afraid!
And he should be…
Serra wrecked GSP during their fight, you would probably say that GSP had a bad fight and got caught. Since GSP is the greatest fighter in the world, anyone that he beats, is always because he is awesome. Hughes was kicked in the nuts twice, you can’t say that didn’t take anything away from him, he’s never one to complain, even after trigg kneed him in the groin, and mario didn’t stop the fight, he didn’t say anything about it. Hughes had a bad strategy against GSP last time, I’ll give you that, he should have taken him down, and not tried to exchange with him, Hughes has a better ground game than GSP. I’m sure they’ll fight again, so we’ll see how that goes. As far as the potential goes, I said more potential than previously shown, not more potential than GSP. He has more room to improve. The more you practice at something, the more proficient you get, at a certain point you will plateau, I’m saying Koscheck will and has improved his game since previous fights. If we fought each other, ending in a draw, and I had been fighting for 10 years, but this was your first fight, chances are, if you got more time to practice, you’ll come out on top in the next meeting.

So what if Karo beat Sera , GSP beat Karo.
This is a genuine example of why people dilike Kos for all the Fans that like him and ask why does evryone hate Kos. Maybe if GSP was an a$$hole this remark would be less irritating. But GSP is one of the nicest guys in the UFC. I understand they like to sh1talk before fights cuz it hypes it. It makes most people overlook Koschecks abilities cuz they just want to see him get crushed. I dont see how hughes gets brought into this clusterf*ck. you cant compare one of the greatest champions the UFC has had to date to Kos.

Hughes already said the low blows effected his thigh more than his groin.
Its a good matchup there both real athletes. GSP has a better skill set than KOS. Is it possible for KOS to win yeah but its more likely that GSP will either KO kos or get the decision. Kos has potential but i still dont rate him top 5. If he beats GSP i’ll move him up to maybe 4th or 5th. His win over diego im gonna basically ignore unless he soundly beats him in a rematch because i like diego im ignorant and i dont like seeing the fighters i like lose.

I understand exactly what you are saying, but you obviously don’t, or you would realize this is the reason GSP beat Hughes the 2nd time (Matt had plateaued, GSP got alot better), not because of a kick in the leg (and a little toe tickle on the berries).It’s not that Matt decided not to take GSP down, GSP made that decision for him.
Kos by dec. I’m making the unpopular call. If he gets stomped then I’ll eat crow, but until then my prediction stands!
Kos needs to get rid of the lame ass fro hairdo…GSP is a machine…he just got lackadaisical w/ Serra…GSP has beaten the absolute best….I doubt KOS is as good of a wrestler, despite any college accalades, as Matt Hughes is….the KOS/Sanchez fight was a joke and Diego was in a shell….if both are at their bests….there is NO debate GSP slaughters KOS by TKO stoppage.

Excellent
I can remember a guy by the name of Nate Quarry who said Rich Franklin had a weak chin and we all know what happened there.
Can Kos fight? Yeah, he’s better than the majority of bloggers here think, but he’s in for a painful night if he underestimates GSP. Kos has great wrestling. Everybody knows that. But, his striking is not at GSP’s level and if he’s put on his back, I’m not 100% sure about his skills from the bottom.
Matt Serra hits very hard. Ask Karo who almost went out quicker than GSP. So, I don’t think GSP has a weak chin, I think he just didn’t believe Serra could hit that hard. Kos on the other hand, does not hit as hard a Serra.
GSP is coming off of the most devestating loss of his career. Losing the title to one of the biggest if not the biggest, underdogs in the history of the sport. he is going to look to make a statement to get his name, and his title rematch back on track. That is the only chance Kos has to win. Hoping GSP is so anxious to prove himself again that he rushes and makes a mistake.
We all know anything can happen in the octagon, so I’m looking at this fight as possible fight of the night. I think Kos is going to fare better than most of the comments here think, but when it’s over I believe St. Pierre’s hand will be raised.
Kos has balls, who has he fought, that actually means anything to MMA for the most part. GSP has fought the who’s who of the game and has won. GSP beating MAtt Hughes, BJ Penn, Karo, and Trigg should say it all. On top of the way GSP won those matches they were all clear cut wins subs and TKO’s. The 2 biggest names Kos has fought Drew Fickett submitted him for a lose and Diego he won but as unanimous as it was it was nowhere near a GSP win. He did not let it all out, the way GSP does. You can not fight the big names and win with out letting it all out, and that is what makes GSP a champ and KOS a flaming homotestical.

GSP will know him out. KOS got lucky against Diego in a really non action bout. That bout deserved a rematch. Diego deserves a title match more the KOS. GSP has been the champion and will return the champion just as Matt has stated.
Matt Hughes couldn’t take GSP down and GSP is a much better striker than Sanchez. Kos might be in some trouble.
You guys fail to realize that this fight will be nothing more then a Traditional Karate point match. Its going to be Danielson VS cobrakai all over again.They are both going to stand there most of the time but GSP will kick him 3 or 4 times per round and win.Snoozer at best.Oh and maybe GSP will stuff a few of KOS’s thalf hearted takedown attempts…..
Gord, I was stating that Kos has fought quality fighters before, I know GSP has beaten Karo Perisyan, and Matt Hughes didn’t even try to take GSP down until he was hurt, even then it was a half assed attempt, if Hughes’s gameplan was to take GSP down early, it would have happened. The Monkey, GSP won the fight against BJ Penn by decision, sorry if that ruins your explanation, Hughes beat Penn By TKO.

In that case Im gonna stop watching MMA and start watching golf and cricket,it will be more entertaining.
Is that what you want to see,people like Kos grind out a boring desicion,he dosnt care about the fans or the entertainment value aslong as he has a win under his belt.I hope GSP smashes Koshchecks stupid head in.
Kos will fight GSP just like like he fought Diego.
I was going to write out a fair and deep response to Kos, but this is all I have:
GSP will run circles around Kos like he did in GSP-Hughes 2. Your head is going to get smashed in hHAhAhAhHAhahAHHAhaHAhAhahHAhaHA ahAhAh AAhAA!
i love all you kos hater’s!! i hope he proves you all wrong!!
if not liking a fighter who fights in the ufc like its a college wrestling or TKD point match makes me a KOS hater then i’m guilty
GSP has a weak chin and no heart lol. This is so funny. GSP has so much to lose if he loses this fight. He is probably taking this fight with the most intensity he has ever had! GAP can not lose..he can but he wants that title back! This is going to be a one sided fight. Yes Josh can throw a punch but GSP would pick him apart technically! Josh has the best wrestling but GSP is no slouch…GSP will not be controlled by Josh. I wouldnt be surpised if GSP stuffs all of his takedown attemps. I wouldnt be surprised to see GSP go for the takedown and GNP him and then RNC. This is my prediction im saying it now. RNC for GSP Win. Josh will give his hack when he is getting pummled by elbows to the face, and GSP will sink in the choke regaining respect that is well deserved that was lost by the serra fight. People will consider GSP the man again when he sends Josh into early retirement. lol. I cant wait for GSP title fight!! WAR GSP!!!
The chin thing is absolutely retarded. I’m pretty sure BJ tested his chin several times in their fight. The only punch that rocked Georges was Serra’s punch that actually wasn’t even close to his “chin”. That punch hit him behind the ear where their is a vane that effects your equilibrium. If anyone is hit in this spot, you’re balance is completly messed up. Georges got right back and didn’t have a scratch on him….weak chin….hahahah….no heart?? hahahahh….god I can’t stand this guy….I’ve never wanted GSP to beat a guy as bad as I wan’t him to destroy KOS>…
[quote comment=”114662″]so many Kos haters…I love GSP and i think he’s gonna win this one but not by KO, it will go all the way for a decision and it will be a close one. Kos is just too strong of a wrestler and his stand up has improved a great deal. GSP will fight a very defensive fight cuz of being KO’ed by Serra, so we won’t see the aggressive GSP that KTFO of Hughes…to bad but he’ll still get the decision[/quote]
..I do think that loss against Serra will play into the psyche of GSP..this should be a War..(F’ a deision)..I hope these two lay it on the line and not have it be judged. Kos coming of a lack luster Victory over Diego..regardless a W..has a confidence buster and GSP after getting KTFO needs one..which are the perfect ingredints for a WAR.
