GSP is obviously more talented. Im not counting Kos out though. I think he has a chance of an upset here.

KOS is going to fight naked. Now that is something we haven’t seen.

Never liked Koschek. He’s ignorent and has no respect. Hated that little pretty boy since season 1. Hope he gets his bell rung.

Kos doesnt sound too confident in this video.

“Depends on which Koscheck is going to show up”

Sounds unsure of himself– or maybe its just an excuse if he loses.

I don’t see Kos winning this, but I hope he brings everything he has because I want to see an exciting fight.

He’s sounds unsure whether he’ll win. hahaha He was much happier when he was talking about fighting Serra and then his face changed when he was talking about GSP

If GSP losses this fight, will everyone still be on his bandwagon or will he remain in everyones books as there favorite fighter or be at the end of the book?

Depends which KOS shows up… uhhh ohh.. seems like someone isen’t 2 sure how talented he is..

Kos is already thinking he is going to be the champ by thinking he will beat Serra….get past GSP 1st Goldie locks.

KOS needs a hair cut.

If its a normal night…….st.pierre wins, he’s got too many tools in his tool box for koscheck, but everyone thought st.pierre would destroy serra. I agree with koscheck that he could beat serra, st.pierre is everything he is except with better submissions,striking and is stronger. He seems strangely unconfident in this video, why the change of heart? what happened?

If GSP loses, he will still be my favorite fighter. I’m sure a few have already left since his Serra loss. Trust me, he will get to the top again. His skill level is just too strong to not get him there again. A former manager can say whatever he wants, but he’s just hating.

hahaha, just saw the video. Koscheck is terrified.

Yes we’ll see something we’ve never SEEN before….koscheck get out grappled by another fighter. And as he said the fans will get to see what they want to see, kosceck get his arse kicked.

I really cant see a mentaly tough, young, but seasoned world class fighter like GSP loose two in a row, especially at the hands of Josh Koschek. Sure Rich Franklin and Arlovski were “unstoppable”, then loss and have suffered mental breakdowns which have prevented them from fighting the dominate way they are accustomed to fighting. RF and AA lost to good fighters that were on the same level as they were(sylvia, silva). GSP on the other hand lost to a lesser opponent which some people consider a “fluke”, which is much harder to overcome then the rf aa situations.

My point being If GSP is on top of his game, which I expect, and predict that he will be, he will not only beat Kos, he will also finish him. TKO style

GSP on the other hand lost to a lesser opponent which some people consider a “fluke”, which is much harder to overcome then the rf aa situations.

Correction: which is much easier to overcome then the RF and AA situation.

i agree Kos looks a little bit nervous.
I think Fitch should replace him.

I do want Kos to win…he trains in my home town

BandwagonbandwagonbandwagonbandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagonBandwagon. you tired of seeing Bandwagon yet cuz i know i am. My point is this most Fans have more than one fighter they like. Now while there screename may not reflect that believe me its true. So when a fighter you like is gonna fight a fighter you dont like(or just gonna be fighting in general) and it happens to be a topic on a Blog your subscribed to. you will probably express your opinion on the fight and how you see it going or whatever you feel like putting down at the time. But damn i know its like all of these people all of the sudden are GSP fans now where did they all come from its gotta be this Bandwagon theory ive been hearing so much about. Its a simple concept. Lots of people like GSP who just so happens to be Fighting a fighter that is (controversial shall we say for lack of a better word) in the near future. Since its a good MMA topic it happens to be on a blog on well known Website. Now all the GSP fans of that blog subscription see the topic and voice their opinions. Then there has to be the guy that starts the Bandwagon deal up. Very rarely is there a Bandwagon problem its just simply fans that like GSP more than Kos or Fans that have liked GSP. So get off the bandwagon of Saying Bandwagon all the time.

I’m not a front-runner, nor is GSP my favorite fighter, not even in the welterweight division. However, I do like GSP because he is always in an exciting fight. This sport, like all sports, is about entertainment. GSP is flat-out entertaining.

I have an insider in Kos’ camp. I know the new exciting strategy he is going to use in this fight. HE WILL ACTUALLY THROW PUNCHES AND KICKS. My source says he may even go for a takedown or two and put him in the “Blanket” submission. That or a Triple Decker Pecker Wrecker.

KOS looking ahead at fighting Serra?? He should be more worried about GSP. I will be surprised if he pulls this upset. I don’t think GSP will fall so easily this time.

Serra won the jack pot, one in a million shot, no way koscheck can duplicate that. Its like watching a guy at the casino win $10,000 on the slot machines and then rushing over to play the same machine, your efforts will be in vain. If koscheck wins by a decision, I’ll NEVER make another comment on this site again, hold me to it, I don’t care thats how certain I am gsp wins this one, if he loses its a lucky punch, no other way. No welter weight can beat gsp by decision in a normal fight, other that some freak arm bar or eye poke….not going to happen.

TALK IS CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

hes a fuckin goof ,if ufc got rid of tito,kos,sylvia,and nate diaz,it’d b a better place

Im realy excited to see GSP smash this goons head in,I have zero respect for Koshcheck as a person or as a fighter and I dont care what anyone thinks of that.I hope GSP retires him.

matt serra would kick kos’s ass

Why all the Kos Hate? Kos isn’t looking past GSP..he thought he would get to fight Serra for the Title because that’s kinda what Dana promised.

Kois is excited to fight GSP…who he ranks and the number 1 WW…Kos is hte man but I agree, he’s losing this fight 8 out of 10 times.

I totally agree with you Nathan but I’d fall-back from the “NEVER make another comment on this site again” thing. You’r one of the few left here that wheter I agree with you or not, actually has some MMA knowledge & gives valid arguements & supporting facts. As we know, ANYTHING can happen & I’d hate to see you talk yourself out posting here in the future based on a fluke. It’d be like GSP vs Serra all over again :p

who does this guy Kos think he is?! he wins one sorry ass fight with diego, and already he thinks hes champ! over looking GSP is a BIG mistake! GSP is gona crush his head in!

KOS should give him a good, good fight… If he brings his game. Even if he didn’t have some secret strategy, he should be able to hang. I would pick GSP to have a broader range of skills and being a better fighter. Of course I thought the same when he went against Serra???

Either way I hope it is a battle.

nobody gave serra a chance…

so i def give kos one

Thats the truth. Stephane Patry is just pissed off because all the good fighters he managed in TKO are jumping shit now that MMA is growing so rapidly. GSP is a nice guy, but if I was him, I would tell Patry he isn’t good enough to eat the pebbles out of my shit.

Correction: Jumping ship I meant. Not jumping shit. Though, in Quebec, that might mean something. ha.

Kos is going to eat a canadian knuckle sandwich. I hope Kos talks some more trash are really pisses GSP off. A pissed off GSP is unstoppable!! Just ask Matt Hughes :>P

[quote post=”3052″]A pissed off GSP is unstoppable!! Just ask Matt Hughes :>P [/quote]

Totally Agree with you on that one! lol

Similar to my inexplicable hatred of Diego, I like Kos from some reason… Not sure why, I just always pull for him in a fight.

He did NOT sound confident at all.

You have to admit that Kos is an amazingly athletic person. My only hope is that when (not if) GSP pushes him to his limit, his “fright” response takes over and we get to see that athleticism in full effect.

(Of course, GSP is also an amazing athlete…)

An exciting strategy?

Good to see he’s taking a new approach to fighting.

I quote “depends what Kos shows up” Sounds like he’s already making excuses. Maybe questioning a loss against GSP. This guys a damn clown

GSP has all the talent in the world but he is a flake. I like both guys and i dont know who i want to win…

Oh man, Kos is so bummed that he has to fight GSP instead of Serra. It was fun just to watch his change in tone as he was talking about each fighter.

I don’t blame him, it’s like a Heavyweight title contender watching a seemingly unstoppable Fedor get upset by a very beatable Tim Silvia, and then finding out that instead of a title match with Silvia, you get to face a pissed-off and motivated Fedor in his first comeback match.

you people don`t know shit a bout kos he will beat gsp

Maybe Koscheck’s lack of confidence is his new strategy. He probably thinks he’ll make GSP overconfident by acting tentative. He is an actor afterall.

He said he could beat Serra! When he said that he looked absolutely sure as if it could happen on any given day.

When it came to GSP his tone and body language sank and he said “it depends which Koscheck shows up”, lets hope its not the Koscheck in that video because he looks scared shitless.

Seems to me he is not totally convinced he can do it, however nerves can be a good thing. However I think he is going to be even more timid in this fight than the Diego fight worried about GSP’s abilities. GSP on the other hand is never hesitant he moves in for the kill no dancing.

Hopefully everyone saying Serra got a lucky shot will motivate him to train even harder for the Hughes fight.

Ha ha, triple decker……that video ruled.

…and I agree, Kos is a no-talent ass-clown. GSP has way too many tools at his disposal. I mean he DESTROYED, Frank Trigg, and I would hope most of you agree, that Trigg has way more talent than Kos.

That’s a typo. It should read “exiting strategy”. He’s planned a way to get the hell out of the cage to avoid GSP.

I think GSP is gonna win regardless, still dosnt mean kos dosnt have talent like alot are saying. Kos is very good and getting better every fight, just not GSP good yet, if ever, but all I know is if he dosnt back up that hype of exciting fight, win, lose, whatever, it’s really gonna upset me.

GSP is gonna come out hungry. We saw it against Trigg and Hughes, we saw his heart against BJ (whom I really admire as well). It’s redemption time. KOS does have some talent and is steadily improving his game but he is still minor league to this specimen of a fighter. I hope KOS likes Montreal smoked meat.

GSP GOING TO KNOCK HIM OUT

Don’t get me wrong. I know Kos is a talented fighter, and is one of the best WW’s in the world, but he just simply isn’t as good as GSP.

well find out shortly….

smething tells me KOS is as good as GSP.

I think itll be an awesome fight

It depends which Josh Koscheck shows up? Kos MIGHT want to bring his A game.

Of course, I have other favorite fighters with more than just 3 losses, no big deal. The guy brings it and he is exciting to watch.

I don’t think he is going to bring anything we haven’t seen. Honestly this guy is very predictable. Not so diverse. St Pierre is another level of figher. I think Kos should get 911 on spped dial for this fight

How many of you guys predicted Serra to knock GSP’s ass out? Kos has a legite shot at winning this fight.

i really don’t know wat kos has up his sleeve! if he thinks he could just counter all of GSPs jabs and kicks all night, he has another thing coming! He has some balls looking past GSP like that! Kos is in for a long night,…in the HOSPITOL!!!

add diego to that list

Koscheck is actually looking forward to a fight with Serra for the title? So he’s counting out both GSP against himself, and Hughes against Serra in December. I’m sorry but this guy is gonna have his work cut out for him. If he manages to get past GSP (unlikely) then he’s ultimately going to end up facing Matt Hughes further down the line. Matt Hughes is a more experienced version of Koscheck with a much wider skill base. In my honest opinion I feel that GSP can beat them all when he’s on his A-Game, anyone who disagrees with this should watch GSP’s fights with Trigg, Sherk, and Hughes.

[quote comment=”127749″]hes a fuckin goof ,if ufc got rid of tito,kos,sylvia,and nate diaz,it’d b a better place[/quote]

I completly disagree….and they should bring back Nick Diaz

Im going to be rooting for Josh Koscheck in this one and I really feel that he is going to win a three round decision and it will be very close.

I cant stop laughing at how bad you guys are bashing him. Like its hysterical, he’s like a freshman getting picked on his first day in high school haha. Poor guy, never had a chance with you bloggers lol.

“Maybe Koscheck’s lack of confidence is his new strategy. He probably thinks he’ll make GSP overconfident by acting tentative. He is an actor afterall.”

Some ppl here, have misunderstood this video. He wasn’t looking past GSP, but merely telling the story of how he was lined up for a title shot and then it taken away.

Since he’s gonna fight GSP, that title shot might not come for awhile.

KOS already looks and sounds scared to fight GSP. On his way to the octagon, there’s going to be a trail of Josh’s urine on the ramp.

I really wish that instead of KOS vs GSP, it was Jon Fitch vs GSP. I truely think that that match up would be a better fight. What do you guys and girl think?

Altough I like Fitch and GSP is my favorite, I think GSP would bee too much for Fitch to handle. Fitch is great, don’t get me wrong, but he needs to fight someone that’s really good, such as Diego before he fights a former champ.

So you’re inferring that KOS can handle GSP? Do you think that KOS has a better chance at beating GSP than Fitch? KOS and Fitch are training partners, and would never fight each other, but if they did, who do you think would win? I personally think that Fitch would win via submission or GnP.

I don’t think that either can handle GSP right now. GSP is way more than KOS can handle. I think that Fitch can throw down with GSP better than KOS would. Hopefully Fitch and KOS will fight soon. I see Fitch winning in the second round. I hate KOS just as much as the next guy and expect GSP to win by KO in the first.

Remember what Tym Silvia said about Serra beating GSP, “He just got lucky, Matt Hughes will destroy him” and I hope that does happen cuz Serra has been an arrogant fuck since he won that title. KOS will get KTFO by GSP so maybe we’ll see Hughes Vs GSP 2!!

What does koscheck have on gsp? nothing….in an mma sense, this is NOT a college wrestling match on a mat, its a fight in a cage. St.Pierre is athletic,fast and a good wrester like koscheck but he’s superior in strength,submissions and striking, how is he going to win a 3 round decision? Koschecks ONLY chance is like every other welter weight….a lucky punch, that’s it.

When someone is such a superior wrestler, they can really beat anyone. I actually think that you’re better off to be a great wrestler whos one dimensional than an average wrestler whos more well rounded.

If Kos and Serra both win (or both loose), then we might even be able to see Hughes vs Koscheck down the line. That would be a phenomenal wrestling match, which Matt will find out that he is no longer the best wrestler in the division. Koscheck’s wrestling is far better than Matt’s, and after that fight with Diego, Id say Kos is the better striker as well.

Koscheck is 4 time all American and 42-0 back in his college days. Definitely the best wrestler (if not the most decorated) in the UFC.

How has serra been anymore cocky than that prick Matt Hughes (Matt Hughes everybody: Attributes, the flake actually has incredibly strong, posted on the screen before fights, what a jerkoff) Matt Hughes made many more arrogant comments about a variety of people, and groups of people. IMO I hope serra brings it to that cocky prick Hughes and serves him up some just deserts. Nice to laugh at your supposed friend GSP when he got KTFO

Griffin fan that says it all specially since he’s got no chance against shogun, Spaghetti armpunches and what a crybaby by the way LOL. Having said that, Kos is doing what serra did, which is dnot addind fuel to the fire prefight. He will just show up and be prepared to take care of business. KOSCHECK future ww champ

Kos should just bend over nicely for GSP. He’s not confident, whereas GSP is. He’s not Champion material….nobody likes Kos, not even people who like him, ACTUALLY like him. If he decides to “blanket” GSP, he will get submitted, if he tries to throw, he will get tuned, go back to a reality show.

GSP will handel Josh. Watch GSPs’ scraps. He is a very bad man and he will dominate this guy. Kos will not be able to shoot on him, george is way too strong. George will win via TKO in round 2 and that is it. If he does not win this way, he will win by submission in the same round. Kos is not ready for George. George is an animal.

Dude, what is your point?

Sg

Man I hate kos im not even sure how he made it this far in the UFC I think I can count the # of punches he has throwen through out all his fights on one hand and I don’t think I would even need to use my thumb in that counting prosses…

A true fighter would have wanted GSP to win so he can face the overall better fighter. With Kos saying “oh yes, Serra won, that is great for me” just shows how weak he really is. All that political talk about fighting GSP etc. doesn’t cover it up. Kos is scared and not confident in himself. I truly think deep down inside he just wants to show a strong performance while thinking that a loss is forthcoming.

The best basketball players wanted to cover Jordan all the time. Kos is the type that would have played for a couple minutes, fouled him and thought they are on the same level because he didn’t score on that play.

hey, styles make fights so lets examine their styles.

1. gsp has done very well against wrestlers in the past. look at his fights against matt hughes(wrestler), frank trigg(wrestler), sean sherk(wrestler), jay hieron(wrestler), dave strasser(wrestler)

2. kos has fought many different styles of fighters with success and shows he can implement gameplans well.

3. kos is a high level purple belt in bjj, and training with dave camarillo has given him better judo trips in addition to his wrestling.

4. gsp is a very good brown belt in bjj, he also trains with the olypic wrestlers so he also has very good wrestling.

in my opinion the fight should go somewhat like this:

rd.1 they start out feeling each other out, gsp lands some solid strikes to koscheck. kos still wants to try striking, but more punches and maybe some body kicks make kos begin to set up some shots. halfway through the round kos scores a takedown and ends up in gsps full guard, he stays busy enough to avoid the standup but does no dmg.

rd2. gsp comes out careful, they exchange for another 2 or 3 minutes then kos goes in for a shot and gsp sprawls, kos drives him against the fence and after another minute kos takes him down he pounds away more actively than before, but no real damage. they standup with about a minute left and exchange a little bit more, gsp being wary of the takedown. kos showing good standup.

rd3. kos comes out confident but evasive, he is losing the standup but not by much, he knows he won the first two rounds so he is more defensive, very evasive. gsp is gaining confidence and with about 3 mins left lands some good leg kicks and some knees in the clinch. kos is hurt, he shoots in but this time gsp sprawls and powers him onto his back, gsp is on top landing devastating ground and pound and the fight is stopped.

just one way it could go

Kos’ comment about facing serra for an easy title are comical

id put him as a slight underdog against GSP…
will definitely stick some $$$$ on him if i can get odds of 5/1 or greater

if he does pull off the upset then he does deserve the title shot

problem for him is that serra is probably an even greater underdog against matt hughes than serra was against GSP

lightning wont strike twice… GSP was slipping all over the mat and serra landed a couple of lucky shots

hughes is going to pick serra up drop him into the floor and pound on him a bit then probably finish him with either the trapped arm punching the head like hee did BJ or some other kind of power submission on an arm

KOS’ chances of facing serra and getting an “easy” title are around 100/1

should be a great fight between KOS and GSP… shame its not on the london card so i could be within touching distance

GSP cannot win this because he just gets too nervous. It doesn’t matter that he beat BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Karo Parisyan, Frank Trigg, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, and Sean Sherk. None of that even matters….cuz Kos is just so much better than all of them.
Yeah people….I’m kidding. Take everything I said and flip it.

If you are referring to GSP as average, I would disagree. first I don’t think GSP is just an average wrestler. He has proven to hold his own against some of the toughest wrestlers in his class and even defeated most of them. I think the only real advantage KOS…MAY POSSIBLY have is his physical strength. He has shown that in some of his past fights. I don’t think GSP is going to be beaten by being out wrestled.

Kos is a soperior wrestler howevever all around he is not in the same class as GSP. Serra is not in the same class either and does not deserve to hold that belt as he has not had enough tough wins to prove himself.

rd.1 they start out feeling each other out, gsp lands some solid strikes to koscheck. kos still wants to try striking, but more punches and maybe some body kicks make kos begin to set up some shots. halfway through the round kos scores a takedown and ends up in gsps full guard, he stays busy enough to avoid the standup but does no dmg.

rd2. gsp comes out careful, they exchange for another 2 or 3 minutes then kos goes in for a shot and gsp sprawls, kos drives him against the fence and after another minute kos takes him down he pounds away more actively than before, but no real damage. they standup with about a minute left and exchange a little bit more, gsp being wary of the takedown. kos showing good standup.

rd3. kos comes out confident but evasive, he is losing the standup but not by much, he knows he won the first two rounds so he is more defensive, very evasive. gsp is gaining confidence and with about 3 mins left lands some good leg kicks and some knees in the clinch. kos is hurt, he shoots in but this time gsp sprawls and powers him onto his back, gsp is on top landing devastating ground and pound and the fight is stopped.[/quote]

Way too much thinking here… GSP is not gonna wait for something to happen - he will take the action to KOS and make it happen. KOS will be the ultra conservative one looking for an opening that he can’t find. Remember GSP/Hughes II? GSP was all business and showed complete and utter dominance of Hughes. KOS is nowhere near the fighter Hughes is.

Aww man, you gave away the ending… Now I know who’s going to win. haha

I see that as a good call. You are probably going to be pretty accurate.

[quote post=”3052″]Im not a big Kos fan but after the Sanchez fight i like him a little. I could see him winning, Gsp gets to nervous, i do think it will be an exciting fight, i hope[/quote]
I think you ment to say GSP is always confident (just watch the begining of his fights, he can’t wait to tear them apart), he just got nervous once.

[quote post=”3052″]When someone is such a superior wrestler, they can really beat anyone. I actually think that you’re better off to be a great wrestler whos one dimensional than an average wrestler whos more well rounded.[/quote]
The thing is Kos is a superior wrestler only on paper, in an MMA fight GSP will have the better wrestling, mark my words. GSP will be the one taking kos down. How do I know this? because GSP can take ANYONE down.

It feels like we’ve been talking about this fight for ages. Holy man, someone press the fast forward button to next Saturday. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long week.

Ugh, sounds like GSP is gonna get his oil checked…

May the best fighter win!! Please!!

Prediction gsp wins in the first round by tko. there.

i just think that kos has good enough wrestling to put gsp on his back a few times but there is a strong chance for the shot to be reversed, a la frank trigg, sean sherk.

and i think when it is reversed kos will have no answer for gsps ground and pound.

however i traind at American kickboxing academy from june 23 to august 10 and kos was in their soo much, every time i went in he was working the bags or the mitts, and he looked really fast and in shape, i think we will see a different kos in this fight, but my opinion is it wont be enough.

I liked kosh but GSP WILL WIN EASILY. but they both are charge forward kinda guys. this match will be PURE ACTION. UFC KNOWS HOW TO MAKE FIGHTS.

KOS IS SO FUCKED

yes it will

To be honest I don’t dislike koscheck and was rooting for him to upset diego and thought he might pull off a split or majority decision and was right, had no idea it would go down the way it did and thought kos would eke out a decision by his wrestling. I think diego and koschek are pretty close to 50/50 but diego definitely had a bad night. Kos has a lot of potential and is an athletic freak but gsp is just too much for his right now, everything his is and a lot more.

yep nathan I agree with ya. GSP is too much for kos. GSP is just the overall mma package. Hes got it All.. I love Kos hes an athletic machine and His boxing skillz keep gettin better and better. But GSP Striking skillz are a tad better.

‘i was like this is great - i’m gonna be world champion’
yay!

a new belt - thanks santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya think?

hmmm…

Who is this guy? Who the hell have you beat to even talk such crap… A strategy that nobody has seen before? What the hell are you going to do that not even the best fighters have not yet done. Kos indeed has a bright future but needs to really keep his mouth shut. I’m going to be champ…First of all try getting a resume like GSP first. I hope this kick get highlight reeled tomorrow night!
