If Kos thinks he can use Yoshida as a stepping stone (which doesn’t make sense because he’s already fought the champ once) then he’d been in for one ride. Although I think Kos would probably take this, Yoshida is one stone that hits back so I’ll be picking Yoshida to win the upset.

Yoshida is a BALLER! He is the real deal! Thihs guy is no ones stepping stone. Not saying he will beat Kos, although I give Yoshida a great chance, but Yoshida has a very bright future ahead of him in the UFC’s welterweight division.

Already, I think he could beat guys like Marcus davis, Swick or Rumble. Give this guy time to get situated and he wil be a ww MONSTER!

Kos has made some of the fastest improvement in mma from being just a wrestler. He outstruck Deigo with superior genetic speed. He looked slow with GSP, as did Fitch after getting rocked fast and never fully recovered. BJ if in shape has the best chance of beating GSP. BJ has an awesome underated jab that f*cked up GSP and stuffed most of his takedowns in the early rounds. When he got tired GSP went to work. A Focused BJ will be GSP.

Ok,i’ll break it down for you.Kos wins round 1 on 2/3 judges scorecards.GSP wins round 2 on all 3.Round 3 is th crucial round,the first 3 minutes is all standing,Georges is getting the better of it,with legkicks but he’s not being very aggresive.He’s keeping the distance because he’s afraid of Josh’s takedown power.2 minutes from the end of the fight Kos grabs a leg looking for a takedown,GSP beautifully sprawls and lands in top position and finishes the fight strong.If Kos was succesful with that takedown and was busy with gnp in the last 2 minutes of the fight he would have probably taken the round and the fight.

Anybody that suggests that Koscheck was a “Takedown” away from winning the GSP fight is confusing MMA with WRESTLING… GSP won the fight because he controlled Koscheck and was trying to submit him. He also stuffed a couple of Koscheck’s takedown attempts and delivered some ground and pound at the end of the fight.

MMA is about combining all the elements together… Something GSP does MUCH better than Koscheck ever will. It’s not that I dislike Koscheck, I’m just realistic about his talents and his progress through MMA to date. He is good but not THAT good.

I think Yoshida is being overrated. This matchup will be tough for him. Killer Bee (a smaller guy, one of the smaller in the division) outwrestled him their entire fight and was winning handily until he was reversed trying to get the back (was lazy in getting hooks). Kos is a bigger, more explosive wrestler and should control him easy. They shouldn’t be clinching too much for him to work his Judo and Kos even probably has the advantage standing.

Chase, are you really Matt in disguise and trying to fool us into thinking that there is actually more than one Koscheck fan in the world?
