    BTW Anthony was a national wrestling champ in college so he's not stranger to fighting on the ground although he usually KO's his opponents without being forced to go there.

    Community college; Koscheck was an undefeated Division one champion and had a second, third, and fourth place as well; large difference.

    Lesnar was a JUCO champ at one time as well.....

    Regardless Kos isn't going to be taken Johnson down anyhow....Johnson is as tough to take down as Liddell but with far more explosive striking option.....this Saturday starts the Rumble ERA!!!!

    So are a lot of others, it doesn't mean you aren't good, it just isn't the indicator that an undefeated d1 championship with 3 other solid years are, or Lesnars moving on and winning a d1 championship.

    Johnson only had one year, Lesnar and Kos were proven over and over.

    In MMA Johnson is similarly unproven; what we know is he has trouble making weight, has huge power, but a suspect ground game. We know a lot more about Koscheck, and a hell of a lot more about GSP.

    Certainly weighing in excess of 30 pounds over had nothing to do with it, either time.

    Sorry to have insulted Rogers like that.

    When you can't even win a 10 second period against Josh Koscheck even after illegally KO'ing him, you will not beat GSP. You do not deserve do mentioned in the same sentance as GSP. You should probably ask permission to be in the same building as GSP.

    Good hopefully the hype of Anthony "The Finger" Johnson finally ends. The guy can't barely make weight and there is always a eye poke or 3 in every fight he is in.

    Johnson vs. Hardy would be a fun striking match. But after seeing how easily Koscheck outwrestled Rumble, I have no doubt in my mind that GSP would **** Rumble and Hardy at the same time.

    Yea I don't see any of those guys beating GSP, Hardy, Johnson, Kos all lose it what I think can be all easy fights for GSP.

    Not to be too insulting, but I have to do it :lol:

    Ah, how sweet it is.

    Let's break it down.

    He did; at will.

    Noteable people Liddell has stopped from taking him down and knocked out:
    Randleman, Mezger, Babalu (twice), Overeem, Tito (twice), Randy (twice)

    Notable people Johnson has stopped from taking him down and knocked out:
    Tommy Speer, Kevin Burns, Lugi Fiorivanti, Yoshida.

    You're right about everything except Koscheck took him down at will, outstruck him despite being illegally KO'd first, and Johnson doesn't have a fourth of the takedown defense or striking power as Liddell. Other than those things though; dead on.

    What about Kos' point about him being better than Dan Hardy?

    I think Hardy should get the fight, just because it was promised, it is good for an English fighter to get a shot, Kos already fought GSP (not a champ fight though), and Kos is too close to his loses to both the Thiago's.

    That said, I think Kos would beat Hardy quite handliy, and put up a much better fight than Hardy will against GSP (he already put up one good fight against GSP, a 3 rounder though)
