Josh Koscheck Vs. Anthony Johnson

I think Koscheck would take it to the ground and keep it there pretty easy if he felt like it, don't know if he would choose to though.

Hardy does have good power so he could potentially stop Kos, but I would go with Koscheck by UD

 

Koscheck is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. Besides that pissing fiasco in TUF..he has really been solid both in and out of the cage.

He showed alot of heart with the Alves loss and he just keeps on winning and doing it impressively.

 

Have to give Koscheck credit for really developing his standup. I don't think the finger was intentional..

Not sure what to think about that knee on the ground.. Looked like he blocked it with his arm and got grazed on the other eye, and poked himself in the eye while faking an injury, but oh well.. Went from being a no class piece of ****, one dimensional takedown wrestler, to a guy who could hang with Anthony Johnson standing, and fall back on his wrestling. If it wasn't for absolute beasts like GSP and BJ Penn around, he'd probably be a champ..

 

Wtf, i just watched the video and Kos was holding his left eye when it was his right eye that got poked. LOL The knee, if anything, hit his right eye also. Kos played that one up big time.

 

I will admit up front, I like Koscheck for personal reasons. I've interviewed him a couple times for articles, and he's always willing to talk and very forthcoming. Hell, he gave me his cellphone number and said to call him whenever I had a question. That's pretty sweet.

With that said, I also like Koscheck the fighter. He's an old-time warrior, always willing to step in at the last minute and take on the toughest guys in the division. He wants to fight 12 times in 2010. That's unheard of. The man is a warrior, and in a matter of years, he's gone from being a lay 'n pray fighter to a well-rounded, dynamic battler.

 

Did not know that but that sounds real cool and Koscheck seems like a decent guy. As far as him the fighter goes hes one of the most exicting fighters on the planet then last 2 years so you HAVE to love him.

 

:good:good. It seems like Kos has acquired a lot of new fans (Myself included) over the past year or so, with his attitude!! He is much improved and long may he remain injury free!! As much as I would like to see Hardy fight for the title, I believe that Kos deserves a shot more (If anyone has any doubts, please consider who the guy has fought) but hey i'd love to see them fight each other and were they to do so, i'd have to go with Kos.

 

I don't know how to make gifs. Watching the fight again, it's clear that Johnson unintentionally puts his thumb in Kos' eye BEFORE he throws the knee, like, less than a second before. That's why Kos' left eye was bothering him.
