    Per Sherdog, Koscheck will now be facing Alves at UFC 90.

    You haven't seen Kos' recent fights, hes been entertaining as hell, this is going to be an amazing fight.

    Yeah, Kos is a great replacement. I was really looking forward to Alves/Sanchez, but I think it'll still be a competitive, good fight.

    The Dustin Hazlett fight was beautiful but Chris Lytle that was boring although I expected that fight to go that way. Hopefully Koscheck comes out like he did vs Hazlett instead of that very low risk style he usually fights.

    Yea, Kos' upped his game surprisingly a lot. I don't think he's as exciting as Sanches(at least for me) but he's not the same guy as he was on tough at all.

    I think Kos brings more of a fight than Sanchez. Seeing that this fight might be for the next #1 contender spot, I think Kos deserves it more.

    Very disappointed..I was intrigued at how Sanchez would deal with Alves standup.
    This is a perfect matchup for Kos...Take Alves down at will and control the fight..might even do some GnP damage...GSP/Kos 2 if GSP gets by Penn

    ill be honest i really reallylike bj penn, want him to win, feel he will win, know he will win, but other than a rematch with hughes theres nothing interesting for him at 170, i think gsp in a rematch with kos or a matchup with alves would probably be better

    BJs my favorite fighter..let him try to achieve greatness and try to beat GSP..When he does his legacy is secured as the best ever
    then he can move down to face Kenflo..I know Kenflo has very little chance but I'm still intrigued by it

    As for Kos/GSP..Im very excited to see this...I feel Kos is the only guy at WW that can match GSP athletically...as far as Alves..I see GSP taking him down and stopping him

    why not? ..there has been no fighter ever in MMA to beat two consensus bigger p4p#1 (Hughes and GSP)fighters in their primes and beat them. No one has a challenge as big as Penn does in GSP.. Unless GSP challenges Silva.

    BJ is a natural born fighter fulfilling his prophecy ... not many people can deny him as the best

    Its a big if though

    He lost to both of them. All he'll be doing is avenging his loss. I guess if we get so excited about avenging losses Fedor is screwed huh?

    Fedor is the greatest HW ever and one of the the 4 considered as top p4p but being undefeated is not the only key to being the greatest..if that is your criteria than there is nothing more that can be done..

    My criteria is simple..If BJ beats GSP..He would have beaten two of the greatest fighters p4p in the history of MMA..who coincidentally has 20 pounds of muscle on him...two weightclass champ as well...along with the natural skills and technique..Id say he will be remembered as the greatest
