I think he's that much of ******. Look at Nam Pham's last day of training; Kos no showed. He's a hypocrit: he messed with the guys on GSP's team, but got all pissy when someone said something about the kids on his team. And the things he says aren't always directed at GSP and they just make him sound like a bit ch. This will be a good fight; I hope he got under GSP's skin. It will be good to see GSP going full force!!!
That's right, I forgot that he didn't show up to train him. That was ridiculous. Seeing Pham training all by himself - I felt bad for the guy. Then Kos seemed so concerned about his fighter on fight day - so two-faced of him. It was amusing to hear just about all of Kos' guys turned against him, and were making fun of him. He deserved that.
He's definitely that person - it's been known back to his wrestling days. The dude's tough, but GSP will not look past him. Serra caught GSP - it was fair and square - and Kos has a great punch, but I can't see Georges making that mistake again. Training with Roach is impressive - I have major respect for what GSP has done. Seeks out the best to be the best. I think this one will be ugly - Kos WILL be KTFO!
I would love to see Koscheck knock GSP out (and this is coming from a Canadian GSP fan). I can't bear the thought of seeing another 25 minute GSP fight where he does nothing but lay & pray. If GSP doesn't finish this fight by KO or submission, I will boycott all of his future fights.
What?!?!? You call yourself a "Canadian GSP fan", and you want Kos to KO him?!?!? Anyone else see so many things wrong with that statement??? I am a huge GSP fan, and I want GSP to knock Kos' lights out, preferably in the 5th round, so we can at least get to see some action. Dude, I think you need to rethink whom you are actually a fan of. Your statement makes zero sense.
I like him as a person. I've met him several times. He's been more than courteous on each occasion. That I am a fan of. His fighting (as of late)? Not so much. What I meant by my statement is that I'd much rather see Kosheck knock him out than to see GSP bore us for 25 minutes en route to a decision victory. Trust me, I hate Koscheck just as much as the next guy...
How about just saying you want to see GSP KO Kos??? Wouldn't that be the logical wish if you are a GSP fan?
I've read several reports that GSP has a strong focus on finishing this fight, because of the tremendous dislike of Kos. I truly hope you will be eating your words after this fight is over. Tell me, what if GSP submits him? Would that be impressive to you, or are you only looking for a KO? Personally, I don't give a rat's ass how GSP wins this fight. If he does so by controlling a Division 1 wrestler on the ground, I'll be impressed with that. If he submits him, I am fine with that too. If he knocks his lights out, which of course will be the most dramatic fashion, that will impress me as well. I have zero issues with a fighter fighting smartly. In fact, it's only an idiot of a fighter who does not, and normally never becomes champ, let alone defends his belt.
Just watched the weigh - ins. Man that Koscheck!!!!! He Really gets under my skin. i can't stand him. It was beautiful, ALL the fans were booing him. In the interview after the weigh-ins, he told Rogan he was gonna put GSP to sleep. GSP said. The bully will get bullied. I will KICK HIS A**!!!!! The fans went crazy!
I almost hope GSP puts on a lackluster 25 minute performance so I can see you try and defend it. Why is it that Anderson Silva gets ridiculed for putting on a boring 25 minute fight, but when GSP does it he's considered "smart"? Bottom line, if GSP doesn't finish this fight, he's going to lose a TON of fans and his marketability is going to plummet.
Am I the only Kos fan here? LOL I really like both fighters and doesn't matter to me who wins, but GSP will NOT submit Kos... I think alot of you guys forgot how good Kos is. He is not the #1 contender by fluke. He has alot of talent-----Either way I hope it is an exciting fight and it does not go to the judges scorecard.....
The UFC promoted Cain exclusivley as the first Hispanic Champion and made mention about him being Mexican numerous times before and after the Lesnar fight...... The UFC played that race card big time....
Calling yourself a GSP fan is an insult to GSP fans. Next time you run into him, why don't you tell him how much of a fan you are, and that you were hoping that Kos was going to knock him out? Let me know how that goes. Big difference I see when watching Silva's controversial fights is that there are giant lapses in action, where his opponent is trying to lure him to the ground, or Silva is just dancing around, doing absolutely nothing but showboating. When GSP fights, there are no lapses in action. There is constant engagement throughout the entire fight. Tell me, what was your opinion of the Silva/Sonnen fight? Was it boring because you think Sonnen laid on top of Silva the whole fight, or was it exciting because one fighter used his strength against another fighter's weakness? True, and I didn't care for it then either. It's a little different though, because what Phan said could have been interpreted as though he thought the judges scored against him because he is Asian. I know it's a stretch.........he could have just said that "this brother wasn't getting any love", there was no need to put "Asian" in there.
No kidding... If I support a team, person, etc, I don't ever WANT them to lose. That's a joke... You're not a GSP fan, you're a Kos fan. You want him to win.
Some great fights last night---Never had heard of Sean Pierson, he looked good, striking was very technical..
Great night for my boy! No, he didn't KO him, but he certainly put on a great show. Kos' face looked like hamburger! It was a dominant fight for GSP, and he has nothing to make excuses for. I am really surprised that Kos didn't go for more take downs. I wonder if that was in the plan, but got nullified with GSP's leg kicks. I was very happy to see a humbled Koscheck at the end. Props to him for giving GSP his dues. What a fight for Thiago Alves! He can certainly be called the best striker in the WW division, and it would be hard to argue against that. He looked as good as he ever has. Also, a beautiful win for Danzig. Completely unexpected. I picked Joe Daddy to win that one. Incredible win for Jim Miller over Oliveira. That was one of the more impressive wins of the night. Also, beautiful sub by Bocek over Hazelett. Very brave of him to ask for the fight with Sotiropoulos. If he gets it, he will certainly have his hands full. Struve's win over McCorkle did nothing for me. It didn't do anything for Struve's career.
Danzig and Miller - wow! I knew Miller was tough, but submitting "Do Bronx" was something - a kneebar no less! Danzig needed to pull a rabbit out of his hat - he did it! I am a big Joe Daddy fan - SHOCKED he got laid out...nice win though. No surprise on GSP - he tooled Kos, as expected...
Love to see Jim Miller get a shot at the title in the next year or so, he has come along way since his loss to Gray last year....
Alves called out Shields after the fight. I wonder how Dana White feels about that. RE: GSP - he's a machine, but he needs to learn how to finish fights.
I really enjoyed the show. Dan your boy sure did it!!!!! Nice job GSP. I always posted my opinion on better boxing in MMA. There ya go! Alves looked like the monster of old. Miller He'll get a title shot soon I hope. He's not there yet though. Struve. I'm happy for him. The kid is still so young. I did want Stevenson & Hazelett to win. Oh well, As long as GSP won on this card, I have to say, Nothing else mattered to me!!!!!!
I think Dana mentioned possibly a Shields/GSP matchup maybe next. And as for finishing, I agree to some degree. But realistically who other an Shields is even close to GSP? A dominant 50-45 is as good for keeping the belt as is a TKO. While finishing is more spectacular for the fans the end result is the same as a 50-45. Although GSP admitted in the post fight that he didn't reach his goal of taking Kos out so perhaps he'll work on that. How dumb is the UFC for giving FOTN award voting to the fans in Montreal for a GSP fight? Duh! That was a pretty boneheaded move and it cost the UFC a few extra grand. And how bout Overeem taking out in one night Spong, Saki and Peter Aerts(who surprised by taking out Semmy Schilt) to take the K-1 championship? Gotta wholeheartedly disagree with Dana that AO shouldn't be ranked in the top 10 in MMA because he's a K-1 champ. Is he trying to say that the UFC has 10 HW's that are or should be ranked better than AO? That's a ridiculous notion IMHO.
Yeah, I think the winner of Shields/Kampmann was promised the next title shot. IMO, this will be GSP's biggest test yet, at least since Penn/GSP 1........Shields is no joke. He looked like crap against Kampmann, but only because of such a hard time making weight. You can bet GSP will want to keep this one on his feet, and we'll be seeing a lot more of that jab. Too bad we don't get to see too many kicks against solid grapplers........nothing like a high kick KO! I loved GSP against Hughes 2........beautiful mix of punches and kicks.
