FWIW I never really felt one way or the other about him other than he was obviously a talented fighter. After watching him coach on TUF this season and seeing the way he carries himself and treats other people, I became very impressed with him.
For me, if there is some kind of patriotism card to be played, it's that I am embarrassed that koscheck can't seem to act any other way than as a 12 year old douchebag.

That sums up my feelings on the subject as well. I don't think much of Koscheck.

Re: UFC 124
After reading the previous 3 post it makes me wish I couldhave caught this season of TUF. I guess you could say I was neutral in this fight since I dont like either of the two fighters.
Oh and I guess I dont have to try and catch the fight on AFN now since I allready know who won. Was it even close?

Re: UFC 124
No it was not close. GSP dominated the entire fight. Most of the fight was standing and exchanges (Kos of course being on the receiving end). He did a good job of stuffing GSP's takedowns but he could not defend from the jab. I think that was the most landed jabs in an mma match that Ive ever seen. I know some are not impressed with the fight but I thought it was pretty entertaining. I don't really like either fighter very much, but my respect goes out to GSP. He really is a well rounded fighter that pound for pound is among (if not) the best in the world.

If you do ever watch the last season of TUF you will be hard pressed to not come away with a healthy respect of GSP and a desire to not even piss on Koscheck should he catch fire.

Koscheck took a pounding very early over & into his right eye and it was swollen shut - the ref. offered to call the fight over the eye & Koscheck declined.
I would hazard a strong bet on an orbital rim fracture (or two). Unfortunately, the bone density around the eye & temple are the weakest of the skull.

Re: UFC 124
I am all for the USA stuff but I also have to respect a Man for being a Man.
Never in his career have I witnessed a negative point of view from GSP, in wins or losses. He takes the responsibility for his losses and always compliments his opponent when the smoke clears.
That is a quality not often found in sports these days.
He appears to be the kind of man I would want my son to train under, that puts me in his corner.

Re: UFC 124
I was impressed as hell with Stefan Struve. I've always thought he was severely handicapped in this sport (the Manute Bol of MMA) but he won last night on a slicker'n whale shit technical move.
GSP took away the only weapon of Koscheck's he had to fear, then administered four rounds of additional humiliation. It was GSP's way of making Josh's jaybird ass make good on the checks his alligator mouth had been writing.
Koscheck tweets:
In Boston 2have my Broken orbital bone fixed. Then home 2 recover & spend some x with family. I want to say thx's 4 all the love last night!
http://twitter.com/JoshKoscheck
It also appears he's trying to suck up to Tito Ortiz's ol' lady so he might be in for another ass-whuppin'.

Go back and watch how gsp whined like a bitch about how serra just got a lucky punch and that is all it was. And if you think Kos is like that in really life i have some land to sell. Fuck after the fight gsp even said it was to hype the fight.

Exactly what is real life. Its funny that you make that argument when it is painfully obvious that the emt owned his ass with just a couple of comments. And that doesn't even address how Cody schooled his ass time and again in the verbal jousting department. In every exchange it was amazing evident that in a battle of wits "Kos" is simply unarmed.
So let's assume all his immature bullshit was to hype the fight.....fine. I still have no respect for someone who plays the game that way. I am much more impressed with those fighters who train hard, carry themselves professionally, and let crushed orbits do their shit talking.
He is an insecure shit and was all but worthless as a coach.

Re: UFC 124
That was another crap-tastic GSP fight... only this time he didnt just lean on his opponent like normal he just jabbed... guess it worked so use it but I thought I was watching MMA not boxing?
Not that I like Kos but he did do all that just to hype the fight up! Tuf is just reality TV! They have to get the ratings and I am sure that was about 90 pct of it!
Congrats to GSP but he really needs to either move out of that class to fight others or just retire a champ.

Re: UFC 124
Interesting that GSP walked through Josh in the first one via wrestling which was supposed to be Josh's stong point. This time it was jabs. Josh was a bit more prepared for GSPs wrestling, still GSP won rather handily with two completely different styles.

Do you know how fucking boring it would have been with another robot like gsp coaching aginst him. i am sure dana told kos that before this even started he had to play the villian as gsp is boring as watching fucking paint dry. So now back to the gsp speedo nut hugging the only way that guy could finish a fight would be in some ones mouth.

Re: UFC 124
I suppose it makes for boring fights, watching one person win all the time. I hate to see anyone do really well at something they train hard for almost every day of the week. It's a shame.
After GSP lost to Matt Hughes, he was working on his armbar defense in the locker room. He wants to be the best fighter in the world, and at 29 years old with a professional record of 21-2, he just may be one of the top guys. He has avenged his only two losses decisively (I still get queasy thinking about Matt Serra's ribs), and nobody in his weight class or the classes around him could beat him technically. He has a great coach, whom he listens to, and plans his fights very strategically to win. And guess what? He does. He's also very respectful toward all his opponents, and that gains anyone my respect in many instances.
I don't consider myself a GSP "fanboy" but I do enjoy watching him fight. I've never seen a fighter who is as strategically and technically sound and well-rounded as GSP, and it's entertaining to watch him deconstruct his opponents with precision. He shot on Koscheck a few times and got stuffed, or Kos got straight back up. So GSP won with boxing. If he'd kept going for the takedowns, it would have been stupid. I suppose MMA should be all flying knees and spinning back-kicks.

Re: UFC 124
I will agree GSO did own him but I wasnt impressed. GSP could not close the fight. He had him beat all he had to do was TKO/KO him then I would have been impressed.
The only match I was impressed with was the Thiago fight. That was a fantastic showing.
