I don't even understand how people can give Koscheck a chance. No, I'm not undermining his abilities, but seriously. Let's take a look at the past few fights of both GSP and Koscheck.
GSP defeated Koscheck, Matt Hughes, then Matt Serra. Then... he defeated Jon Fitch who was killing everybody in the welterweight devision. BJ penn, one of the sport's top lightweight and a relentless fighter even at the welterweight division looked like a dummy infront of GSP. Then Thiago Alves, a guy bigger, faster and stronger than GSP came to fight him and GSP took him down without efforts to get a decision victory after having ripped his crotch. Dan Hardy, a REAL Knockout artist, unlike Koscheck as the video you posted the other time said, couldn't even make GSP flinch.
Now let's look at Koscheck.After losing to GSP he fought Dustin Hazlett, whom he defeated with a TKO victory and Chris Lytle, whom he defeated via unanimous decision. Of course, you can clearly see what's going on here, these fighters Koscheck fought are REALLY not top level contenders. After these two, Koscheck fought Thiago Alves where he lost against him, without having his crotch ripped. He then had a victory over yoshida, who in my opinion is one of the worst welterweight fighters to ever fight in the UFC. Then he lost against Paulo Thiago by KO! Paulo Thiago? He can't punch for shit! Yes, he's awesome on the ground but he can't strike for shit! Then who did he fight against? Frank Trigg? he was good, but now he sucks. And he also had to fake getting hit with a knee to the head while on the ground. Then who was next? Anthony Johnson? Please, don't compare Anthony Johnson to Matt Hughes, BJ Penn or Jon Fitch, who GSP was able to FINISH them all. And who was the last one? Paul Daley? Hahaha..
As you can see, GSP has been fighting top level contenders and make them look bad, while Koscheck's only way to look half impressive is by fighting people that simply aren't that great, compared to top level contenders in the division.
Its horrible writing come from an obvious bias...
