I really like Koscheck. I thought he could even be in with a shot against GSP but after his three round nap on top of Daley I don't think so. Still should be a good season of TUF.

December!? It's MFin July!

No more champs on TUF. Put loudmouth non-contenders or HOFers on it. Chuck vs Tito was perfect.

Wow.

If I gambled, I'd so bet you on that.

George will continue his domination of everyone and everything in his path until they finally work out a way for him to fight Spider Silva.

Nam Phan is the only real "name", but he should be at 145. Mike Budnik fought on some WEC cards.

I'm pretty sure Jonathan Brookins fought in the WEC a few times, also at 145.

Kos is getting destroyed. What advantage does he really have over GSP? Athleticism and wrestling? No they are pretty much equal in those two but in everything else GSP is better.

I think Kos poses a serious threat to GSP. He can match his wrestling and athleticism and has an advantage in the stand-up IMO. If Kos can keep the fight in it's feet, he certainly can KO GSP.

Well said, I agree . Kos FTW !

Kos isn't a wrestler anymore, or at least he doesn't want to be. He's only used his wrestling recently when Rumble's power scared the **** out of him. Ever since he knocked out Yoshida, he's content with trading punches. I'm sure he can fall back on his wrestling against most, but GSP is a much better wrestler than Kos is now. We have to remember that Kos hasn't competed in wrestling competitions in many years. I still think he has a chance because he is very well-rounded and has fight-ending power.

Kos showed in his last 2 fights (Rumble and Daley) that he has a renewed commitment to his wrestling. If he can keep from being taken down by GSP, his power and GSP's average at best chin could have all the makings of an upset.

Explain which fights, besides the Serra fight, that have shown he has an average chin.

Kos has zero chance in this fight.
