Jeff Joslin prior to his fight with Koscheck.

He's a bada$$ for sure, I'm sure the UFC will bring him back sometime soon. I Didn't know he was a Pan-Am champ... his butterfly work was amazing.
 
cool interview, hope to see more from Joslin in the near future, talented guy.
 
man i have been a joslin fan since i saw hime fight in apex against fitch where he got screwed. the guy is very talented and i hope he does well at 170.
 
so rory, it seems as tho you were one of jeff's main training partners for this fight, especially with his wrestling...what do you think went wrong in the fight??...did you under estimate kos' wrestling abilities??...i read in an interview with jeff that the coach at guelph said that his guys were on the level of kos at wrestling, do you still believe that??...do you think that it was more kos' wrestling technique, or was he just much stronger than joslin??...this isnt knocking you or joslin (i am a fan) by any means, i am just curious about what you thought about the fight and how it went down
 
Nice. Joslin is cool. He is samurai.

I say Rorster, you are better. I shitteth thee nay. I think you will smoke. Serious. Just get mean. Wrestling mean is different I think than fighting mean. That means 'eyeball'.:icon_lol: Ultra-conservative till spot.(play your game and not what you learned)

Jeff, who will win in ufc plenty is not really anything to you, as far as aim, thats for sure. Just fight smart rite now imo, and don't fight anyone that cant do u better yet. I'm sure you'll win well. Lets see a throw anyway.:D

Well to tell you the truth, I don't know if anything went wrong. Kos outwrestled Jeff. Jeff has only been wrestling for a relatively short period of time, and he gets better litteraly everytime he steps on the mat. Koscheck is just a phenomenal wrestler.

I do believe the level of wrestlers at Guelph is at least equal to Kos, if not better. We're talking guys that are number 1 in Canada, and top 10 in the world.

Jeff made a few small mistakes in his TD defence, but against a guy as good as Kos, thats all it takes. Watch Jeff's wrestling against anyone else in the division, you'll see how good he is.

are they top 10 in freestyle or grecco??...personally for mma i think that folkstyle is better for mma due to the great ground control (i dont know how kos didnt get swept in that first round, his base is unbelievable) and the emphasis on shots more than throws (shots seem to be the more prevalent than greco style throws in mma)...what do you think about this assesment??...i personally think if jeff was training with folkstyle guys it might be more beneficial just because that is what a majority of the wrestlers in the ufc are using...once again, no offense to you or your team, this is just how it seems to me...also i know jeff has great td defense, and i think he would stuff everyone's takedowns in the ww division other than hughes, gsp, and koscheck...how he stuffed fitch's takedowns was a thing of beauty, but it just shows kos is on another level of wrestling

Freestyle, all the good guys in Canada are pretty much freestlyle guys with some exceptions.

I've heared the same thing about folkstyle wrestling, but I don't have much experience with it. The US and A is the only place in the world that does it, so unless Jeff moves to America he's going to be training with freestyle guys.

That being said, takedowns are takedowns. Every single take down or take down defence that exists in freestyle is also in folkstlye, and vice versa. Freestyle is almost all leg attacks, just like folkstyle.

And Jeff has been doing wrestling for less than a year. Wait until he is more comfortable with wrestling, and he'll be an absolute killer.

His defence against Fitch was mostly instinct. He's a freak. Great training partner though.
 
Nice to hear all these positive things about Jeff. He truly is a nice guy and I hope to see him fight again soon
 
That fight was great ! WAR JOSLIN...I can't wait to see him fight again.
