Josh Koscheck vs Anthony Johnson

[Mal Intentions]

this is one of the best non talked about fights ever. Anthony Johnson was in the middle of a three fight win streak consisting of all knockouts and was easily one of the most feared and turned down fighters on the roster. Koscheck stood in the pocket with him most of the fight and traded bombs, weathered the storm, grinded Anthony out and finished him. That performance alone made me a lifelong fan of Koscheck. that fight has got to be one of the most epic and gutsiest performances of all time IMO. thoughts??

Still crazy to think about. Something more interesting is that Rumble is 0-3 against AKA all being finished by RNC. Him vs GSP at 170 would have been interesting

GSP would've easily wrecked Rumble at 170 or 185

Hell, if he could survive the first 7 minutes he could finish Rumble at 205

Didn't Rumble also fight Dan Hardy when he was at WW?

Just blows my mind that this dude has fought those guys and Andrei Arlovski at HW.

Prime Kos was one of the most dangerous WW ever.


He really fck Dana's plan when he won Vs Diego when Sanchez was 17-0.

Also Wins over
Menne
Trigg
Lytle
Hughes
Rumble
Daley

Sad he ended is career on a 6 fights losing Streak...

 

[knock_you_out]

That was Koscheck's best win.

 

[DeformedGravy]

Crazier still is how Rumble can fight from 165 to 265 and only lose to RNCs.

Dudes chin must be so solid it makes it easy to lock on to his neck.

Rumble was MMA best shot at a legit triple champ

Dangerous ever? Ehhhh...

He was pretty damn good. Great wrestling. Big power for WW. He was easily #2 guy at WW and probably would’ve defended multiple times had GSP not been around.

[Baltimore Bro]

Josh didn’t fight Rumble Johnson he fought the skeleton remains of Rumble......all jokes aside Rumble had no business fighting in that weight class and looked half dead trying to make weight

 

[Sonny Qc]

Dangerous ever? Ehhhh...

A strong wrestler with KO power and Cardio for Days ?

He would be avoided AF today.

Except he got outclassed by Alves & Ko’ed By Thiago
