Prime Koscheck runs through today's division

[IIIIIIII]

"prime" koscheck is what the threadstarter said, but anyway, i generally agree, that even a prime koscheck would not be the best lol. i mean he'd do okay, and be somewhere in the middle of the pack, but definitely not champion.

gsp is allegedly gay. fully support him if he is
r u ?

GSP is free to live his life however he chooses as long as he doesn't break the laws. His personal life is his business, not your business or my business. It's a non-issue with me. I respect the fighter and I respect the person who is GSP.

His striking sucks

Its better than Matt Serra's

 

[TheSpider]

Lol

 

[guns&moses]

He couldn't box. He had no reliable kicking game. His GNP sucked.

He had a power double.

He gets thrashed by most WW these days.

 

[ryan3434]

again: stats irrelevant. condit knocked him down with the headkick and left GSP in a pool of his own blood.

pretty sure that blood you are thinking of is from CC Georges opened him up with an elbow to the dome

 

[ShinkanPo]

Damn thats bad Kos really gat flattened!

 

[bubbleboyjones]

that was a slip

 

[ThePatriot]

Sorry TC

To much evolution in this game marty is the new breed

 

[skylolow]

Never knew Koscheck posted on Sherdog.

 

[Krushey]

are you ok in the head?

Better than you, apparently.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

I agree. If Usman was defending his belt against the likes of Matt Serra or Dan Hardy I'd give him much more credit.

At least they were not ballooned up lightweights who couldn’t cut it in their division ( Burns, Masvidal, Rda).

TS must not have watched Kos in his prime. He was a great athlete, just not an elite fighter. Got our wrestled by GSP, and was a one trick pony on his feet. I think Usman jobs him to death, then gets a TKO late

 

[theTKDguy]

usman would jab him like gsp did. Burns would be a fun one

 

[r-harper-1]

Cringeworthy thread

 

[MyFavSport]

Kos got beat quite easily against Thiago Alves. And Kos was kind of a can crusher who always struggled against guys he didn't wrestlefuck. His ko victims Trigg, Hazelett, and Yoshida were guys who wouldn't be on today's roster either weren't good or they were way past it.

Prime Koscheck doesn't even make top 10 WW in today's UFC. Top-tier wrestling just like Usman and Colby, but his hands aren't near as good.

Not to mention that Woodley and Robbie showed what happens when they keep it standing.

Usman is supposed to be better than GSP? The guy isn't even better than Koscheck. Koscheck would clean out the entire division, he knocks out Usman, Burns, Colby and outwrestles Masvidal, Edwards and Wonderboy. Usmans striking sucks, it only looked good because Burns can't strike too

Eh. I definitely think he beats Masvidal. That’s a great matchup for him (and his boy Fitch). Colby would be a great fight. Colby busier, Koscheck more power. RDA took Colby down but that could’ve been because Colby wasn’t worried about it. Have to think the Kos blast double could get it done. Usman is a beast, and I think if it’s the version we just saw Kos is gonna eat a lot of straight punches.

Koscheck struggled with Dustin Hazelett in the 1st and was finished by Paulo Thiago.

He's not running through anyone in the current top 10.

Disagree. He was deep into his career when he got caught against Lawler and Woodley back to back. He didn’t have much left after GSP beat the crap out of him. After that he KO’d a past-it Hughes and then had close split decisions against grinders (Piece and Hendricks), then never won again.

Koscheck had a lot of very impressive performances though, both wrestling and KOs.

Wouldn’t shock me if good strikers could rip leg kicks and beat him that way (maybe if we give him six months of modern training it’s different) but I think he smothers Magny for 15 minutes and lands bombs on Chiesa. Takedowns will likely be there against Masvidal too. Leon depends on the success of the takedowns.
