I just watched a video where Dana White is on the beach with BJ and Ariel and Koscheck, and Josh tells Dana that he hasn't even been able to run or workout yet.
GSP did a number to his face, I have no idea how the doctor allowed that fight to continue, it was obvious Koscheck was just trying to survive and protect his face after round 2.
I'm a big fan, met him when I lived in San Jose and he was cool as hell to my friends and I.
So any news on when he's back? Who should he fight next?
I'm all for Koscheck/Ellenberger or Koscheck/Penn
Say what you will about his attitude and Fro, but he's a very dangerous guy at 170
I don't think many people are lining up to fight him or calling him out.
He can outwrestle pretty much anyone at welterweight and if he lands on your chin, you are in a lot of trouble.I would LOVE it if he could welcome Nick Diaz back to the UFC, but that's unrealistic.
On a slightly related note whats up with Swick, Ettim, Herring, and Michael Johnson?

Re: Josh Koscheck: When will he be back? And who should he f
he got a big asswhooped in that fight, definity the doctor didnt do his job on that fight and now kosh is paying the consequences i cant see him figthing until the end of this year in the final quarter at the early´s because GSP make alof of damage to his face, it was a total damage so definity he needs alot of time to heel all those hits that he received from that match

Koscheck and BJ.... Or Diaz if he somehow makes it over to the UFC within the year.

Yeah, I've seen fights stopped for much less, I think he was in the hospital for a while with the surgeries and all.

Josh is the only one to blame for that fight continuing. imo
GSP said it best "not for a long long time"

Don't really think beat Hughes, Serra, or Paulo do much for him.
Hathaway would be entertaining, Penn, Pyle make sense, Rocha just lost

Depending on how Sanchez is healing they could do Sanchez vs Koscheck II

If GSP beats Shields, have Shields and Koscheck fight.

Ya especially with many of the top WWs already booked I think this makes the most sense. It just all depends on both fighters timeline

Re: Josh Koscheck: When will he be back? And who should he f
Well since that fight he has victories over Swick and Volkman and got his a** kicked by Fitch, Kampman, Diego.
2 fight losing streak, not even top ten.
Koscheck ran through Trigg, strangled Johnson, and beat Daley and lost to GSP
Paulos about to get cut and Kos just fought for a title.
Nice ko but if they fought again Koscheck would wreck hi

Re: Josh Koscheck: When will he be back? And who should he f
By the time he gets back you dont know who is going to be available, and who is goin to be in what weight division.
I like Koschecks chances against anyone in the division except GSP
I think he should fight Thiago to avenge his loss, or fight Diego as far as rematches.
Nate Marquart vs Josh Koscheck would be the fight I want to see. Very similar fighters and that always makes for a good show down.

Re: Josh Koscheck: When will he be back? And who should he f
He's still not able / allowed to workout? The title-fight should've been stopped, it was a complete shutdown and pretty serious for a professional fighter not being able to do his job for such a long time.
He should probably fight BJ or Diego, I could see both fights going both ways.

The athletic commision puts fighters on suspension if injured if they are found being active in mma, they will get fined or further suspended.
