Josh Koscheck twitter.
"Just thinking! That dude [Carlos Condit] should of took the fight with me on a week notice [because] if he HAD a chance 2 make it a close fight, it was then. NOW 0 chance."
Then KOS twitted that hell be fighting Feb 4.
As the WW division is looking, who do you think KOS should get next?

Who should he get? Someone with one win coming off a loss.
Who will he get? Condit.

Condit's standup is light years ahead of Paulo Thiago's. This will not end well for Kos regardless of prep time.

Condit's wrestling is suspect, and Koscheck has shown that he has no problem grappling a decision away from a dangerous striker.
Whether it's Fitch or Koscheck is irrelevant to Condit's chances of lossing due to his wrestling or lack thereof.

Anthony Johnson has much better striking than Thiago too and Josh stood with him for a good amount of time too.

True, Daley and Johnson. Which makes me think KOS can beat, Jake E, Carlos, or whoever in the WWD.

I don't think Josh has tried to grapple with someone who attacks the way Condit does on the ground though. His wrestling stands a good chance don't get me wrong, but Condit is a savage on his back. Daley and Rumble don't have that kind of submission game (only using them as examples since they are most recent.

He stood with him briefly after Rumble was poked in the eye. After that he took him down. But Condit has a very active guard is dangerous off his back. I think it's another high light reel KO for CC.

^^^
And that is why I like this fight. One way or another, if Condit takes on a solid wrestler the hype train ends along with his contendership.

Condit has been put on his back in more of his UFC fights & he's never faced a wrestler as good as Koscheck. He's good off his back, but not as good as Kos is on top.

So what people are saying is that even if KOS takes Carlos down, Carlos will win still off his back? Im sure KOS will dominate on top and its been awhile since KOS got sub.

Im saying if it goes to the ground It's closer than what people like you are thinking.

Still dont think its close enough to where KOS gets caught in a sub.

I'd like to see the rematch with Diego. I think the first match was the first time Diego had been in a boring fight, but next time hopefully he'll be 100% or close to it.

Didn't he talk about going up to 185 as well?
Honestly, i know Kampmann doesn't get much fanfare but he's the WW after the top 5 that seems like he could hold his own with any WWs.
I easily have him higher than Sanchez and Shields even with the losses.
I really want to know how Ebersole/MacDonald turns out, because that winner will take a significant leap in solidifying them in a top WW fight. I assume mostly think Rory will win, but either way, we get a super fast rising prospect or a super veteran out of that fight.

Agree with Kamp over Shields but not Deigo. I was going to put Ebersole/MacDonald in the poll but they fight in December and KOS said he wanted big fights.

Oddly enough i have Kampmann below Condit still.
I don't where Sanchez ranks. I was happy with him against Hughes. He's not going to make a title run. I can't think of any WWs i want to see him against. He's a pretty consistent FOTN fighter, kind of replacing Lytle in that department.
If it were my call he'd get the winner or Cerrone/Diaz

I thought Sanchez wasnt going to LW anymore? I think he can make a run for the WW title. Hes on a good run right now to start it off. Would love to see Sanchez fight for the WW title.

Either would be interesting but do you mean him moving down or one of them moving up?
