Koscheck Responds To Daley's Insults
Posted on May 1, 2010, 12:40 PM by Daniel CassidyWith only 1 week to the day until the meet inside the cage, Josh Kescheck has taken time out to respond to the mountain of both criticism and abuse heaped upon him by his opponent at UFC 113.
Speaking to UFC.com, Koscheck had this to say:
“By the time you read this, it will be one more week until my fight with Paul Daley at UFC 113. This past week, I pretty much focused on making sure I got no cuts or injuries, and I worked my cardio hard, because the other hard work is pretty much done.There’s not much you can do in the last week of training, so I just pace myself, try to be safe, and work on every area that needs to be worked on. I touch everything up and make it all come together so that come fight time, I know that I’ve done everything, I’m prepared and it’s time to go have some fun.”
“May 8th is the payoff for all my hard work during this camp in more ways than one. Money’s a big motivation, and that’s one of the primary reasons why I fight. I have good skills and I love to win, but at the end of the day, it comes down to making that money and providing for myself and for my future, so I can just focus on training, getting better, and bringing new people in and paying them to help me become a champion. And everything I’ve been doing over the past couple years has been working up to this: getting some momentum to where I can put on a great show, win this fight, become the number one contender, fight for the title, and become the UFC welterweight champion by beating Georges St-Pierre.”
“I feel that my time is coming, and while I’ve been close a couple times to fighting a rematch with St-Pierre in the past, I haven’t gotten there yet. Things happen for a reason though, and when one door closes, another one opens. So now that I’m back here again, I believe that my time and my hard work will pay off.”
“Of course, with the fight getting closer, there are a lot more interviews and media obligations, and thank God I have Heidi (Seibert) and Zinkin Entertainment around me. They’re a great support system, and I have a lot of good people that back me up and really care about me. They make things a lot easier, and I’m very thankful for that, that’s for sure. But I enjoy doing interviews; it helps promote the sport and the fights, and I like to be a team player to the UFC and show them that I’m on their team. I want to get as many viewers as we possibly can to help grow this sport, and I just want to keep winning fights, putting on a good show, and choking people out.”
“In these interviews though, there are a lot of people speculating a lot of things out there and every one I’ve done, they’re saying ‘oh, you’re gonna be fighting St-Pierre next.’ But to be honest, I don’t look that far ahead. I believe that if I look past Paul Daley, I’m a fool, and by no means am I looking past him. My only focus is on Paul Daley and beating him. He’s been talking a lot of garbage and I like it. I like the fact that he’s so confident, and I like that he says that he’s ready to go, because that means that after I whip his ass, there are gonna be no excuses. And if he does make excuses, then we’re gonna see what kind of character he has and what type of person Paul Daley is.”
“And while every victory’s sweet for me, it’s gonna be an even sweeter victory over Paul Daley because like I said in my last blog, I’ve been through hell to get here. I’ve been through a war, I’ve had a lot of personal issues, I’ve had some injuries, I’ve won some fights, I’ve lost some fights, and I’ve made mistakes throughout my career, but it’s gonna be a sweet feeling to get a victory over Paul Daley.”
“The funny thing is, Paul Daley keeps saying ‘stand toe-to-toe with me.’ Well, how ‘bout we go out there and get in a wrestling stance? There’s a good chance of that. I’ve got 50 takedowns in me in 15 minutes, I can guarantee you that. And every time Paul Daley goes to bed at night, he’s gotta think “Oh $%^%, Josh Koscheck’s probably gonna take me down and throw me on my head.’ Every single time he throws a punch, he’s gonna have to worry about getting thrown on his head with a takedown, and that’s where I would be worried if I were Paul Daley.
“So if you’re a betting man, you better go to Vegas right now, and put money on Josh Koscheck because now that the guy has pissed me off, I can guarantee you that I’m gonna go in there and wrestle his ass down and rear naked choke him in round one. There you have it. I’ll probably beat him up a little bit before I choke him out, but in round one, he’s getting choked out. And that’s what he’s gonna have to sleep with over the next week – ‘How the hell am I gonna stop from getting taken down and put on my ass?’”
UFC 113 takes place 1 week tonight on May 8th in Quebec, and is headlined by the light heavyweight championship between Shogun and Machida.

Not a huge fan of Kos, but Im less of a fan of Daily's and his big mouth.
I agree 0. Atleast Kos has put his time in. Daley hasn't been with the UFC long enough to talk all that bs.
lol i hate kos anyone who fights him i want the other guy to win....so im going with daley on this one
lmao, I used to hate Kos, but when he let Tito have it on that radio show, I lightened up on him a bit. He comes off as a douche, but deep down, hes just young and getting smarter every year.
I like how everyone jumps on Daley for having a big mouth, look at his opponent though, he is ****y and big mouthed aswell. I hope Daley knocks Kos out
i cant wait for this its gettin beter and better i think kos will beat him and how i thought it would go down by choke i dunno if it will be the first round tho,kos is a smart fighter and will use his wrestling like i thought he would.......i cant wait till ufc 113 it going to be off the chain!!!!!!!!!!
Great words from Koscheck
screw Daley. Koscheck please shut his big ass mouth!
Personally I'd like to see Kos get KO of the night on this guy.
I hope Daley eats with words with a Kos sandwhich
I got a 20 on you Kos :)
Kos is the biggest a* hole in MMA and I hope he gets his face pounded in.
I dont know about that, NickD. can be a big a-hole as well, he practices daily.
Both of them well rounded,but Kos has more experience and skill than Daley and Kos wonna win
daley has more fights than kos
2 not interesting characters, but they deliver in a fight. i say Kos wins.
This should be a good one all in all. I am impartial to either fighter to be honest, but if I had to pick one I would go with Kos. On the other hand I am always interested in seeing new contenders as far as title contention and Kos has already lost once. Either way we should see a good fight and thats all that really matters throughout their 15 minutes.....
Kos makes the point of "if youre a betting man go to Vegas..." Does anyone know what the odds are on Daley / Koscheck?
How about this, they are both assholes!
I agree. At the moment most of the UFC seems to be talking about rematching to win a title - how many times do you need to lose to realise you don't have what it takes.
Koscheck blows hot and cold, walks through most chumps, gets his ass handed to him by real competition - a champ he will never be. Talking past his next fight is crazy - he gets lucky 50% of the time.
As far as Daley thinking about you when he goes to bed, i am sure that is exactly what he does, in a 1970's gay porn flick that plays through your mind at bedtime Kos. I doubt Daley does much thinking about you at all, you are the chump fight he needs to go through to get to the real deal.
What a tool. All that writing and he's still gonna get his ass kicked. No one cares idiot
Daley is like most of the well known Brit fighters out there. They are all lil snarky b*tches until they have their ass handed to them.
Koscheck will finish this b*tch in good order.
Kos has been talking shit about every opponent hes faced in the past 3 years. but no1 seems to say anything but as soon as a daley does it every1 hates him.. the thing is every1 hated kos at first but when a guy keeps knocking ppl out you all cant help jumping on the bang wagon. my guess is if daley knocks this annoying little ****er out in an awsome fashion in time you will all be on the daley bus. i allready am weather he is a ****y turd or not.
i saw the countdown show and when koscheck talks about daleys teethi never noticed paul daley had braces) daley got all butthurt it seemed as if he got embarrassed and started stumbling over himself XD and he had a crappy comeback afterwards
i dunno i thought it was pretty funny
im going for koscheck
i hope he knocks daley out to assure a title shot
i use to hate trash talkers but koscheck does it with style man. I hope he f*ckes Daleys coocky ass!
I agree with you & you still havent showed me your huge cleavage.
And they better not be man boobs! haha,,, just messin around.
I laughed pretty hard when Sheilds sunk a gillotine on Daley in the first 10 seconds of their fight and lost.
first 10 seconds it wont even in the first round u dumb ass. daley punched sheilds head in. semtex would win a remach.
Kos talking about how he's going for takedowns just makes it obvious he's going to try to stand and outstrike the striker and then if/when he gets knocked out he's going to Sherk the post-fight interview and say, "I think this proves that I can box." I actually like Kos but I'm worried that he's modeled his career after Hendo (former wrestler who prefers to live or die by the huge right hand) and the game has passed them both by.
yeah well kos is gunna die by a huge left hand hahahaha stupid ****
The closer the fight gets, the more it looks like Daley will be out matched by Kos. I'd like to see Daley Ko Josh but i don't think that's gonna happen.
kos gets very emotional like someone else i know
