UFC President Dana White is no fan of Josh Koscheck
Posted on May 12, 2010, 06:00 PM by Daniel CassidyJosh Koscheck, what a guy! But, it looks like the Welterweight is still struggling to become one of the most popular fighters in the UFC. Promotion’s president Dana White has recently discussed the embarrassing incident at UFC 113, revealing his thoughts about the current #1 Contender for the UFC Welterweight Title:
"I’m no Josh Koscheck fan. Personally, I think he’s [expletive]. We actually don’t get along very well. I like Paul Daley a lot, but what he did was inexcusable. He walked over to Koscheck and Koscheck could have thought he was coming over to shake hands or congratulate him and he took a cheap shot at him like that.
If you throw a sucker punch like that after a fight in the UFC, I don’t care who you are, you’re done. He’ll never fight for us again. I cut Nick Diaz after he was fighting [Joe Riggs] at the hospital. People are sick and dying and you can’t be in the hospital fighting. I cut the guy even though I know he’s a very good fighter."
Koscheck will next be in action against Pound for Pound King Georges St. Pierre once both have completed coaching at the 12th season of the popular Ultimate Fighter Show.

Kos is a fag, I hope Nick Diaz comes back to the UFC, he's too good to be fighting in Strikeforce
who cares what type of person he is outside the cage
nick diaz sucks
tru dat!!! so is paul daley.
hes a fag inside the cage too, with all the fake acting he does
I agree. Unfortunately, he's going to have to pull out all the acting and illegal strikes if he wants to compete with GSP. Its the only chance he's got!
He doesn't compare to GSP in any aspect of MMA.
agreed, lets just be glad daley didn't somehow win, because daley doesn't compare to kos in any aspect of MMA, so how lob sided of a match would that have been, it would've been a hardy repeat, we should be glad because GSP is facing an actual contender, not a overhyped british clown (next thing you know bisping will be dropping to welterweight for a title shot at GSP)
you are a ****. paul daley is the best striker in the ww division. kos struggled to take him down. he is 5 years younger than kos and would kill him in a year or two.
Actually, he compares well to GSP. He is a mini-GSP. Everything that GSP does 10/10 Koscheck does 7/10. He compares....he just doesn't compare well.
Oooh. I'd like to edit that one.
but hes only half as good as gsp.. so whats the point really?
I couldnt agree more. I would love to see Nick Diaz back in the octagon. Effective striking, amazing BJJ, solid chin, and cardio for days ! now if he could just work on his wrestling defense and more importantly his interview skills.
Raze excellent analysis man I agree with you. I personally think koscheck would either beat him by takedowns and ground control or get his ****y ass beat by ko or sub. Gsp has way better takedowns and his head movements is way better then diaz. but I think diaz will win if he pressures gsp
I agree Diaz is a very good fighter and I would love to see him back too, but it will most likely never happen because of what he did.
wow JOSH is real And he will destroy Nick
Just like he did paul
KOs UP
lmao... koscheck is a douche bag. Hes good but...hes a ****.
i know hes upset cuz the penguins lost!
funny way to destroy someone.....sit on them for 15 mins. kos couldent even finish him on the ground. kos is weak
Nick Diaz is a really good fighter, but unfortunately he doesn't get it yet. KOS is just one of those guys you just love to see getting KTFOed. Overall he is a little ****head.
wow, i believe i read those exact words from Dana White about Nick Diaz, that he "doesn't get it" (which was likely about his random, random drug test failures for marijuana)
its really sad to see so many people literally have their thoughts "given" to them by propaganda.
shut up.
SOURCE?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Why the **** would Dana White say that when Koscheck's next fight is a main event... not exactly a great promotion. Maybe you made it up.

Koscheck's personality doesn't make him a likeable guy............ But his wins in the octagon do make him somebody to look out for. He's beaten Rumble Johnson and now Daley so he's definitely improving his skills as a fighter. However it doesn't matter how much he improves, GSP is way to well rounded for him to stand a chance.
Ive said it before, you should always cite your source when you post news. I would like to know the source for this as well.
ok there lois lane.. didnt he cite yahoo sports ? and the writer for them obviously has one.. maybe you should take it up with them, not the guy who's posting it here for us, so we dont have to run around doing all the leg work..
He added it afterwords dipshit.
Why dont you look at the time of the post? Or were u just so excited to use your corny Louis Lane joke?
I can't believe he admitted Diaz is a good fighter! Damn I can't slam Dana for that.
Why? because is a good fighter?
It must be becuz Nate is a lightweight that TKOed Rory ,a welterweight that didnt even make weight for the fight, in the first round. Yeah thats a great reason to cut him. STFU.
One of the reason I like Dana is that he doesn't put out the same bland spin you see from most people in the press.
He even called Kos a "****" at the post fight press conference.
He may be a bit of **** himself, but whatever else you say about the guy, he says what's on his mind, which is a rare thing these days.
Not in Massachusetts. There is a reason we are referred to as Massholes.
Ok I dont blame you DanC454, but I still dont trust the source. Only because for instance the writer says "Or just magnified because MMA is an industry already pegged as "unnecessarily violent" by mainstream haters?" Someone who uses street slang like "haters" in their articles isnt very professional to begin with. I mean I use the term casually, but wouldnt use it in an article I was writing. I guess it just doesnt seem logical for Dana White to take away from Koscheck right now, but anything is possible I guess.
that was just one source, yahoo sports got the original quote
Damn, well Dana White isnt always the brightest crayon in the box. What a tool for taking away from Koscheck, especially with him being the #1 contender. I thought he was smarter than that as a business man.
Diaz is a mid-level fighter, not a contender. Koscheck would stroll through his light punches, and his wrestling would negate Nick's JJ. The Diaz brothers land a lot of punches, but there isn't much on them.
Sean Sherk, Diego Sanchez, Joe Riggs, Karo... All beat him.
i agree good comment stoneyponey
I don´t that was years ago, and all those were great fights, he is a better fighter now.
diaz brother are overated...Nick is truely a turd...Nate has alot more smarts. I am glad dana white cut Nick
nate has more smarts.. that's saying a lot, he sounds a lot like he should be counting cards or something... 196 toothpicks nick, 196 toothpicks man
i grew up with the Diaz brothers. when we weren't riding our bikes or fighting we were always playing scrabble, yelling out answers to jeopardy, trying to outplay each other on the piano. don't let them fool you. smart guys....very smart
**** You Koscheck Montreal canadians eliminated pittsburg and GSP is going to break you inside the octogon
F u c k You Koscheck Montreal canadians eliminated pittsburg and GSP is going to break you inside the octogon
I have never been a fan of Koscheck since TUF 1, when him and Southworth were acting like ****s towards Leben, apart from that the guy is just generally an arsehole and he really needs to cut them oscar winning performances out because it's getting stupid now, almost every fight, he's also losing a lot of credibility over it. Got to say though i was suprised by his attitude though on the MMA live after show after the event, even going as far as to say he thought they should give Daley another chance, wether or not it was genuine only he knows, personally, i doubt it.......
Finally Dana you said somethen i could agree with...THANK GOD!!!
But what dana didnt mention, after he allegedly cut nick after the riggs fight, nicks fought 3 more time in the ufc, and he left on a 2 fight win streak....and to u douchers that like rattling off his losses in the ufc, he was fighting some big names and all good close fights at the age of 20-23 yrs old...and one thing about the diaz bros, youve never seen them get there asses whooped or knocked out
I agree. I am a fan of the Diaz brothers also, especially Nate. They are both very good but still "young" acting, especially Nick. He just needs to control the temper sometimes. You hear a lot about their punching style being ineffective but I disagree. The light jabs that they constantly throw are done that way on purpose, to set up the other hand, annoy, and distract. Look at how hard Nate was throwing in his last fight against Markham, pretty effective I would say. Their BJJ is top rate, no question about it.
i like kos, hes one of my favorite fighters but hes gonna have to do a lot of acting to get by GSP
If you are expecting GSP to KTFO Kosh, it WON'T HAPPEN.
GSP does not have Knockout power. However, I hope he beats the shit out of Kosh...
Regardless of the source of the article or whether or not it is completely legit it does not surprise me that he made the comment about Kos. White has never mixed words about how he feels about fighters personally. He even basically said Josh was a **** at the post fight press conference, and Josh is a ****, but he is also a very good fighter and will give GSP a run for his money this time around.
His hair looks like the abonable snowman's pubic hair
kos is a better wrestler, he has better tko power, conditioning will go to gsp... if anyone can beat gsp it will be kos, not saying he will but hes the one that will have a shot
