Josh Koschek wants Diaz, MacDonald, Maia, Ellenberger or a move to 185 when he returns in 2013
Posted on October 24, 2012, 07:09 PM by Andreas HaleJosh Koschek hasn't fought since back in May when he lost a split decision to Johny Hendricks. Although he was hoping to get back in the cage one more time before the end of the year, an injury sidelined him for a showdown with Jake Ellenberger at UFC 151 and it looks like he'll be on the shelf until next year.
"Doesn't look like the UFC has a fight for me until 2013. So I'll just train and get better," Koscheck said via Twitter.
Despite having to sit on the bench as the year closes with several cards, Koschek is already calling out names for fights he would like to have once he makes his return to the Octagon.
"I'd like to fight Nick Diaz, Demian Maia, Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, any of those will do it," Kos continued. As we've come to know, Koscheck will take on anybody the UFC puts in front of him. He certainly doesn't discriminate. But you have to believe that he wants to work his way back into the top of the division. The former #1 welterweight contender is a company man that will even bump up a weight class if the UFC needed him to.
"They know I'll fight anyone. I even said I'd fight at 185 if needed."
It'll be interesting to see who the UFC puts him up against next.

:D
I was really excited for the Koschek/Ellenberger fight when it was announced. Two great wrestlers with heavy hands. Then make Diaz vs Maia.
I agree, I was rotted when Kos got injured, I was really looking forward to that fight. I'd like to see Maia vs. Diaz, or Mia vs. Fitch. Maia has looked good at WW, but he hasnt fought anyone with great striking & great BJJ. Dare I even say it, Maia vs. BJ Penn after he gets owned by Rory would be interesting as well, but doubt it very muhc Penn sticks around after he gets embaressed AGAIN!
Fitch has very very underrated BJJ, his oponents have gone 0-25 in sub attempts, which is crazy impressive. I'd like to see what happens to Maia if/when his BJJ is "neutralized", what else does he have to offer? I really really want to see Rory vs. Condit 2, I think Condit would lose this time, b/c he sure as hell should have lost the 1st fight, but the ref gave Condit the fight, I mean 7 secs left?!? WTF?
The WW division is definitely the most stacked or the 2nd most stacked division in the UFC, the LW division is pretty sick as well.
You were "rotted"? Who are you, his stalker?
I think Fitch's wrestling is good enough that it would be his choice whether that fight would go to the ground. I also think he has better striking than Maia, so I think he would keep it standing and win via decision that way.
I'd love it if this turd were to get beat by Rory,simply would love it!!!
Maybe koscheck can fight george again so he can work on his other orbital bone
I like how lowkick always uses a douchebag pic of koscheck :P
If he goes to 185, I'd love to see him fight Leben again.
Whatever you say Kos, whatever you say.
