Just watched the Kos/Joslin fight again and im not here to argue the decision but he's got the standup and the jits much like Nick Diaz with the lanky height/reach to go with it.
In fact, that would be a cool matchup.
Joslin's leg kicks were very smooth and quick on Kos and his guard was good too. It was a close fight vs. Kos and Kos has shown himself to be one of the top UFC WW guys and that was Joslin's UFC debut.
Its not like the UFC WW div lack talent and depth (its dam sick at this state) but a guy of Joslin's caliber should def be brought back imo.
Well, cool and should be a good fight, i dont see why Lytle should be counted out though, hes very well rounded himself, has good, technical hands and I doubt Joslin can impose himself on the ground like Lytle.
I would not have been upset if Joslin had gotten the decision over Kos. He ate him up on the feet (what little there was of standing action before those sick takedowns) and was very aggressive on the ground. Kos landed a couple elbows over the course of the fight that made Joslin bleed, and that's about it.
"I dont see anyone saying Joslin's gonna tear thru the division but he did better vs. Kos than the highly touted Diego."
The Joslin nuthuggers made the Penn huggers look sane before his last fight. At one point the guy had not fought in 2 years and there were a bunch of threads complaining about him not getting a shot in the UFC.
