Koscheck looking to move to middleweight

After getting beat by GSP for the second time, it appears Koscheck is looking to bounce to the middleweight division. Thoughts on Kos at 185? Full Story

 Give him Anderson immediately so he can break his other orbital and be out of mind for another year.

GSP must've knocked some sense OUT of him. Phone Post

 lotta guys change weights when they lose their title shot

not wise IMO. Koscheck is top 5 at WW, likely top 3

 good move, imo.

Chael vs Koscheck and hope for a double KO

MonsterBalls - Kos's style may help him more against Anderson than it did against GSP.


 Kos couldn't get Thiago Alves to the floor...he's not getting Andy there.

Why not go down to 55? Phone Post

Probably doesn't wanna end up having to fight Fitch one day. Phone Post

155 would make more sense, but this is koschek after all..

 I was just thinking the other day how I would love to see Leben/Koschek again. I am pretty sure they still hate each other.

Could be interesting... Phone Post

LOL! Anderson has some of the worst takedown defense out of any "elite" fighter in the history of the sport.
No worse than Thiago Alves and he's much bigger.



Kos alway thinks he's a good striker.



And our third secret...Kos' MMA wrestling is mediocre at best.

 


hes way too short

He could make 145 by cutting off his fro.

Mike Swick just tweeted Koscheck wants to move to 185 for "one special fight." I would imagine he's alluding to Chris Leben? If that's what they are pushing for, does that bout benefit the "Crippler" in regards to middleweight positioning?



Swick said stay tuned to Kos' Twitter for updates...

 Would love to see this fight; it's been a long time coming for all of the stupid antics and pranks from Kosheck on the Ultimate fighter.  Leben would destroy KOS.

 You might wanna look up his takedown defense stats.....

Not the worst move. Its interesting to see when guys move down in weight and they lose something that makes them good at the original weight. An example is Mike Swick and Marcus Davis losing the speed advantage they had when fighting and 185 and 170 respectively. Kos will be one of the few to do this type of move upward and not because of size limits.

Kos must think his speed will be much better at 185 and the power of guys in middleweight division will not be overwhelming.
