Seriously, even in a decisive defeat, the guy impressed the hell out of me. He is clearly skilled both on the feet and on the ground, and he put up a good fight despite the fact that Koscheck is a complete fucking monster and a horrible matchup for him. I hope they bring him back and give him an easier opponent, maybe someone like Alessio or Alves.
RESPECT
Give him Fitch so he can avenge his shit
Very well rounded. Bell might have saved Josh from two triangles.
I was impressed by Joslin and Fickett too despite their losses.

KKM, what in the holy fuck did that rant about the media have to do with Jeff Joslin?
Respect indeed!
I would love to see him back again, perhaps against Nick Diaz or someone else that likes to bang.
Respect......
It would be nice to see Jeff fight someone that is actually there to advance position. I would love to see him fight Fickett or Diaz.
I think he did very well for his first fight. He hasn't had as much time in a cage as most UFC fighters and most of the fight was near the cage while on the ground.
I don't think there are too many guys in the division that would have been able to withstand being on the bottom against Kos. Jeff's guard was very active and I believe he would have swept Kos if they weren't up against the cage.
Mad respect to Joslin.
much respect to Joslin...
Joslin v. Burkman would be a great fight.
I was very impressed with this guy. Koscheck has a tough style to deal with and Joslin almost finished it on the ground.
Quality win for Koscheck.
I think Kos tried to advance position at first. Joslin just had better JuiJitsu than him.

"Very well rounded. Bell might have saved Josh from two triangles."
While I agree that Joslin looked very good, Kosh was never in any danger from a triangle. He looked at the clock when Joslin started to set it up, realized there was not nearly enough time for Joslin to finish and didn't bother to defend (because he didn't have to).
Joslin is obviously the more rounded fighter, Kosh is obviously the better fighter... especially when it comes to understanding the Unified Rules of MMA.
Fickett and Joslin get mad respect for those fights.
I would have liked to see them both succeed.
Joslin !!!!!
Joslin was very impressive in his fight. After Kos got hit a coupel of times and realized that he couldn't stand with him, he just took him down and laid there. How many times did Herb stand them up? Seriously.
Good fight Joslin. Go Canada!
Great skills displayed by Joslin....he tried to finish...not sure if Koschek tried to finish or wait out a decision....Joslin was definetly the more exciting fighter
Great guy too!! Runs a great gym.
Very impressive, indeed. I look forward to seeing him fight again!
Awesome fighter!
Joslin lookeed very well rounded, and was the superior striker. He had an active guard despite all the whining about him "hanging on for dear life" against Koscheck. He was working for sweeps, submissions, and was very slick about moving into guard from bad positions. I really hope to see more of him - koscheck was a really bad match up for him.
