Why no takedowns from Kos?

Because he couldnt.

One successful take down does not translate into the ability to take down a wrestler like GSP at will.

He had no depth perception with only one eye.

He was looking for that overhand right to land. Phone Post

 the eye and he was getting battered standing!

Shouldve motorboated. Phone Post

 worst fucking strategy ever that was his only shot take Gsp down and pound him he succeeded in the first but ran out of time . so why doesn't he try again until the 4th round? by then he was so beaten down and so far behind on the score cards that it didn't matter he wasn't gonna stop gsp at that point. either Kos is the stupidest fighter ever or his camp trained the entirely wrong strategy.

koscheck could have come into the octagon with an xbox and UFC undisputed on the jumbo tron and done better than he did in the fight.

orcus - He's 1-1 on his takedowns and he's getting eaten alive standing. Why isn't he trying for more TDs?


BEcause Take downs are not free throws? He was getting telephone poled with that jab, and the Take down he got he had to fight for. Can only have so much energy going into a fight, and his whole strategy was to "stand", got beaten up, and after a while, doesnt matter what he wants to do, he simply cant do it any more.

To quote The Voice from the K1 World Grand Prix Final: "Because he has taken more hits than Miley Cyrus bong".

If you can't slip the jab you're not getting the takedown. As footwork and jabbing improves this Truth will be beat into the collective consciousness of the MMA mind. GSP improved both his jab and his footwork enough Josh couldn't slip the jab. I was wondering why he fought off GSP's takedowns, he wanted to go to the ground but when GSP wanted to go there he fought it off, poor fight strategy from his corner IMHO. I think he might of been better "letting" GSP take him down, he had some chance on the ground

he knew he had a .001 percent change of winning and that would be by fluke ko,thats why

Kos did not attempt any takedown attempts because he could not get his striking to work. If GSP doesn't fear your striking, he will easily stuff your takedown. 

His left leg must be pulp today.

Depth perception. He got stuffed trying to shoot from like six feet out a couple times. His corner also was telling him to stand until about 30 seconds left in the third and by hen it was too late. Phone Post
