Josh Koscheck Vs. Johny Hendricks Set For UFC On Fox 3

#1 contender fight for Condit/Ellenberger winner?

This should be the main event and a 5 rounder IMO.

You'd have to think so, especially if Hendricks wins.

Well Condit/Ellenberger may fight GSP if the time frame works out. That would mean this winner might need another fight. Not sure who though.

Excellent fight.

Who R U Pickin?

I like Kos.

Hendricks should win this. Kos is old news for me. Still good enough to beat middle of the pack guys, but I don't think he's elite anymore.

Hendricks caught Fitch. Other than that he beat whom? Amir, Pierce, and Brenneman. He lost to Story. He's good and earned a #1 contender shot, but I'm not ready to call him elite.

Anybody with wrestling to stop takedowns and good striking I'm picking over the AKA welterweights at this point in time. I'll take Hendricks/Ellenberger over Fitch and Kos every time moving forward. I think Pierce should've definitely won the decision over Kos too and I wasn't even that impressed with his performance

I hate to diminish a win over Fitch but i'd more than likely be inclined to pick Fitch if they were to rematch.

If Kos wins they wouldn't give him a shot at the interim would they? nobody wants GSP-Kos 3.

Well, they would have little choice if he went through Hughes, Pierce, Hendricks, and Condit. He would deserve the shot. It would just add to the case that GSP should leave the division and move to 185

It's weird to think, but in a way everytime Kos, Fitch, Sheilds, and Alves beat upcoming contenders they are just building up GSP's legacy.

I love this fight and definitely think it will be close but i lean towards Kos.

Prefer Hendricks, thinking Kos by decision.

Sounds about right.

agreed,

hendricks may or may not be as good as people seem to think but there's no hard evidence at this stage.

there have been few in UFC history that could win boring decisions with koschecks efficiency so i'd have to pick him at this point in time.

Shaved the beard.

Hendricks should say, shove it up and your ass and stop bitching about losing.

What does it do to his legacy when they lose? Cause they keep losing. Kos should have lost to Pierce IMO, he just lost to Hendricks. Fitch had a draw with Penn then got TKO'd by Hendricks. Shields got TKO'd by Ellenberger and didn't look too impressive vs Sexy. Alves is 2-3 since fighting GSP. So what does that do for his legacy? Don't even get me started on Dan Hardy. Is GSP just breaking these guys? Are they not as good as we thought? Or is this new group of guys that good?

Thiago is not as good as though.

Fitch just got caut. He's legit.

Kos is good. Not great. He's still good.

Hardy was always trash.

GSP will handle condi, ellenberger, and Hendricks too.

The only significant thing Kos done in the first was poke Johny's eye.
