I Guess Josh Koscheck Didn't Learn Anything From The Paulo Thiago Fight?

PrintHe announced that he'll be fighting Mike Pierce at Ultimate Fight Night 20 on January 11th via his Twitter account:
Fighting January 11 2010 spike tv vs Mike Pierce UFN 20 Like I said don't care who I fight or where just get me someone who wants to fight
Now, I respect a guy that just likes to fight and put on a good show and what not. However, when you are in someone like Koscheck's position, you can't just accept any fight. Mike Pierce isn't a bad fighter at all. In fact, he just upset the insanely tough Brock Larson at Ultimate Fight Night 19. However, beating Pierce doesn't really do anything for Koscheck besides put a little extra money in his pocket. A loss in this fight would be a huge blow to him. It would be the second time within a year that he's fought and lost to a relative unknown fighter. However, Koscheck also tweeted this:
Bad news! Not fighting matt Hughes :( but the good news is.... I'll be wipping GSP's ass real soon!!
So does Koscheck get another shot at GSP with a win over Pierce?

Maybe Mike Pierce is the way into WW title contention… sort of like Drew McFedries.

koscheck did go entire five rounds vs gsp correct? does anybody remember what the judges scores?
i know he lost but it was mainly a wrestling match i think? watching too many college football games. saturday is always crazy day for me. i’m glad ohio state is going down. with 2 losses and iowa winning no chance now for bcs game.

Nah
It was a 3 rounder… I don’t remember if it was a split decision, if memory serves it was 29-28 on all cards for GSP.
Bloody hell.
yea
GSP didn’t blow him out of the water…but won decisively

He could fight Fitch...
…except that I think Fitch deserves better talent. He may not get another title shot for a while, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be fighting top-ten talent till then.

I dont see how a title shot would be justified
when he hasn’t fought a top 10 guy since Alves and he has lost 2 of his last 4
