PrintAccording to MMAmania.com, just a week after his devastating TKO loss to Paulo Thiago, Koscheck already has another opponent and fight date scheduled. May 23rd, UFC 98, which is slated to have the main event of Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir 2 for the undisputed heavyweight title now has another worthwhile bout scheduled.
This should be a good match up for Kos, dangerous at the same time. It'll be interesting to see if Kos comes out with the same intensity as he has been or plays it a little more cautious after his KO loss.
[Note by Kelvin Hunt, 04/03/09 1:09 PM EDT ]
According to The Wrestling Observer, Josh Koscheck had to pull out of this fight with a foot injury.
“Koscheck suffered a foot injury. They are looking for a replacement.”
This is probably a blessing in disguise for Koscheck. Wilson was a dangerous opponent for a guy that just got KTFO by an absolute nobody.

Chris Wilson is a tough guy. However, beating him doesn’t really do much for Koscheck in the grand scheme of things(just like Paulo Thiago)…well it gets him back in the W column…but that’s it. I wonder if he’ll revert back to using his wrestling a lil more in this match up?

hmm
1-2 in his last 3 fights. Dazed and confused in one and KO’d in the other.. He might be a little gun shy in this next one..

this is ANOTHER bad decision on the part of him and his management. fighting guys with little to no public recognition (everything to lose, not much to gain) is how he got a “L” to Paulo…..which set him much further back from the title than beating him would have set him ahead. if this was boxing the pundits would have a field day with trashing his management. say what you want about boxing, but there are fine examples of management taking a decent fighter and guiding him to big success….with Koscheck’s skills and good management he should have a title shot soon….but instead, he lost to an unknown in the UFC that he SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IN THE FIRST PLACE, and now is doing a wash, rinse, repeat.
