H-town baby!!
DIEGO SANCHEZ VS. JOSH KOSCHECK is confirmed according to Koscheck's website.
http://www.kos-check.com/news.php?ax...0&id=10&nid=45
I hope Diego demolishes Josh "The Blanket" Koscheck. Koscheck has certainly shown he can frustrate opponents by constantly taking his opponents down and controlling them from the top position. Greg Jackson has to make sure Diego is tip top with his takedown defense, and reversal of positions when on the bottom (something Diego is already good at). If Diego can keep The Blanket from neutralizing his game, he won't have a problem winning this.
We'll see if GSP will fight Serra on this card. Joe Stevenson should also fight, as well as Luke mo vs. Josh Haynes.
I can just see how Diego will win now: Koscheck shoots in for a takedown, and Diego makes him eat a knee.
I can't wait for "Kos" to get beatdown...![]()
I thought everybody hated Diego, the hate for Koschek must be unbelievable
Well, I can't wait for Diego to get beatdown AFTER he beatsdown Koscheck...
They're #1 and #2 for me...#3 being Rashad...
Diego is a weird mofo, but I really like the guy. How could I not be a fan of his with the way he fights? He is one of the most fun fighters to watch that I have ever seen. Another thing is, he has always exceeded most people's expectations. So many thought he was a fluke and were just waiting to see him lose at his next match. It wasn't until he beat Karo that alot of bandwagoners started to cheer for him.
As far as Kos, I hate him simply because he is an asshole. I don't hate Rashad, but I want to see him get beat badly. He is very overrated in my opinion, because the UFC has coddled him to this point. The one exception was when he beat Bonnar, but he just held Bonnar down and didn't do anything. Bonnar should not have kept on trying to escape. He should have just laid there to get stood up again since Rashad wasn't doing anything to finish the fight.
There is one thing I will say for Rashad though. He HAS to be improving being that he is a part of Greg Jackson's camp. I just want to see him fight a proven fighter, not some nobody named Sean Salmon.
You get some pride/wwe wiggers that want to see everyone in the UFC get beat down bad becasue the UFC has shown pride how to run an org an get BIG.![]()
Those clowns don't realize that if you fight enough and fight the best, not just roid monkeys that everyone eventually will lose.
For the record, I think JK is a clown.
I like Diego's skills and his quirky-ness, but would still like to see GSP or Hughes knock him down a peg...
Rashad is REALLY over-rated...especially now. Tired of seeing his highly protected "undefeated" record. o? Babalu? He has to fight SOMEBODY next...
That's the thing about Diego...we don't know how good he is yet. He has stepped up to the plate and won against everyone put in front of him. How would he do against GSP or Hughes? I think I know what the outcome would be, but Diego has surpirsed before. I'd at least like to think he'd give them a pretty good battle. I'll tell you this, he is a guy that will fill the seats on his pace and style of fighting alone, minus the personality or charisma that draw attention to some other fighters.
I think Babalu would be a great match for Rashad. I think he'd school Rashad, too.

Josh Haynes, the Incredible Shrinking Man...
Looking forward to several fights on this card. Sanchez/Kos (man, I hope Diego humiliates him), Swick/Okami, Stevenson/Huerta (that has great potential, IMHO). Luke mo is interesting to watch because he has such an, uh, individual style, but I don't know how he'll match against Haynes. I suppose Herring will be cheered, being the home crowd boy, but after his debut went so wrong we'll probably hear some boos as well.
The rumor is Herring vs The Hillbilly Heart-throb...lol

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HUMAN BLANKET, I HOPE YOU PACK SOME BALLS IN YOUR SUIT CASE WHEN YOU COME TO H TOWN, PLEASE DONT TRY TO DRY HUMP ME LIKE ALL YOUR OTHER BORING ASS FIGHTS. IM READY RIGHT NOW!!!! I ASKED DANA FOR YOU!!
P.S. YOU AINT GOT HANDS
^ That's awesome! Diego is telling it like it is. Koschek is well deserving of "The Human Blanket" moniker.
I'm very excited about the Kos-Sanchez match. It's always interesting when two guys really don't like each other. Props to Diego for talking some smack!!!
I know eveybody hates Kos but he's going to give Diego a run for his money. This should be an excellent match, especially if you enjoy the grappling aspect of mma.
Rashad made a few new fans in his last fight. Will The Blanket be able to do the same????
Not if he's a blanket.

Yet some on this board whine about smack being to much for them.![]()
Who on earth would whine like a little schoolgirl? Hmmm.....![]()
Daddy Dio has shut up the peanut gallery and they ran for help.![]()
I don't see how he can beat Diego without landing some strikes on the feet...
Should be a great fight![]()
Diego should take it...
Leonard Garcia should face Huerta.
Only one month away. I know a few guys who are going, but I'd rather watch the UFC at home than live. I've been to one, and know that the view and experience is better from my home.
WARRRRRR LEONARD!!!!!!!![]()
I'm sure the viewing is much better from home, unless you're sitting ringside (and even that isn't as good as having multiple cameras working for you). We thought about getting a group together and going, but I just don't think I can handle it. I've yet to even watch a PPV at Hooters or a bar...live would probably drive me nuts. A friend of mine watched from BWW's last weekend and he kept sending text messages about the unbelievable rednecks he was encountering there...he was amazed.I think he'll be watching future events at one of our houses...
Not a star filled card, but I like 3 or 4 of the matchups. Could end up being good despite the lack of star power.
I wonder if we are going to see Heath whine like a again after the fight.
I hope we see the real Heath this time...he should put the hurt on the Hillbilly Heart-throb (worst nickname ever)...
