Dan Hardy Will Still Fight for Title Despite Impressive Koscheck Performance
UFC 106, while looking like a pretty poor card turned out to be fairly decent. Josh Koscheck took on Anthony Johnson in the co-main event of the evening. If you were to get past the eye pokes and attempted illegal knees the fight ended up being really good.
After the fight when Koscheck said the he is “the number one freaking contender in this weight division” and also mentioned that Dan Hardy “hasn’t fought anyone like me.” While it might be true that Koscheck has come up against some better competition he has already had his shot at the champion and came out without the victory.
Simply because of the reason that Koscheck has already had his shot at the champion (non-title fight, UFC 74) I think it was wise of Dana White to keep his rising British star in the title fight.
Where can Koscheck go from here though? Well Jon Fitch is always around for a fight in the new year if he wins at UFC 107. The fight would be a good third fight or co-main event on Superbowl weekend with the main event being Hardy vs GSP.
If Jon Fitch was to lose his fight at UFC 107 against Mike Pierce Koscheck could be given a fight against Thiago Alves once Alves has recovered from his PCL tear that put him out of UFC 107.
What say the readers? Who should Josh Koscheck fight? Should he have been given the title shot?
