Dan Hardy: "Josh Koscheck Is Like A Piece of S*** That Just Won't Flush."

by Anton Tabuena on Nov 24, 2009 2:33 PM EST

That was Dan Hardy's tweet a couple of hours ago, repeating a point that he made during an interview with TapouT Radio (audio). Josh Koscheck has been complaining about Hardy getting a title shot, and Dan Hardy takes another jab at him:

"Yeah it was alright. I am not sure about the eye poke/knee to the face thing. It kind of looked like he was looking for a way out there but whatever, that is his business. But yeah it was alright, it was a pretty good performance... A fight is a fight and these things happen, you just have to get on with it. Rolling around on the floor for five minutes holding his eye was a little bit dramatic for me. But Koscheck is Koscheck and I just can’t seem to like the guy."

"He talks and he thinks he deserves a title shot but I think he needs to string together more than two wins before he positions himself there. Maybe after I have fought GSP he can be my first title defense, that would be quite nice.

"The thing with Koscheck is, he is a pretty good fighter but he is inconsistent. He wins one, he loses one. He just won’t flush away for some reason, he is just always there. But every cloud has a silver lining and I will never get bored of watching Josh Koscheck get punched in the face. Its nice that he wins a fight every now and again so he stays around and we get to see him get knocked out every other fight."

Josh Koscheck has said that Hardy doesn't deserve a title shot because he "hasn't fought anyone", which also takes a shot at his own friend and training partner, Mike Swick. Hardy says he isn't surprised that Kos would disrespect his own teamate:

"It doesn’t surprise me, everyone knows what Josh Koscheck is like. It wouldn’t surprise me if he would do something to hinder his team mates. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him, as a training partner,"

Maybe its just me

But I think Kos would wreck Hardy if they fought.

Honestly, I’ve thought each of Hardy’s UFC opponents would beat him.

That’s not working out great for me.

I have to guess that Hardy’s takedown defense is not nearly as good as Thiago Alves… and I wouldn’t think Koscheck would underestimate Hardy’s power the way he did against Paulo Thiago.

Still I think Hardy is going to need a serious layoff after he gets brutalized by GSP so this is pretty academic. I would like to see Alves against Hardy though. After GSP beats him on the ground, seeing someone beat him on the feet would follow it up quite nicely.

My sentiments exactly

if Marcus Davis could take Dan down repeatedly, then think of what Kos would do to him… Kos/ Lytle, anyone?

Kos doesn’t take people down, he tries to run them through the cage. A full blown Kos takedown is pretty awe inspiring, I wish he would go for it more instead of shitty boxing.

defintily. i think the bad blood is real too. could be a striking fest for the first 2 minutes and then

koscheck takes down hardy and gnp’s him are submits him like he did a.j. except he keeps submission in the neck a couple of seconds longer.

yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

If Koschecks tries to stand and strike with Hardy he will probably get KO’d on the ground he will probably hava an advantage since Hardys ground game is pretty much unknown

he stood with johnson for three minutes and johnson has 4 inches on him and 20 pounds

when fight time came. i thought it was a bad strategy at first but it prove to be a winning formula. kos looked good vs a.j standup and on the ground.

well Kos v Hardy actually interests me more than gsp v hardy, at least as far as competitiveness. It also does not surprise me how quick Kos is to throw one of his one teammates under the bus.

id actually rather see a kos/hardy eliminator to determine who fights gsp. Really neither seem deserving at this point. i see gsp ground and pounding both of them. But kos had his chance against gsp so he should have to wait.
