Frank Trigg breaks down Josh Koscheck

"It’s a mirror match-up, I’m fighting me in a mirror…I think it’s a great fight, I’m a lot bigger and better at 170 then I was before."

I think Kos beats him to the punch by being faster and more explosive..

I don’t remember Trigg putting people to sleep like Koscheck did on Yoshida…

You can't blame Trigg for lack of confidence

But even calling it fighting a mirror image is a huge stretch. Koscheck is younger, stronger, faster, and more explosive. He also has wicked power in his right hand, and is a better wrestler than Trigg.

Trigg at his peak isn’t in the same league as Kos. This version of Trigg has a puncher’s chance, but I don’t think he’s going to want to stand with Kos after he gets a taste of that right hand.

Then again, after watching the first 30 seconds of Thiago/Koscheck, I didn’t give Paulo Thiago a shot either, so who knows.

Mirror-image?

Younger, better and uglier hair is fighting himself in a mirror? Irrational as this may sound, I hope Kos, who I’m not that big a fan of, trounces Trigg just because he’s taking up a roster spot of a young fighter.

RNC

I hope KOS is training to threaten him with chokes off every failed TD. Every clinch where he doesn’t do anything? Choke.

Frank Trigg wins this one all day

after the bout it will be revealed that it was actually Kurt Angle the whole time, who will then challenge Brock Lesnar.

95% sure.

It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
