PrintKoscheck - "First off the guy is a blatant cheater, he had oil all over him..."
Helwani - "So you felt as though he was oiled up?"
Koscheck - "yeah, I could smell it from the beginning..."
Helwani - "I just have to ask about the knee, a lot of people are booing you, they said you embellished, did he [Daley] in fact hit you in the head with his knee?
Koscheck - " Yeah, absolutely... he hit me with something while I was down. So I don't know whether it was a knee, fist or what, but I got hit pretty hard. I could of quit but I got up and kept fighting".
Dana White - "I was just in doing an interview with ESPN and Rashad was all over me about it. Obviously more than likely yes, [Rashad Evans and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson] one of those two is going to get the shot at the title,"HT: mmafighting.com, transcribed by higgledy-piggledy

Marcus Davis
is a stud. baroni v Davis in Boston would be a treat.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
he would put up a better fight then Maia
Detroit Red Wings = next Stanley Cup Champs. Howard for Calder
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
If by "put up a better fight" you mean that he would quickly get knocked out in spectacular fashion
For the record, I think Maia would tool Belcher without too much difficulty as well.

New Guyman fan
Wasn’t aware of his personal demons last year but hard to not be a fan after watching that interview. Looking forward to his next fight.
i am now a mitrione fan
good stuff man, good stuff.
i give him two fights max
before he’s cut, he’ll need to improve a lot, very quickly if he’s going to stay in the ufc
It all depends on Joe Silva
If Joe feeds him a few Al-Turks and Evensons, he could stick around a while.
If Joe feeds him to guys like TODDDUFFEE or Big Country, he won’t last long.
He's improved a ton already
I think he has a lot of potential. As Steve4192 said, if the UFC takes their time bringing him along, he could develop into something special. He’s a legitimate athlete, something we don’t get in this sport often, and he’s got charisma and a very funny guy, the UFC isn’t dumb.

"He’s a legitimate athlete, something we don’t get in this sport often"
Maybe at Heavyweight, but to broadbrush that across all weightclasses is pretty unfair.
I think so too. I was impressed w/ the leg kicks and knees to the body, but overall, I saw a lot of holes in his game other fighters would take advantage of.
The good thing about those holes though is Mitrione acknowledged a lot them and was already pointing them out as things he needed to work on after the fight. I’m impressed and agree with others if they take their time with him he might turn into a good fighter for the UFC. Not to mention I really like what I’m hearing from him in interviews as compared to how I perceived him from TUF.
Just BE.
If they take their time with him and set him up against guys like Hague and Al-Turk, he’ll get some experience. He’s a natural athlete and that’s rare. I’d say in 2 years if he progresses like he has to this point, he could be a legitimate HW threat at 33. He’s great on the microphone and seems to not be that asshole he was on TUF.

Asshole/Weirdo
He seemed just to be a regular guy that got caught up playing the game. And edited to be the weird guy.
Follow me on twitter @thisredengine
He definitely comes off differently than he did in the house...
…I guess maybe in his case, editing may have played a large part in our perceptions of him.

I always hated Kos...
but am now a fan. His post fight interview was priceless in that Canadian crowd. Maybe I liked it cuz I live in Pittsburgh and love the Penquins. Anyways, his heel act has finally won me over.

I thought that interview was awesome, and I give him credit for using his brain and putting Daley down repeatedly, but still, he didn’t get hit with that knee, and the Anthony Johnson one looked like nothing as well. Hockey fans don’t like diving… The Ultimate Fighter should be interesting, but once again, GSP will have 7-8 months between fights. And that’s just annoying.

Oh my GOD I hate Koscheck.
Talking about other people being cheaters, shit…. Who faked being poked in the eye a few months ago and fakes getting knee’d in the head while they were on the ground?
Fuck outta here Koscheck.
Watching that post fight interview above it looks like a bruised spot right on Koscheck’s hairline where that knee hit him. So I think Koscheck might be telling the truth. Now looking at the gif right below this it doesn’t look like it hit him real hard because his head doesn’t snap back but it doesn’t matter how hard it lands if it lands it’s an illegal blow and he deserves a bit of time to recover from that illegal blow.
Just BE.
Kos didn't fake the Rumble eye poke.
He got blatantly poked a few seconds earlier.

“I don’t know whether it was a knee, fist or what, but I got hit pretty hard.” – Kos
So he doesnt know what it was, yet he looked straight at the ref after it ‘connected’ and dived to the ground?? hhhmmmmm, I smell bullshit.
Who knows if it really landed or not. All I know is even a glancing knee still hurts pretty bad. Especially if you take one to the dome.

I believe him on this one.
I think he over reacted a bit or he wouldn’t have been up fighting as fast as he was.

Kos – Faker. But he knows what he’s doing. People are gonna pay to see his face get turned to ground beef. Though I didn’t see anything last night that would indicate his rematch with GSP would turn out any differently.
Shogun – The gold looks good on him. What a professional. This opens the door for some awesome fights. Hopefully he’ll have a long title reign. I know I said that when Machida got the belt, but I would really like to see someone hold onto the LHW belt for a while. But I guess it’s easier said than done considering the shark tank that the LHW division is…
Meathead – What a strange dude. I really don’t think that Triangle or any of the subs were locked in.
Doerksen – I’m really happy for that dude. Glad he won.
Belcher – Anderson Silva? Really? Belcher’s gotta go through guys like Maia or Marquardt first.
In regards to Mitrione, yes, those subs weren’t locked in, but before the fight, people were talking about how Kimbo would have the better ground game. The reality is that Mitrione has progressed a lot to the point where he at least saw openings for subs and just needs to work on them.

I was surprised at him not knowing what to do with any of them. Very embarrassing sub attempts.

I said this in another post, but I was impressed by Mitrione just because not many Heavyweights in the UFC even try triangle chokes off their back. Had he known how to lock it in better, he probably would have made Kimbo tap. Mitrione needs work, but it is obvious that he is improving, and there is no reason to throw him in the shark tank at this time, so he can be built up.
yep, I said this above
But give him 2 years and he’s a top 10 fighter…yes, at that time people like Nog/Barnett/Fedor won’t be fighting and I think at 33 he’ll be legitimate. I mean yes, this is based on 4 fights, but where he was on tuf to now? He’s got a future.

I was personally thinking more of Mitrione being a solid mid-tier, but it isn’t outside the realm of possibility for him to be a top 10 fighter in two years. He does have potential for sure, and having a submission game and trying submissions in the cage this early in his professional MMA career actually puts him ahead of the curve in that I don’t see even Velasquez, Carwin, or JDS even trying submissions (that’s not a knock on those three, btw). Is it safe to say that you feel that Mitrione is a legit Heavyweight prospect now?
I felt he was before this fight, I was pretty vocal about it in the Mitrione/Kimbo preview thread. I thought the fight with Junk was very telling about his ability. He was very raw but took on a veteran with heavy hands and pulled it out. The fight with McSweeney showed how green he was. His ability to get up from Marcus Jones who has solid BJJ and a very good top game, showed progressed and this showed that he’s finally starting to figure out the game. This is his 2nd “official” professional fight and he came out looking like a vet.
I figure in 2 years you’ll have Todd Duffee and Mitrione in the top 10 and guys like Nog/Fedor/Barnett will be retired.

That’s a funny little bruise right at the top of kos’s forehead, maybe the knee did land. I actually am interested in the gsp match. Its not like gsp did anything different to hardy. Hopefully their wrestling will cancel out and we’ll see some more gsp standup for once.
by Curbside on May 9, 2010 12:11 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Yea I said the same thing up above. I noticed that bruise right on Koscheck’s hairline in the video up top. I think Koscheck might be telling the truth that the knee really did catch him.
Just BE.
if he got "hit", his head would have jerked backwards. A graze at best.

If that knee is what left the bruise on his hairline then I would have to say it was more than just a graze.
Just BE.

Graze at Most.
The knee may have grazed his forehead, but it is far from his claim of “…I got hit pretty hard. I could of quit but I got up and kept fighting”.
by higgledy-piggledy on May 9, 2010 12:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Their wrestling won’t cancel each other out. GSP will win in the wrestling department. What I suspect is more GnP from GSP this time out. Kos is gonna get beat up.
Newbie question
Has GSP seen anyone with Kos’ wrestling skill? Being a 4X NCAA top 4 placer is no joke…..

GSP fought and outwrestled Koscheck right after the first Serra fight.
Like being disappointed? Sweet! Follow @teddwelch on Twitter!
Oh, it was definitely a close fight
I was just pointing out that GSP has definitely fought and beaten a wrestler on Ko’s level.
Like being disappointed? Sweet! Follow @teddwelch on Twitter!
oh no worries
They’ve both progressed a ton since that fight and I think Kos really presents the last test outside of Shields for GSP. I like Paulo Thiago but I think he gets out grappled ala Fitch.
Follow me on twitter @thisredengine
you forget, thiago had fitch in a few chokes that would’ve put the rest of the human race to sleep. benderson and fitch are incapable of being choked out, its like they don’t have arteries in their necks.
i think gsp has a few more tests at 170, there is always someone a few wins away.

Wow,
Kos’s afro must have a huge bruise today, seeing as how that’s all daley hit with his knee last night
