The Ultimate Fighter Season 12 will debut on September 15, and the finale will likely be on December 4th -- one week before UFC 123, where the coaches face off for the welterweight championship.

He could be the next WW champ…
he’ll just have to wait until GSP goes up to MW and vacates the belt. Hopefully for Kos he’ll be back in title contention by then.

Yeah he forgot to write the year. It should say “dec. 11, 2012… :))))))))”

No location yet I’m guessing. I have a feeling they’ll do it in Pittsburgh. They already went to Montreal this year and I’d be surprised if they do 3 Canadian shows in a 7 month period.
Toronto
If they can by some act of god get the greenlight for a Toronto show that’s where it will be.

Poor Kos'...
I hope he’s comfortable being smothered and layed on for twenty-five minutes. I’ll have to remind someone to wake me up when it’s over.
The outcome is obvious.

That isn’t anything that Koscheck wasn’t doing to Paul Daley. To me personally, I find it amazing that someone like GSP who didn’t wrestle in high school or college is outwrestling someone of Koscheck’s pedigree.

Do you really think
That is how this fight will play out?

It sucks
to have GSP sidelined a long time before the Hardy fight. It sucks more to have GSP sidelined again until December.
Pro-wrestling and MMA: I have the best of both worlds.
ANY
UFC champion doesn’t need the hype and exposure that TUF brings. Let alone GSP for that matter, arguably the 2nd biggest draw in the UFC. They should use TUF for fighters who are not yet in the “superstar” status and matching them with another coach which is a more recognizable name who is not champion. That way, the champion is freely defending his title whole year round while the UFC creates new stars by putting them in a TV show watched by many casuals. It’s a win-win situation.

6 weeks
to film the show. But then after filming you have to wait for TUF to air, you have to wait for the TUF Finale and then you get the coaches fight. That’s a long time, especially for a champion (granted injury free).
Pro-wrestling and MMA: I have the best of both worlds.
GSP's last bout was in March
Next will be December… that’s 9 months with no title defense.
Rampage was off like 10 months before he fought Griffin after TUF.
IMO, it’s a waste to have champs on there.
Plus...
… GSP needs some “refreshing” in the eyes of “newer” fans who only see him once a year these days. Good promotion of fighter.

meh
I’m not liking his chances. Would be fun if it would be in Pittsburgh though. I wonder if they would allow vuvuzelas? =)

Dana = no vuvuzelas.

As much as I want to agree; I can't. GSP makes damn sure the fight happens the way it does.
I don’t see Kos on his feet for very long. If Kos manages to stuff GSP’s shots and counters with eardrum crushing fists/elbows, GSP will find himself in trouble as long as Kos can maintain the pace with anti-wrestling.

If it came to a pure striking match, GSP would still be favored.
Kos has power behind his punches, but GSP is a far superior striker.
He was against "Wonder Punch" Cera too.
I just think Kos has to be aggressive and really work on his takedown defense to have a chance to shock the world.
It’s not impossible though.

'Wonder Punch' Cera and his unorthodox stance.
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.

GSP is the better striker and better wrestler. Kos doesn’t stand much of a chance. The only question is whether or not GSP finishes the fight or takes all five rounds in dominating fashion.

I disagree
Kos is the most dangerous WW in the UFC for GSP.

Although he may be the most dangerous, I don’t think he poses any sort of a huge threat. Kos can and will be taken down or outstruck. How does he win the fight? I think GSP takes this 99 times out of 100. Kos doesn’t take down GSP, Kos doesn’t knock him out. I just don’t see it.
Who do you think improved more since the first fight, GSP or Kos?

God
I hope KOS ko’s GSP, or better yet a RNC.
I’d sooooo enjoy the WW division with a KOS as king heel than GSP’s sanctimonious L’N’P

It doesnt look like this either.
Seriously, if you think Georges is a lay and pray fighter you are either stupid or hating. Pick one.

GSP owned Kos the first time around. Granted, Kos has improved since then, but so has GSP. In fact, based on what he’s done in between these two fights, I’d say GSP has improved more than Kos has. Outside of Kos pulling a Serra of sorts, he’ll be eating crow come Dec 12th. There is no way he will win outside of GSP making some boneheaded mistake.

i think kos has the best chance of beating gsp that anyone has had in a long time. still not a great chance.

Pretty excited for this fight...
Kos has a better chance than most at WW.
lolthis fight should not have been turned into a tuf season
we already saw it, gsp won pretty convincingly. this rematch shoulda been done real quick like 3 months after the hardy fight, gotten kos outta the way and gotten gsp ready to fight either shields or anderson silva
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
regardless of what GSP claims, I don’t think he wants any part of Anderson Silva. I could see him fighting Shields next summer.
"she told me she was on the pill." me
why in the summer?
another huge layoff? fuck that put it in march
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
GSP is a one-fight a year guy now.

you see him often enough, people do enough bitching because he’s already cleared out his division if he fought more it would be non stop.

There are still fights at WW (Thiago, Shields, Diaz)
Or he could stop being ……..and move up to 185. I mean it didn’t take years for BJ to “put on muscle” to move up to 170. A fighter is a fighter. They could still fight at 177 and it would be for the MW title.
