Welterweight Josh Koscheck faces Mike Pierce at this Saturday's UFC 143 in Las Vegas. But in this interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani, he shows his mind is still on his old nemesis, injured champion Georges St. Pierre. From the interview:
Koscheck: Hopefully George is out for more than 10 months and they make that interim title holder fight twice.
Helwani: You're rooting against him?
Koscheck: Yeah absolutely. Hopefully he never comes back. Basically ACL surgeries take a lot out of you. I've had friends who've had the surgery and they say they're never the same. Hopefully it evens out the playing field and we can get another crack at Georges.
Helwani: There's still bad blood there?
Koscheck: No. Me and George have always been cool. He's a respectable guy outside of the cage when we're not fighting. He's a great person. I'm sure we would probably hang out. Well maybe not, he'd probably say no but I'd be willing to kick it with him.
After the jump Koscheck talks about his UFC 143 opponent Mike Pierce and makes his pick for the welterweight interim title fight between Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz.
SBN coverage of UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit
On Pierce:
(On his reaction to Pierce calling him out) First off I had to look him up and see who he was. I would prefer to fight someone with a bigger name. It's better for the fans, better for the sport.
He's been talking a lot and as cocky as he is at the end of the day he's got to get in there and back it up.
Hopefully Saturday night I put Mike Pierce to sleep. He's definitely a tough fighter. He's definitely a decision guy, he doesn't come in and finish guys.
He comes in in great shape, he gets off the bottom well and he has good take downs. He does everything pretty well but nothing great.
On Carlos Condit and Condit vs. Diaz:
(On the original Koscheck vs. Condit bout booked for UFC 143) It was huge fight for Carlos Condit. It was an easy fight for me. I truly believe I could beat Carlos Condit very easily.
Who are you picking in the main event?
I'm going to go with Diaz.

Yup, it’s all an act. I for one enjoy his antics; at least he commits to the role and doesn’t get too cheezy. I’m a Kos fan the same way I’m a Chael fan.
I would have a horseshoe surgically implanted in my ass just so Brock would pull it out and beat me over the head with it while I pleasure myself.

Hoping someone’s knee is ruined, so he can get a shot a gold. What a douche.

Yeah
I just caught that after I posted my reply. I am just glad that Kos doesn’t put on any kind of act. This is how he really is, and he isn’t that bad if you get to know him.

He is weird.
he starts out dissing Pierce than saying how good and underrated he is. he also says the phrase, “ya know” about 200 times.
Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.
So he thinks Johny Hendricks, who just beat Fitch, should be above “Engleberger” and Sanchez in title picture? What a surprise

Haha, what an asshole thing to say. Still though you have to appreciate his honesty, I’d bet there are other guys thinking the same thing to themselves.
"I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."

Ya know, I hope he never recovers from surgery, and he probably thinks I’m a complete tool shed, but I’d hang with him hehehe….someone please be my friend….please? is Bobby Southworth around…god I’m lonely"

Only way Kos could possibly win the WW title is with GSP remaining absent
At least he’s upfront about it, even if I think he’s just bullshitting for attention.

Wishful thinking.
I’d bet a significant amount of money that were they to fight Diaz couldn’t/wouldn’t sub Kos from the bottom. Just wouldn’t happen.

Diaz isn't Daley.
And his comment about Diego? He flopped Paula Thiago around like a rag doll if memory serves….. Didn’t Paulo Thiago lights out Kos?
Read what I said again.
Do you notice how what you say in no way refutes what I said?

"I'm a well-wisher, in that I don't wish you any specific harm."
So basically Kos is saying he hopes GSP never gets back, but would like to kick it with him? I think that comment may have ruined the friendship Josh

Does he realize how incongruent he comes across as? Saying he hopes GSP never fully recovers but has no ill will towards him, alright..
Use big words like that in front of Kos, and he'll give you an atomic wedgie, while screaming "NERDS!"

I don't get why so many fighters give Helwani sh!t
He seems like a nice enough dude.
But I also feel like Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar catch/caught a lot of extra, un-needed crap as well.

Sometimes people act like a torn acl is the end of the world. It’s not that serious of an injury in normal circumstances.
When you're an elite athlete that heavily relies on being able to perform at or near your peak
A disruption as big as a torn ACL may perhaps be the end of the world

i prefer it to the line of “GSP is ducking me!”
yeah, there are so many welterweights that GSP is “scared” of.
Unless your a huge dick
Then maybe your honesty should be kept private.

ACL Surgery's suck
The injury isn’t the worst part. Neither is the grueling painful surgery……it’s the 9-12 months of rehab and always second guessing yourself that destroys potential. I’ve lost my confidence….and had to quit judo….now that sucks.

Love how's he's being honest and trolling at the same time.
He’s taking the piss out of everyone and he knows these are the reactions hell get.
Much like Chael.
Fuck you Kos
I hope I don’t get shit for fighter bashing but this is some pussy bullshit. “Hey I can’t beat the guy, so I hope he stays injured because I know its the only chance I have of ever seeing that belt” is pretty much what he just said. I have never been a Kos fan, but wishing somebody would stay hurt is fucking low. I hope you lose every single fight in the rest of your career asshole.
I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!

i don't know about you guys, but it seemed like he meant it as more of a joke
he was “joshing” if you will.
They seemed cool after their fight, i doubt there is any ill will between them.

You can see how much most of these guys hate him. If he wasn’t Dana’s personal journalistic rent-boy there would be no way he’d score all these interviews.
