Josh Koscheck – IQ Test or Blood Test?

This week, we de-pants Josh Koscheck. The unlikable loser of the UFC.
Koscheck, recently accused UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre of using steroids, and cited of all authorities BJ Penn. The evidence, not Georges’ massive girth (ala Thiago Alves or Brock Lesnar), but Georges’ consistently excellent physique. “He’s ripped all year round.”
Hey, Josh, you ever seen BJ Penn when he IS in shape? He looks like the love child of the Michelin Tire man and the Pillsbury Dough Boy. He’s the lightweight division’s Roy Nelson. The only time BJ sees a muscle is when he’s eating one between two slices of bread. Oh, sorry, I forgot, he can jump out of a pool (even Aquaman can’t do that).
Josh is one of the least likable people in the UFC. Bar none. He’s calling for Olympic style blood testing, ala Floyd Mayweather. Hey Josh, you dipshit, that strategy cost Mayweather 30-40 million dollars!!! Good call on that one. Giving Georges some billboard fodder is a GREAT idea. You’ll never know it, but piss him off, great idea. By the way, there’s NO RULE that requires that kind of testing and do you REALLY want to open up that Pandora’s box? Plus, if Georges passes all the tests (which insiders have every reason to believe he would), then what?
Let’s move on to your fight strategy. Keep him standing up and not let him take you down. EVERYONE knows that one Einstein, but guess what, nobody has been able to do it. Matt Hughes, the greatest wrestler to ever enter the Octagon, couldn’t do it. Your hero, BJ Penn, with his remarkable take-down defense, couldn’t do it. Thiago Alves, who kicked your ass couldn ‘t do it. But, you, amazingly have it all figured out. Oh, yes, you didn’t dare stand up and strike with Paul Daley, but now you grew a pair and want to stand-up with Georges? Oh, and by the way, Georges has been training with legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach. You really wanna take that chance?
Georges is known for his remarkable work ethic. His idea of a vacation is going to Brazil and training all morning before he hits the beach. His improvement over the past several years is evidence of this work ethic. But morons like Penn and Koscheck never met a buffet they didn’t like, nor do they realize that being a professional athlete today is a 12 month job. Maybe Georges’ remarkable improvement and his remarkable physique have the same cause… hard work!!!
Update: Koscheck backed off his steroid allegations.
Update No. 2: There is no evidence that peroxide seeping through the skull causes delusions or brain damage. Keeping it blonde Josh.
Koscheck is a douche! Thank you for the article!!!!
Gonna get destroyed by GSP
Not only is he making unwarranted accusations, he is plagarizing, the line “I’m going to keep the fight standing” has already been quoted by:
-Dan Hardy
-BJ Penn
-Matt Serra
-Jon Fitch
That game plan doesn’t have a high success rate.
GSP is a badass!
Koscheck needs to hire a PR guy, one that has to give him permission to speak in public. The man is a joke.
Koscheck knows how to keep it standing, everytime GSP gets a takedown he’ll fake an eyepoke, or illegal blow! Yes Kyle, he is indeed a douche bag.
He went to college?
You guys are just a bunch of GSP nut huggers, Koscheck is a good fighter and its not like he openly claimed GSP used steroids, he just said what he had heard, which isn’t half as bad as what 90% of the other fighters have said about their opponents, its part of the show.
Right Ben, slander is part of the sport. No harm in a little trash talk, but accusing someone of steroid use, that’s jacked. And just to let you know koscheck is not that great of a fighter…nut hugger
Overall I approve, but BJ Penn at lightweight is actually pretty cut. Now whenever he fights at welter he does look like a jet-puffed marshmellow, but not when he’s gotta hit 155. Anyway yeah, Josh is a cry baby. I think my 12 year old sister could beat him up.
GDP isn’t even that big I mean he’s super shredded, but for how much some people have b****ed about steroid use, I just don’t see it…
Should be a great fight!
Ernie…I think you meant gSp, but they keys are close on the keyboard. Josh is a great wrestler, and I respect him for that. I think he’s just trying to get into his opponents head, and get an advantage. Same reason why he tries to get calls in his favor (ie illegal knee in Paul Daley fight) Wins mean a lot in a fighters career, and even if he was grazed by the knee, it still was an illegal knee, or an eye poke, or whatever. At the end of the day you do what you have to do to get the win.
If you’re not cheating you’re not trying!
Right after Koscheck made the remarks I believe Georges said he would be more than happy to submit to random drug testing, honestly I think the guy is a boy scout…a bad ass boy scout.
Koscheck needs to keep his mouth shut or GSP is gonna go into that fight, rip his arm off and take it home with him. I don’t think he’s as flexible as Dan Hardy was.
St. Pierre is clean. I totally agree, a wicked work ethic goes a lot farther than performance enhancers. BJ Penn, Koscheck, and all the other haters need to put in the work that St. Pierre puts in, then they can start pointing fingers.
The best in every sport are always the ones that get accused of cheating. It’s called envy.
Koscheck looks like a friggin dork with his 90′s bleached hair, someone needs to tell him we moved into a new decade and then ANOTHER new decade, moron
He could juice, and cover himself in vaseline, GSP would still beat him. Its the bald head, gives him good luck.
Go GSP, except, whats with the fleur de lis on your leg, not a fan of that man, not at all.
I would just like to take a minute to quote the great Georges St. Pierre,
“It’s easy to talk trash but harder to fight. I’m not really good at it. Fighting, it’s what I’m good at.”
*nods head* Well said Georges, well said
If GSP was using steroids he would be gassed in one round, muscles are inflated, heart has to work hard to get fresh blood to the muscles, and fighters lose oxygen quick. GSP does not get gassed, ever. period. Look what he did to dan hardy, it was a friggin expo on wrestling and jiu jitsu, for 25 minutes.
Why is this not a surprise to me at all, from all people the comment came from Koscheck. First he insults Canada, then the French Canadian. I think he just doesn’t like us. Thats alright Josh, we don’t like you either.
You want my opinion, use the stinkin steroids, your still gonna have to work your butt off to cut weight and compete on fight day. I think Josh Koscheck is just trying to pre-justify the loss that is going to be handed to him.
I really just hope GSP finishes this one, I don’t want to see the five round ground game that both fighters did with their last opponents. Although at least GSP was working some moves instead of laying down.
St. Pierre has a work ethic and lifestyle that would make Koscheck piss his pants and cry, when are people gonna get over ufc 94, which by the way people, watch the tapes, NOT A BIG DEAL. BJ Penn was pissed cause he got OWNED! And Koscheck is the same way.
Georg st pierre is very talented, and a way nice person. i dont think he looks for an edge by performance enhancers.
Of course Koscheck “backed off his steroid allegations” He knows he’s barking up the wrong tree, just looking to get some face time with the press. Guy thinks people give a crap about what he has to say, and truth is, they dont, not at all
Props need to be given to Josh Koscheck just for accepting the fight, he probly knows he’s preparing for execution anyway, as long as he makes it too the fight, I’ll give him props for that.
De-Pants section…I like!
Koscheck is a sore loser and quite frankly bad for the sport. No one, alright, well lets not go to extremes, very few people like him, he offends fans, and offends fighters.
Why do you have to hate on Big Country?
MMA always entertaining!
Is it true that steriod use turns your hair blonde?
Controversy=Drama=more viewers for new season of TUF
HA HA HA HA HA
Josh is a very accomplished wrestler with improved striking. Hopefully it will be a competitive match up!
