I’m not sure Kos wants to take Yoshida to the ground in this fight and if he does I hope Yoshida subs him…..
Can anyone explain why McCully is in the UFC?
I hope KOS gets destroyed. He is my least favorite fighter in the WHOLE WORLD! I HATE’em I HATE’em I HATE’em! At the least I want to see his nose break or face get bloddied up like a horror movie. I want Yoshida to F him up like a car accident. F KOS!
Errizle,
McCully is a really nice guy. He provides the fans with gum drop smiles….. You’re right…why is he in the UFC?
KOuch, ya know I agree with you not a fan of Kos!!!!!
lame..
Not a great card, let alone a good one but ill still probably ditch school to watch it lol.
Why all this hate for KOS? He only lost to GSP so far. He’s a good fighter and can knock people out which is always, but he definitely needs to get a new haircut though
EDDIE SANCHEZ FTW! I love that guy!
not such a great card need maybe 2 more top fights or somthing
only i like josh and swick
This is a solid card for a non-PPV event.
Remember everyone…. this event is a fundraiser to help the troops. The card may not be filled with “big names” but that doesn’t mean shat! Let the fighters fightnd then speak your mind. It reminds me of all the England cards….everyone bashes the F out of them and then the fights turn out to be great from prelims to the main event. I admit the match ups are a little weak BUT….like I said….let the fighters battle before we bash. Clementi is a f-n workhorse! He just doesn’t stop.
Got this from another site and thought most of you should take it to heart.
FANS: QUIT COMPLAINING ABOUT FREE UFC FIGHTS
Whenever a free UFC Fight Night or any other free MMA or UFC event happens, there are always complaints about the free show. There are complaints about the quality of the fights or lack of interest in the free event itself. Every MMA fan out there has to realize that these events are FREE! We are getting free fights with high-quality or up-and-coming fighters. The fact that some of these fights such as Nate Diaz versus Josh Neer are as high quality as they are should not warrant any type of complaints. We are not getting title fights for free, but we are getting some future title contenders and young, hungry MMA fighters. We should not expect the very top-tier draws or title holders for these free events, so please do not complain about the quality of these free fights. The UFC alone gave us Fight Night 15 this week, Leben versus Bisping in October, Fight Night for the Troops in December, and “The Ultimate Fighter” finale in December. That is four free MMA events in four months. Don’t take this for granted.
Kris,
Why did my e-mail go where my name is suppose to be? My message right after came up fine? What’s really goin’ on? Weird…. I never touched/typed any different in the name/e-mail address boxes. Oh well….hopefully someone sends me something cool.
@Bfree, its not Kos fight style I dislike, it is him personally… I have dealt with him and just don’t like him for the way he actually is, he is a talented fighter but not a person that I enjoy
KOuch
… so are you for Kos or against him? I can’t tell how you feel about him. I wish you’d get off the fence (just kidding, buddy). I also want to join the don’t like Kos group. I can’t tolerate his attitude. I’d be happy to see him get beaten into obscurity so I don’t have to see him anymore.
Welcome to the “group” DolfanG also congrats on the game I didn’t see it but u got a W so cheers
I know I have said it a million times but my problem with Kos is:
The penishead turned a hose on a sleeping Chris Leben. Chris had gone outside to sleep and calm down….Chris tried putting an end to the BS Kos and Southworth were starting. Kos and Southworth did everything they could to escalate and push the BAD situation beyond its limits. How much was Chris suppose to take? IMO he should hire a hitman and….you know.
The good thing for Chris is heis a fan favorite for the most part. Kos is hated and can’t win fans over for shat. He even gets booed when he wins….I love it.
kos sucks ass. Leben is way better. I agree that Kos and Southworth were complete wankers on the show, big kids that just needed to grow up. He aptly got nicknamed from leben, “the blanket” after Josh’s ****ty performance in the show where he beat Leben. Kos lays on guys, puts his finger up their AS5 a few times, get’s enjoyment from it, and is a complete bum. He just wrestles to the ground, and soes piss all after that. Wahat retard.
I hope Yoshida destroys this jumped up asshole.
Thanks FR702
The team played real well today. We still need a wide receiver and some defensive backs, but we’re moving in the right direction.
Ryan,
You said it. Finger in the arse is right!
No worries DolfanG
It seems kind of dumb to not like Kos because he did something dumb on a TV show 4 years ago. Leben was an even bigger douc**bag than Kos, but he has grown up somewhat. I dislike Kos because of all the sh** he was talking prior to the GSP fight. I have to admit though, he is a pretty good fighter, though the win over Sanchez was pretty boring.
Nothing made the Raleigh Sports Sunday edition(News and Observer)
19 AND 1!!! that sayin made me a kos fan
I either like a guy or I don’t. I don’t have a favorite because of his record… (Notice the Dolfan moniker)… I didn’t see season 1 of TUF. I’ve made up my mind about Kos based on how he’s acted since then and my opinion has been fortified by guys that have had first hand contact with Kos.
How ’bout them Fins??? 38-13 over the stinkin’ Pats.
I never cared for kos much as a person, what he said bout GSP was complete direspect and unsmart, but watchin him fight is a whole nother thing. I love seeing wrestlers his caliber stand and throw bombs(prolly just an attempt to win fans), and when he shoots he doesnt dive for legs like tito he tries to put guys through the cage. and his cardio is there which meens hes dedicated.
KOuch,
Keep your guns on Ko’s. You stuck by me on my hatred for Stann so I will back you on this. The hose was is and always will be a crap move and Bobby was too old to treat an inexperianced kid like Leben the way he did. Dana should pair them up at a catch weight and let Leben rid the world of him!
Kos is a good fighter, but that’s only half of the story. I like a guy that has a good work ethic and he gives back and willing to help others. I’m not talking about an angel, just a decent human being. Would I want to hang out with Kos?… nope. He’s a jerk. That’s not my fault, it’s what he’s done. People don’t like Kos because of Kos.
He is a talented fighter with a personality that illustrates every negative thing ever said about an athlete…
Dietrich
Why do you dislike Stann? He’s said some stuff that I thought was foolish, but I think they put him up to it to try and build up more interest in his fight.
oh… and by the way… GO GATORS!
DolfanG, Gators #4 in the AP poll nice, to be honest I enjoy college football more so than Pro Football, the kids have more heart imo… Bulldogs #25 what? Haha
I actually USED to like pro football more, but I started really enjoying college football when they stopped running that boring wishbone and veer all the time. The Big 10 ran that “student body left” and “student body right”. It was all 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Once the Hurricanes started to run the pro set offense, they changed the look of college football. Now I do enjoy college football more than pro football.
Kos lost to GSP and Drew Ficket, let us never forget the knee in the last 15 seconds of a fight and RNC that put Kos to sleep and gave him his first loss.
Koschek is great wrestler but bad human being. Talks too much sh*t and can’t really back it up.
I can’t wait for the Diego Sanchez rematch.
DolfanG,
I am alright with Stann now he lost the belt and took it like a man. At the time I had a problem with him getting a title shot after punching Cantwell in the back of the head and not owning up to it. They were promoting him as a clean cut patriotic Dudley Do Right kind of soldier a la John Glenn in the Mercury 7 program back in the day and he did something that merited a one point deduction or a DQ.Plus I can’t remember the fight but if you watch carefully it appears he was holding an opponent’s throat one time. That’s old Combatives stuff not sport MMA. And there is this Former Marine I know who is disrespecting his wife and I am just dying to give him a come to Jesus session and Stann (fairly or unfairly ) was the subject of some of my transferred anger.
@DolfanG,
As much as we watch some of these fighters and coaches we never really know them. I met Rafiel Torre(sp?).(Those that don’t know him look him up) Strange looking dude, especially for being in Raleigh. Talked MMA with him and he comes off as a smart guy who happens to be involved in body art/self mutilation. I remind myself not to judge someone by how they look.Then we find out what he is capable of, and lying about his background was so small in comparison…
The dislike for Kos is certainly not over his fighting ability, he is a good fighter. His fights are boring at times, (w over Sanchez and w over Leben), but even that is not the rub. As the others said, its his personality, he’s a jerk.
i only like fighters that try to win (finish fights) thats what the Whole game plan should be about! not win the round(s) so they get the points!
Nice card and on th eKOS subject, everyone hates guys with blond fros!!! Just one of those things……
i hope corey hill can rebound from his loss
i can’t believe KOS gets to be in the main event!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate that guy!!!!
i hope he gets his face smashed!!!!!!
don’t hold back rhymes…
justin…
for real man…
ever since tuf season with KOS…
i just do not like him @ all!!!!
hes a coward and he is a punk!
i think he has a horrible attitude and the way he carries himself is really bad for the sport!!!!
i just want to see someone come along and put this man in his place…
hope he loses…
other than that its a koo card..
I don’t like Kos either, no worries. I wanted Deigo to beat him last time they fought, I was glad GSP beat him, I would like to see Leben drop down just to pound his face, even though I think Josh would take leben down like he did on TUF.
they need to drop cummo
Rhymes
You really have to make a decision… Are you a fan of Kos or not?
I am also a member of the Kos anti-fanclub. I hope he gets beat like a drum. He’s too arogant and self-absorbed.
I guess if knew KOS personally i would have a different opinion on him, but all im saying is that who cares if hes a homo with a even douchier haircut. He has had some really good fights for the UFC even when he loses(i forgot about the fickett fight). Everybody has a boring fight from time to time, its just their name that can make it exciting ie Lesnar/Herring
But i totally agree with Leben beating the complete hell out of KOS. No one rudely awakens Leben and gets away with it!!!
dolfang!!!
i do not like him @ all!!!! hahaaaa
did u read my comment???
i can’t stand him…
Rhymes
Let me understand you here… You’re leaning toward not being a Kos fan? But you haven’t completely decided yet… Is that about where you’re at?
dolfang…
I DO NOT LIKE HIM!
I AM NOT A FAN!
NEVER WILL BE A FINE!
NEVER WAS A FAN!
ANTI-KOS!
you get me???
B FREE…
your right man…he does look sort of homo?? hhaaa
i hate his hair..
but mad props to leben for not crushing his face when they hosed him!!!!
leben looked crazy that day…i like chris though…
he might have came off as a clown…but he really showed a lot when he chose to crush a door instead of KOS! hhaha…
and who was the other bully???
he lost to bonnar in the show…
i forget his name???
he reminded me of solomon hutchinson..
was it the guy who was stealing other peoples close?
and if it was is was sam somthing
Rhymes
I’m beginning to think you have negative feelings about Kos. I hope I haven’t misread you…
UFCfan…
idk about that??
but he was black??
DOLFANG…
man your killing me…are you messing with my head for laughs or are you serious???
I DO NOT LIKE KOS AT ALL!!!!!!!
@Rhyme, DolfanG is F~ing with u
Bobby Southworth I believe is who u r thinking of he too is a D~Bag… He was suppose to defend his title (ya he is a StrikeForce LHW champ) against Babalu but pulled out due to “injury”
jeeze rhymeskiLL15 never knew you were such a big fan of kos’s…when did you become a fan of his during season 1 or later than that?
I’m just not sure where Rhymes stands in regards to Kos… He won’t say how he really feels.
I thought the guy stealing the clothes was Sam Hoger. I think I saw something recently about him fighting somewhere.
@KOuch – I think you must have entered your email in the name line by accident as that’s the only way I know of that it would appear there and not be hidden. No matter the case I’ve corrected it, let me know if it happens again.
thats what his name is…bobby!!
what a bully!!
Hey Rhymes,
I was just messin’ with you. I hope I didn’t offend you. I was laughing my butt off.
Just for the record though, you don’t care much for Kos, do you?
DOLFANG!!!
THAT WAS HILARIOUS MAN…
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE YOUR FRUSTRATED BUT AMUSED AT THE SAME TIME FOR ME!!!! HAHAAAA
JUST FOR THE RECORD!
KOS IS MY HERO! =]
Huge fight for Yoshida to showcase himself…. he’ll gain A LOT of fans for giving Koscheck a beatdown. Can’t wait to see Nate Loughran again as well.
HaHaLol
It was a lot of fun for me too. I was wondering how far I could go before you figured me out. I didn’t want to piss you off though.
Awwww you guys are friends now sweet, just joking haha that stuff was kinda funny
Welcome to the CLUB Rhymeskill15, o and Bobby is super annoying as well I hope that Babalu destroys him if he ever get the oppritunity and take the strap that Bobby doesn’t deserve
hahaha i wasn’t getting mad!
i an a mean prankster so i appreciate good comedy!
that was a good one DOLF…
almost as good as kos’ hair! hahaa jk…
hey did bobby ever fight in the ufc!?!?!?!
GUNSLINGER…
please man…DONT START! LOL
DOLFANG already played some mind tricks on me…
my brain has had enough exercise 4 tha day!!
college is enough!!!!!!!!!!
haha
He fought once I believe in the UFC he lost I think
what a s**t card
I was just looking at somethings and realized. There are three UFC events in December, two of which are free and withing 3 days of each other (Fights for the troops is the 10th and Ultimate Finale is the 13th), then Mir v Nogueira is the 27th. So Pete90…if you’re not happy with the card, don’t watch it, but 3 events in really 3 weeks, 2 free ones the same week, is not much to complain about.
within*
I don’t really care for KOS and have been trying to figure out why. He’s an exciting fighter, strong, athletic and quickly progressing all around. Why do people hate him so bad???
I think I don’t like him because he makes it look so easy. Have you noticed how comfortable he is in the ring???
GO Coree Hill!!! Trained at the same gym in COS CO
