This is one reason why KOS is my fav fighter - he just had a brutal 3 rd fight with Alves and now wants to do it again 2 months later…love it!
I wonder what other fights they will show - unless its 1 hr long!! But I have to guess that atleast 2 undercard fights will be shown. Personally, I want to see Ben Saunders fight because I think he is going to make noise in 09…and I guess Cantwell…should be interesting to see if he can do anything in the UFC..
Good for Kos, but I believe he might want to keep this one standing Yoshida might just sub him if it goes to the ground
Even tho this isn’t a great card its better than that bankrupt company ever put on
I suspect they’ll end up scheduling a fourth fight for the main card. If they don’t add a fight, they’ll at least move one from the prelims to the main. Definitely have to give props to Kos for keeping this fight. I still wish this was open to the public….I can’t justify a 90 minute drive just to go to the weigh-ins.
war kos, this dude is growing on me. He wants to fight the best, and always gives it his all. He is a true warrior.
finally kos is getting some love i never thought ide see the day, ive always been a kos fan an hope he gets back on track with a win,
F Kos
I will bring back the anti Kos bergade JohnBoy don’t you worry
Even tho I’m not a fan of his, mad respect for getting his asss whooped and coming back to fight in the Dec show, a lot of fighters ie Bisbing wouldn’t do such a thing ( aww see what I did there, sorry Johnboy just had to go the extra mile) cheers my friend
yeah ur right FR bisping wouldn’t do that because he will never get his arse kicked haha
Hahahahaha, that’s a good one forsure JohnBoy righton
i laugh at the thought of bisping.
It is a shame that with a stacked 205 lhw division that they could not put a quality match from that division on for our troops. I bet you Houston Alexander would fight anyone on that night. They should try and market each division on a fight night.
