This is KOS last UFC fight on his contract. Will prob be last we see of Kos in the UFC, unless he goes to Bellator. Hopefully he ends his career on a win.

After the performance in his last fight, I have no interest in seeing Kos fight again.

I read that Benson Henderson offered to take this fight against Silva. I would have much rather seen that go down.

I saw that too, I think Bendo would have spanked Silva.

Does Kos have a bad gambling problem or something? LOl... Talk about short notice agreements for a pay day?

Even Tyson and Ali took fights in the end for paydays.. Even some multi millionaires filed for bankruptcy at some point with big names - let's take Donald Trump for example as he comes to mind...
Can't blame Kos for stepping up and taking the payday so soon though.. He's in shape at worst still...

I will say this - It gets very expensive to keep up that rich life style when the big Zuffa income checks stop coming in like they use too.. You get broke, desperate and in debt fast... Not easy going from riches to poverty but it's humbling and that could be a good ting for most... You get grounded...

After this loss to Silva I'm still not so sure Kos could win in Bellator like Karo and Tito Ortis have been doing off and on in recent years...
Bellator promoters start booking fights now.. Kos is coming

Jon Fitch found success against Erick Silva.

Kos and Fitch are AKA buddies.

Kos might implement the same gameplan his training buddy used to get the W.

Ben Saunders is a stand up fighter.

If Erick Silva only trained his stand up and didn't prepare to face a high level wrestler, it is possible Kos could catch him unprepared.

You need your sanity checked my friend.

Don't underestimate the Kos.

Silva has shown a suspect gas tank, a suspect chin and suspect takedown defense.

Killer_Demo · 03-09-15, 03:37 PM

Kos skills are deminishing but he still has his wrestling-background. If Kos doesn't use his wrestling Kos will lose.

JIBBBY · 03-09-15, 07:25 PM

Kos is a CAN guys, come on man!!!..

He tried shooting against Ellenhamburger and looked off, untimely, etc.. Kos lost his wrestling and fighting mojo years ago.. He's fighting on a name right now.. His standup looks horrible, he can't take a punch anymore and his MMA wrestling has abandoned him completely..

Honestly fellas when is the last time we've seen Kos successfully take someone down and keep em on their backs for half a round or more? I can't remember as it's been a VERY long time...

Kos is done fellas.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Josh-Koscheck-9418

I'd honestly be shocked if he beat Eric Silva who himself really isn't all that good.. We were saying that same thing about Jake Ellenberger before that fight and Jake took out Kos with ease... Made him foam at the mouth....

That's keeping it real with Kos...

As well as Kos I think Baszler is done too.

Probably get better odds for Nunes than Erik Silva

i took Kos last fight thinking he had some hunger left after a long layoff. He is a finished fighter. The guy is starting to fight like Lesnar at the end of his career. Afraid to get hit. Talking about concussions after his career is done. He will probably go balls to the wall for the first minute then fall the first time he gets hit in the face. The guy has nothing left. Collecting his last paycheck here. the simple fuk had an opportunity to have a nice career on Fox but he opened his mouth about a union for fighters and that is a big no no for the Fertita scab crew.

You're forgetting one important fact, KOS is NOT fitch! Kos is 100% fade material at this point..have you not been watching his fights? It really doesn't matter who the penetrate he has training him, kos doesn't like to get hit, sucks at stand up...and I don't see him out wrestling silva.

fade material! How can anybody bet this chicK? Wayyy toooo unreliable..especially in the ufc where the comp is a step up.

uggh, side note : last night killed me..pettis ruined my night (parlays) and lost over 6 units.

Kos may be relishing the opportunity to play in Brazil.

too many washed-up fighters in ufc-mma now
