"The thing I've realized about Josh Koscheck is that he's kind of like a turd that won't flush away. He kind of wins a fight, and you think he's doing alright. Then he loses a fight and you think he's done, and then he wins a fight. He's always kind of floating around and he never really does anything. He thinks he deserves a shot as GSP, but he's 3-2 in his last five fights, so he's not really in a position to be calling for a title shot. The guy's just a bit of a dick. I never get bored watching him get punched in the face though, so that's always a bonus to see him keep fighting... I'm confident I'd be able to do pretty much what I like in [a fight with Koscheck] and he still wouldn't be able to win." - Dan Hardy

UFC welterweight contender Dan Hardy shoots back at fellow contender Josh Koscheck after Koscheck called him out in post fight comments at UFC 106 last Saturday.

Koscheck made the remarks moments after earning a submission victory over the highly regarded Anthony Johnson; basically stating that Hardy didn't deserve a proposed title shot with the divisions' champion Georges St. Pierre and that he, not Hardy, was the divisions' true number one contender.

However, despite Koscheck's dissent, it appears that the UFC is moving forward with plans to send Hardy up to the gallows against St. Pierre, who is perhaps the sports most dominant champion. The two are tentitavely scheduled to meet at UFC 111 in New Jersey some time next March.
