Dan Hardy on Josh Koscheck: "He's not in a position to be calling for a title."
by Jason Benfari on November 26, 2009

"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.

One thing is to trash talk the oponnent you are actually going to fight, but this is... mike5k: I've only recently warmed up to Hardy a little for the reasons mentioned but this is more his style. I will say this though; Koscheck started this one. AND, when Hardy loses to GSP this grudge match can bring some noteriety to a card and earn him some coin. They should both keep talking. Ceelarence: Wow. This definatly just killed my views on Hardy. He is quite arrogant. Not to mention, I dont think he could really do anything against Kos let alone impose his will. thats just me tho alexbond: Guys... He's hyping a potential match up and you're all falling for it. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. arlovskiviako: Actually what he is doing is preparing for his fight after he loses to GSP. The loss is imminent, whether he wants to have a fight set up after it or not is his choice.
