The legend, UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes, will try to defuse the high-octane attack of top welterweight contender Josh Koscheck in one of the division's most intriguing matchups.
@@Chrisrpg1980 the technique tito used in that fight im shocked people don’t still use. He stacked ken against the cage so his head wasn’t as far away and elbowed tf out of him from guard. Didn’t even bother passing and finished him. Tito was better than people give him credit for
I like how they play Koscheck off like he's a villain by design! He's a villain because he's caught on camera faking being kneed in the face! People boo him because they know he's a fraud!
Yeah that's true his not a villain .from the start of his career...he really plays a villain but that's how they made him... lol for the eyes of the crowd.but look how after he knocks out Hughes ...the humble face the thankful one for the living he receives ...but suddenly facial expressions changes for seconds to become a villain again....that's how they make him.to be hated the talent was true and natural its given to him the athleticism the strength and power all natural in him but!:) he always to be a villain like the joker ...like everybody wants the batman has to beat him...!:)
@@templarrising6299 josh is very different from the diaz bros. Kills me to even hear you lump them in with kosh. Kosh is a fraud weirdo. Faked a illegal knee strike like a chump
Got a bad rap? he's incredibly unlikable. Hate to see him win like this even. I like the Diaz bros. though; especially Nick. Urija Faber and Nick were my faves.
I was just casually reading Koscheck's record and couldn't believe my eyes when I read he beat Matt Hughes...had to watch it for myself cuz I somehow missed this..
Hughes was part of the older generation of fighters where wrestling and ground and pound ruled, and you didn’t need to know how to strike. Then he started facing wrestlers he couldn’t take down and who had better striking skills, so he was fucked. Tito Ortiz the same thing.
Danny Holder debatable. The best wrestler he faced in his “prime” was Sean Shark who is too small for WW. Again I think Hughes is great but he benefited from just being a better wrestler than the competition and was a horrible striker. When other wrestlers with better striking entered the mix Hughes was obsolete.
Tough crowd!! The exchanges and head movement was exciting to me. If they just tried to take each other down and roll around, I’m sure you’d be complaining too. What were you hoping to see?
Matt Hughes was, is, and will always be one of my favorite fighters of all time... Re his accident which many people have commented about, two things: 1. Matt is a fighter. He will recover like no other 2. Think about this, one minute he is driving along happy and content. The next he is fighting for his life and left to fight harder than he ever had to in the ring to get back what he had. Think about that, friend, every day that the Good Lord gives us is "GIFT"!
Yu couldn't b more wrong.. I'm simply saying that in the main event he does the most.. "THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING" ringing any bells causal??
Joel Bowers no, it’s not, but idiots like you are up to their usual idiocy in the comment section. They can’t recommend every interesting video to you all the time, you pathetic piece of garbage

That's a false statement. Knockout power is knockout power. MMA hasn't "evolved" it's just newer fighters in their prime. They get new talent every year that are good in their trained specialties. Chuck Liddell in his prime could still knockout half of these new fighters. You can't compare the past to present. All the big names from 2005-2012 were beasts and the best of their time. People still say Mike Tyson can beat everyone today in his prime easily.
Beastmode GTFOH, that's complete bullshit. The divisions today are trash, when these 2 guys were around there was loads of talent in all divisions and they were all good. The 2005 to 2013 era shits on today's era, not even comparable don't try.
Area S4 no disrespect to Josh because he’s a good fighter too, but you’re a biased idiot if you really think that. 33yo Matt Hughes would’ve broke Koscheck down.
i remember i was at the 2003 or 4 ring of combat and thats when i first seen koscheck,he was on the card fighting one of matt serras guys, i knew just by the way he moved he was gonna go far in MMA. he just had IT
Whew that was the drained out welterweight rumble... if they had fought at LHW or HW, which is rumbles walk around weight, it would’ve been a different story
The UFC doesn’t but MMA trainers actively scout D1 wrestlers right out of college to get them ready for the MMA. Johnny Hendricks is an example of a D1 wrestler that was scouted out of college and provided room and board by his trainers until he became champ and they could recoup their money with a profit. College wrestlers are the most successful discipline in MMA, look at the upcoming title fight between Usman and Covington, both D1 I believe.
Terry Mason Usman is so dominant with his wrestling I just assumed he was D1. I just recently got into watching collegiate wrestling so I’m not familiar with with some of the wrestlers from a few years back. I guess MMA is more about how you adapt your wrestling than what division you were in, guys like Kevin Lee do pretty well even from a smaller school.
@@fuchboi872 yeah I know guys like Bob Cook go after D1 guys. Seems like a lot of the big name guys are looking to go straight into mma after 2020. Bo, Gwiz, cassar just to name a few.

man Kos's record here is 18-5. People don't realize how fucking good he was in his prime all because he ended up becoming a walking punchline. He deserves a lot more respect, he gave us a lot of great fights and entertainment. Yeah he faked a knee and could be a douche bag, but he's not a rapist or a women beater etc. Put some respect on the mans career
Matt boxed well but kos just needed to land that one shot . Sometimes just being the better boxer isn't everything .. some times just winging em gits the job done
