LOL yeah I didnt want to admit "Kos" (fruity lol) status but he looked like a beast last night,I have no doubt he would wreck through Burkman and will probably be stepping up against someone of Riggs caliber his next fight...I see him being a major threat to Hughes (Or anyone holding the title) But I root for him to be the first death in UFC every fight he fights

I really dont buy into Kos. He just best a guy that got Knocked Out in 11 seconds a couple fights ago. He has to beat someone before he gets ranked. Burkman beat Neer and Neer is one tough SOB. I see Burkman beating Kos because he is a much more compelete fighter.

I dissagree with that statement, I am 99% sure Kos would simply own Neer to the fullest and I probably own Berkman also (I like Berkman and his game will improve at a rapid pace being at team punishment) but if not, at least beat him if not ownage. Kos would have his numer becasue they are both wrestlers but Kos is certainly the stronger wrestler, heavier hands or equally heavy hands and standup game is pretty equal.

Not sure of eithers sub skills, Berkman may have the advantage there but I would seriously doubt Berkman can spring up like Lister and lock on an arm bar so Berkman would lose that fight via brutal GNP.

Kos will move up rapidly in the WW division now. Likely face Riggs next, that would be a good test for him but he will throw Riggs around the ring now that Riggs has dropped all that weight and is only having to drop 4 pounds each fight as opposed to his normal 25 lbs.

Koscheck definitely looked like a monster last night.

Goulet is no joke, he did get caught by Bang Ludwig, however anyone getting hit clean like that would get KO'ed.

Koscheck got unlucky with his KO loss to Fickett. I think that he definitely needs a legit opponent next in the vein of Fitch, Burkman, Neer, Riggs or Karo to determine where he stands in the pecking order.

His striking has vastly improved and suprised the hell out of me that he stopped Goulet with strikes in the first round. He's world class when it comes to his wrestling no doubt and seems to be putting the rest of his game together.

I am really interested to see where he goes from here.

[Ryan in the House]

Provided that Sean Sherk is no longer in the division:

1. Hughes
2. St. Pierre
3. Penn
4. Sanchez
5. Parisyan
6. Fitch
7. Koscheck
8. Riggs
9. Petz
10. Alves

I'd like to see Riggs vs. Koscheck, and Fitch vs. Parisyan. That'd solve a lot of questions.

You don't think Goulet has a weak chin at all? I know have saw him buckle 3 different times against 3 different people in UFC.

Koscheck definately looked improved on his stand up. I always thought in the Ultimate Fighter that he didn't look like he had very much power behind his stand up game, but landed some good shots in his last fight. I cannot wait for him to fight maybe Diego Sanchez. I think it's a good matchup, but the superior guard of Diego would probably hold him victorious.
