lol took me a sec to realize the pic wasnt real with dana's stance

Koscheck better take a cue from Rashad. Wrestle, wrestle, and more wrestling against Daley. If Kos truely believes he's a good striker, he wont make it out of the first 2 minutes. If Kos gets ahold of Semtex, I see nothing but brutal ground and pound from him.

oh god please let this be. i want to see paul daley knock koscheck's head into 4th row.

i think by now kos has proven he can defeat great strikers wit his wrestling (see fights against lytle, AJ). However, Daley will b the deadliest striker he willl face thus far. Daley claims to have improved his ground game but we dont know by how much b/c nobody has tried taking him down yet. Jake Shields was able to td Daley after a few weak attempts but he did manage to and submit him. Kos may not have Shields BJJ skills, but he is by far a better wrestler and we know how good his gnp is.

Kos took GSP down, he will take Daley down,and either GnP him out, or sub him. Daley has little to no ground game, and no matter what hes done to improve it, it wont equal Kos'. Kos could stand with him, he stood with AJ and did fine. Daley is the better striker but not by much,and I dont think he has much more power then AJ either.

Winner will easily get a shot next. This makes way more sense than Kos vs Thiago rematch.

If Kos sticks with his wrestling, he will win. He has pretty good GnP that he doesn't utilize anymore. If it's a striking battle, the edge does go to Daley as he is such a fluid striker. It'll be fun to watch.

i hope this fight works out because i would love to see Paul knock Kos OUT. Everyones entitled to their own opinion, but i believe in the AJ fight, had the momentum not been thrown off with all the eye poking Bullshit, and having to stop the fight 3 or 4 times, AJ would have whooped Kos.

that being said, i was thinking after the Hazelett fight that i would love to see Semtex VS Rumble. I think it would be a great matchup for a really good fight and some black on black crime. Wish it could have happened.

Thats not fair. AJ poked first, and pretty badly compared to what Kos did. If anything the fight just showed who could come back from adversity better.

I got kos winning this if it happens and he fights smart. Should be able to GnP his way to victory, in the first if he goes hard for it.
