Look at that Lytle fight, we know who the true warrior is. It must be nice being a blanket like that. Running away scared in the final seconds from a true warrior. The difference, no true MMA fan see's a warrior in Koscheck, he even wants to fight BJ Penn. Who doesn't? Just that scared look that Kos gets in his eyes when he's losing is worth it and when the Prodigy is licking Koschecks blood off of his gloves maybe Kos will shut up . When Hughes manhandles him? Who does this kid think he is? We all know that Kos is a pansy. Look at that Lytle fight, we know who the true warrior is. It must be nice being a blanket like that.

there are lucky punches..

Why would josh put everything on the line just for another fight with Nightmare? He's ranked higher than Nightmare and thats all that matters to him. It would do nothing for his rankings if he fought Nightmare right now and thats the bottom line. Now Matt Hughes, thats another story. Sam, I hit about 5 sites 5 times a day (work sucks, long story) and I must say that I find your sight to be my favorite. Keep up the great work!

I think the staff infection did have something to do with that loss. I mean this is a job. Any normal person would have called off work that day. The fact that he still fought just shows his commitment to the sport. Josh says he made excuses for losing the fight. Well then Josh can stop making excuses for ducking him! He can call it "fighting on his terms" all he wants! Give Diego a rematch if he's so damn good! The fact is he wants a title shot and knows there is a good chance Diego will beat him!

Also I visit the website just about 5 times a day. Love the site and your guys do a great job on keeping us informed on the exciting news that happens in MMA. Just a side note....I encourage anyone who is a big Chuck Liddell fan as I am to go out and pick up his book. It really paints a great picture of a mma fighter before and after his fights win or lose. Also its cool to learn some of there family back ground into there past and what drives them to be the best. Seacrest OUT! Sam,

He has a way of working people up. Just look at some of the replies so far. People are admitting that they want to see him lose/get KO'd/whatever. Whether you like him or loathe him, he's gotten a lot of people to care about him in one way or another. His fights don't interest me much so I'm mostly apathetic towards him personally. I'll catch one of his fights if I hear that its good, but I don't rush to order a PPV to see them. The worst thing that a fan could do for him is to not care and not pay attention and Kos knows it.

Thank You. Ive practically abandoned the two other sites I used to frequent for MMA news. (Theres another site which I frequent because i like their forum) I'm NOT a KOS fan. In fact I pretty much root for whomever he's fighting. That being said, IMO it was a very good interview. He came across as honest and to the point. Was it just me, or did he hold back a lil about Randy? Sam. 5oz is my fav MMA site. Thank You. Ive practically abandoned the two other sites I used to frequent for MMA news.

A lot of sites just parrot the same sources, so I come here to find things that Dann isn't covering. You write well, cover original stories and interviews, and are polite to readers. I'm guessing there's quite a few readers that agree with me, but generally avoid commenting due to the Internet-Tough™ halfwits that this sport attracts in droves. Use the site statistics as the standard of reader satisfaction, not a vocal minority. Keep up the great work. Sam,

That being said... he stand up didn't impress me in the slightest. he has absolutely no head movement. he looked like a rock em sock em robot out there. you just can't hit the guy cause he is so quick and athletic that he can back up and make you miss.. eventually he will get caught with a highlight reel KO i really really really hate kos! but i will say this… he has amazing wrestling skillz and he could have EASILY took Hazelett down and dry humped him to a boring victory, but he didn’t he came out a stood with him.
