I’m not sure I think Koscheck’s standup has improved so significantly" really? that's weird.. seeing as how for a while, kos was getting people on the mat with hooks instead of takedowns.. ever since the show, kos' standup has gotten better and better every single fight.. he can probably outstrike most ww's now.. did you miss him KO'ing McLovin? “Koscheck is a strong force with his wrestling, but standing?

The biggest name may be Kos but they set it up to be a pretty good card. I think Cantwell is a beast for how young the guy is. I think i'm definitely going to have to take Koscheck (i think it will be a tougher fight then most thing, and i wouldn't be shocked if he lost.) Then i'm going to have to go with Swick. I think Matt Wiman gets the win over Miller, Wiman has been suprisingly good since he lost to Spencer Fisher. Cantwell is gonna KO Al-Hussan and Credeur is gonna tap Loughran I just re-went through the card again to see who all was on it and its really not a bad show.

Yoshida's win over Koppenhaver doesn't suggest he'll win against Koscheck, who is a significant step up. Cantwell has to win this one, imo. He has to prove he can compete at 205 in the UFC. I'm a big fan of WEC and still think they should've kept their heavier weight classes, but the WEC fighters at the heavier weights just aren't at the same level as their UFC counterparts. I hope that he and Stann catch on with the UFC, but they have an uphill battle. Koscheck will overwhelm Yoshida and win by TKO or KO.

Although your analysis is on for the most part, Yoshida's time in Cage Force was nothing but pure domination in the cage. He's controlling... VERY controlling once you're on your back, and his ground and pound is tenacious, probably one of the most aggressive ground and pound games I've seen from a Welterweight. In all honesty, Koscheck could have a problem on the ground. Koscheck is a strong force with his wrestling, but standing? I'm not sure I think Koscheck's standup has improved so significantly, but I think you may be right in that Yoshida doesn't have the tools if he can't really do much on the floor.

I wish I they were doing these events when I was in the Marines, would've loved to go. This should be some good free tv.
