Koscheck: Quitting Was Not An Option
UFC welterweight contender Josh Koscheck took home an impressive submission victory over fast-rising prospect Anthony Johnson Saturday at UFC 106 in Las Vegas, but it was a painful victory for the American Kickboxing Academy product. Johnson had thumbed the 4X NCAA All-American wrestler in his left eye. Koscheck questioned the decision to give Dan Hardy first crack at welterweight championship title held by Georges St. Pierre, and Hardy, sitting ringside, mocked Koscheck with fake tears as he pleaded his case in the Octagon. Koscheck told Sherdog.com “You know, I’m just going to let my fights speak for me and maybe just shut my mouth up for once.”
