unless Karo can get back to his old self I don't see how he can win, hell even at his best Koscheck would be a terrible fight for him.

Kos still has good TD defense and can still hit hard. If Karo can close the distance Karo can give him fits, with Judo and his sub defense

Karo has had trouble with wrestlers in the past, I think Koscheck is a bad style matchup for him, I'd love to see Karo take it but I don't think he would.

 

[SammyStephens]

Yeah, it would probably end up a LNP fest

 

[dkwrtw]

yup, I don't see Koscheck finishing any version of Karo.

Only chance is to catch him with a hard shot on the feet. Other then that it's all LNP

you gotta think Kos is next in line for a title shot if he wins these next two fights, really sucks, nothing but rematches all around at WW right now unless some new contender comes around.

That is why Anthony Johnson may get a quick shot at the rate he's going

 

[dkwrtw]

if he wins another fight or two hopefully he can pass up fitch and koscheck, nobody wants to see the same 3 or 4 guys fight over and over again.

 

[SammyStephens]

Yeah, just no other guy is stepping up, LW is facing the same problems

 

[dkwrtw]

well after Ken flo there is Diego if he beats Stevenson, then maybe Clay Guida if he can get another big win.

 

[SammyStephens]

Well, there is a stable of guys a step away from a title shot but they keep losing before they get there

 

[dkwrtw]

too bad they can't sign Aoki.

No shit!!

World wide LW is the deepest division

 

[dkwrtw]

sucks they won't cross promote and the best LW's outside the UFC won't sign, I foresee Penn retiring or leaving the UFC very soon.

Agreed completely. Penn may fight two more times. What's on his contract? (like that mattered to him before)

yup, he'll defend against Florian and if he wins that, probably Diego and then he's gone, unless they give him another undeserved rematch with GSP, in which case he gets squashed again and then he's gone.

That is pretty much how I see it. However, I hope Stevenson guillotines Sanchez only because I never want to see Diego's bizarre ass as a main event on a major card ever.

if Stevenson wins that fucks things over, all that's left then is Penn/Sherk 2.

Better then Sanchez on a main event IMO
