^^ Well, that line has been all over the place, at one point Struve was an underdog. I think this fight is a case of a question mark versus and established C+ guy. I don't think there is anyway to reliably cap it, but I would take Struve just because he has shown he can weather some storms, he can go 3 rounds, and he has at least passable striking and submissions.

are those from McCorkle's twitter or something? He's not funny and trying too hard...

"Koscheck jumps in from far away," Roach told FightHubtv.com. "I told (Georges) to not pull away from that and beat that on the counter. I told him, 'I think you'll knock him out with the left hook in that fight.'"

Just watched Alves/Koscheck. Alves rocked and almost finished Koscheck from a left hook counter in this exact same situation.

^ thanks. I did it as a tribute to you and as self imposed fine for thinking that Hendricks could beat GSP.

First thing I thought of after I watched the Roach video. There is little doubt in my mind that GSP can stop KOS if he takes Roach's advice. But if he does, he will leave himself open for takedowns.

I actually think GSP should keep this fight standing. I think he is the much more polished striker, and really only has to worry about the overhand right.

I think this is probably true. He really just needs to go the same route he went with Fitch where he keeps it on the feet and tags Kos over and over. The difference though, as you imply in your post, is that Kos has a certain KO ability that Fitch lacks.

Totally agree. Kos is simply a more dangerous fighter than Fitch as it pertains to GSP.

His real name is Jesse.

I think GSP will come in wanting to mix it up. He will probably do what he did with Alves... some rounds he will stand and some he will go for the TD.

I think GSP wins, but Kos is the only play at the current line. I am actually considering betting Kos... The problem is that I don't see how Kos wins other than a fluke shot.

His real name is Jesse.

I don't even know how you know that. I am also an uncle and kind of fat. I am also very wise like uncle Jesse. Although I have never worn overalls even once in my life.

It was in some bjj video of you that you posted awhile back. I only remember because I looked up your website. I don't buy that you don't wear overalls.

ah. That makes sense...

overalls are kind of a badass article of clothing, they pants/suspenders/tank top all in one. They can be worn with or without shirt.

But although I have lived in some fairly rural areas, I have always been in the suburbs. I wouldn't know what to do with some overalls. When I was in Jr. High, some kids would wear their Guess overalls with one strap hanging, which (even at my impressionable young age) I knew was incredibly gay. I pegged my pants like a champ though.
