Three months away from his UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre Champion title fight, and the week before his debut as a coach on season 12 of "the ultimate fighter," Josh Kosova check know he is the bad guy.Kosova check, its role as a fighter who hate love began on the inaugural season of "The Ultimate Fighter" has many fans always seemed to its own beat to marschieren.Und on Tuesday, he said Ariel Helwani on "The MMA Hour", that will be looked as the villain him regardless.
"" Loved or hated, you know what? it's about making money for me, "said Kosova check.""So when I got to the bad guy making money then I the bad guy will be making money."
Although ended he briefly to say he embraces that villain role MMA fans often, mark it with Kosova check implies at least he could be misunderstood.
"It never me, has tapped from the first day", said Kosova check. "I know who I am as a person."I know the people around me who know me.I'm not here, friends to make I'm here to make money.I have enough Freunde.Die people around me interest me and love me, and it is the same relationship zurück.Ich not try, friends here'm machen.Ich here to earn money. "It's a business."
I think, will make this a sporting event instead of a fight Georges St-Pierre.
-Josh Kosova check
Kosova check deserves his shot at St-Pierre in may in UFC 113 in Montreal - St - Pierre's home Turf.Seinen unanimous decision victory over Paul Daley had all sorts of drama thrown in.Daley threw a knee in the direction of Kosova check's head while Kosova check's knee on the ground - an illegal strike, if it landete.Und although appeared Kosova check on the canvas, replays the knee to show fehlt.Post fight, sucker punched Daley Kosova check after the Bell, which a rapid pink slip from UFC President Dana white deserves.
And while interviewed after winning Joe Rogan, Kosova check took any remote chance he had of love from the Montreal fans and plowed right about it with the announcement of his hometown of Pittsburgh Penguins would hit the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup playoffs and that he would soon hit St-Pierre. On his way from the arena, he was under fire from the fans. "I beer that is thrown at me, popcorn it was fantastic," said Kosova check.
Kosova check had no idea if he got his second shot at St-Pierre (he lost a unanimous decision to him at UFC 74 in August 2007), he did back in Montreal.UFC 124 held 11 finds at the Bell Centre on Dec., as first reported by MMA fighting.
But Kosova check said, makes the situation to him.
"I honestly no matter where we are fighting, really," said Kosova check. "I will fight anywhere." So, it looks like I'm going back to Montreal. Montreal - the fans are - and I have a wonderful relationship.And I appreciate the opportunity to become the next welterweight champion. ..."I'm gonna irrespective of having fun, whether it really care war.Ich in Pittsburgh, Vegas or Montreal me not."
Kosova check declined in comparison to St-Pierre, which debuts Wednesday on Spike TV after UFC fight night 22 easy to say that "it was a good experience" and fans should respond to see every possible interaction between him and St-Pierre many details about his coaching stint the show "The Ultimate Fighter".
But he was much less reluctant about the recent controversy with comments referee, Yves Lavigne allegedly about Kosova check's chances against St-Pierre in a story in Canoe.com made.Although Lavigne, later denied the MMA hour, ever an interview on the site, and the story was removed, Kosova check was adamant that the he never fight a competition of Lavigne officiated.
Lavigne Helwani later told the show: "I give him an interview on or off record.""Who are my quotes."
But as Lavigne also said, "The damage was done."Kosova check went on to say, he believes that Lavigne should be the reigning business.
"" Yves Lavigne, whether he it or not, not with my career, I take this type of risk, either said to have which could have said such things about me (Mein Kampf amtierenden), Guy ", said Kosova check.So I to good referee stick will: Josh Rosenthal, herb Dean - these two guys ref can my fighting anyone not ref everything allowed would never see day which week ....(Avril_Lavigne) should be, a professional sports such as the NFL and NBA (have) an official to say something like that, and in fact still retain their jobs."
As for his next task at hand, the title shot against St-Pierre, Kosova check said it expected that a different battle from your first meeting.
"" I think that differ this fight because of the fact I have matured and become as a fighter, ", said Kosova check."I think, will.Ich make white Georges St-Pierre a sporting event instead of a fight, he goes me down to try and put on mich.Also I really focused on all realistic to sein.Georges is a complete Kämpfer.Er has definitely standup fähigkeit.Aber I think he has some weaknesses."
(Ed note: Watch the last week episode of the MMA-hour below.)
It is appropriate, his last could be that we have so time wrestler discuss much and rings on MMA fight because tonight marks the return of Antonio McKee in a fight against this week, he claims.When Luciano Azevedo MFC 26 as almost all his other battles gone is his struggle, are (i.e. what a decision victory and an anaesthetized audience), who is boring unapologetically MMA fans from Tokyo to New Jersey during his 11 year career, he'll according to McKee, withdraw.
As he told me back in July: "I said, if it's a decision and it's a boring decision I in the ruhestand.Wenn this fight the fight of the night is retired I." "Basically, if I not out there to go and a show only destroy and destroy this guy then I'm done."
Why? not because he does not believe it more can compete. He's pretty sure he can not only compete but other more or less easily dominate each on the planet, even at the age of 40.
No, he says that he will stop because he, for which waited to develop sport and at least as far as he is not concerned.
By developing, I think, it means he waited for fans all together wake up one morning and discover that love to see takedowns and ground control.Bafflingly, has done this yet.
Whether he it or didn't know is McKee was exactly the kind of fighters who speak Dan Hardy if it implies that some wrestlers in violation of the MMA rule against "Timidity." be McKee takes people down, works a little ground and pound, makes very little obvious effort to stop (he is admitted as much in the past), and relies on the judges him the victory.
It's not exciting, but it is effective.Can say much McKee's record has betrachten.Er no battle lost since 2003 (over to diamonds Parisyan... wait for it...) (decision) Although he exactly the cream of the crop has been fighting either not.
But for those of us who defended ply the wrestler's right to his trade in MMA, McKee presented a philosophical problem.His commitment to fighting without ever at risk or even with entertaining fans to win is so complete that it almost borders abuse the scoring system.His salary is paid by fans who want to be entertained, and yet he has never (until now, anyway) hoped you a show.
Seems not, I don't know somehow wrong?
Short answer: Ja.Lange answer: maybe, but the only what worse than watching an Antonio McKee rules fight, this kind of fight would be an impossible rendering manipulation.
I feel about McKee's style and his defence of it the same way I feel about the people who say idiotic things and then claim first amendment protection.In other words, I personally enjoy it, but I respect your right to leveling damage we do would by trying, to stop it would damage far which our delicate sensibilities is done by sitting by it.What he is doing is legal.It is fair.Es is simply fun.
The truth is, McKee is paid a price for his fighting style hat.Er 24-3-2, he has a 10-fight winning strip going and it still takes some outrageous speak and a retirement threat for him which MMA worldwide attention to bekommen.Er may very well be the greatest fighter who would like to see no one and he has only itself to blame.
McKee, doesn't seem surprised, a little bitter darüber.Er will tell you that fans want just blood and then say in the next sentence is not he furiously on fans but the other fighters, the envious will tell sind.Er on him, it is the result of racism, then say it's not about race, at least in his Fall.Auf this way his interviews are more than his fights often entertaining, even if only because so confusing.
But McKee's career is purgatory mainly due to an unofficial fan referendum on his Stil.Seine got their chance wrestling-centric tactics in the marketplace of ideas, and consumers decided she liked it about as much as Crystal Pepsi.McKee dear fans would say what he thinks, as try want what he already knows how to be.
Thats Ordnung.Es is not his Vorrecht.Aber means that someone sorry, complains for him as he is about should feel overlooked.
And when this career ends - theoretically - with another boring performance in Canada today evening, well, that would almost be a fitting way for him to go: lying above on an opponent, while the amount of licences hits.
