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.
"He has denied doing the interview it has denied never to say the comments," said Kosova check."Whether it should be on the plate or off the record, an arbitrator is never a fighter publicly erklären.Yves Lavigne can suck his opinion on my (expletive) it will never REF, which again only due to the fact that.. its opinion my existence could affect me, and this is not fair."It is not correct.People are out there say 'Josh Kosova check tried Lavigne, Yves fired get.'"No, Yves Lavigne got opening released from his mouth, if it does."
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."
