UFC 90 Fight Video of Josh Koscheck Vs. Thiago Alves. The MMA event took place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. |
Great fight. Alves is a tough dude, but Koscheck really showed that he is also very tough. He took a lot of shots and kept coming.
Awesome fight!
alvez srtaight up picked his ass apart.. he deserves to fight gsp that would be a crazy fight
Mike Goldberg is such a douchebag. He’s Mr. Obvious. “Superman punch”, his favorite saying.
I used to hate Koscheck, but this fight really showed his heart. great fight. Those leg kicks…
Koscheck is still the man!
Thiago Alves really deserves a a title shot now i would really love to see him agaisnt either GSP or BJ
Alves deserves a title shot a lot more than bj in my opinion. the only peope BJ has beat since coming back to lightweight is joe stevenson and sean sherk. although those were impressive victories i do not think that BJ is that superior of a fighter to move up in a weight class and just get a title shot because he is a lightweight champ that has only successfully defended his title against one person (sean sherk)
thiago alves on the other hand has knocked out a lot of people and i think he has a really good chance in beating GSP.
dont get me wrong, i like BJ penn, he is a god on the ground and his stand up is just as good as his jiu jitsu. but i think the ufc needs to build him up more in the welterweight division before he gets a shot at GSP.
B O R I N G !
I thought Josh knew how to take someone down.
Alves is going to get slaughtered in any title fight.
domination! Good heart though!
That was some brutal leg kicks! And really good takedown defense from Alves, I don’t how he’s gonna do against GSP.
im glad that douchebag got his ass handed to him.
Gezzus! Josh has improved his stand up alot. I thought he was gonna shoot for the takedown the whole fight. I guess I was wrong. great fight.
why would bj get a title shot at 170? all he’s done at welterweight is lost twice since he came back.
If you thought that was boring you need to find another sport to watch/follow. Maybe WWE?
yeah that was a top notch exciting fight, dont matter that there was no sub/ko
Koscheck might not have been able to take Thiago down, but you can bet GSP will…the only question is will GSP eat a knee during one of the attempts….as athletic as Koscheck is, and as talented, GSP is still on another level…should be a great fight, and I’d much rather see GSP vs. Thiago than GSP vs. BJ Penn..

Those leg kicks were devestating
That fight was far from boring. Thiago Alves showed why they call him “Pitbull.” Koschecks legs are probably gonna be sore for weeks! Like many others have already, said gotta respect him for his heart.
lytle, karo, hughes, now kos. i think he’s earned a title shot.
wow, major respect for thiago and kos, great fight.
Great fight. I feel that BJ shouldnt be able to jump into a title fight with GSP. I know it will be a big money maker for UFC yet I feel GSP should defend his title with guys in his own weight class. Silva hasnt gone straight to 205 and took on the champ. I don’t thinks it right and Alves should get his shot before BJ.
Great fight.
Chicago sports fans are obnoxious and have 0 class. Booing the entire fight? What a bunch of idiots. Good fight by the way, Koscheck gained some respect in my book for the heart he showed.
i was rooting for koscheck, but those leg kicks from alves were sick!
diego is a pussy!
Great fight. I’d like to see him get a shot at the title.
I was shocked at how dominate Alves looked. Even though his TD defense has been excellent since the Karo fight (and maybe earlier), I thought Kos’ would put him down and control him for most of the fight. He definitely deserves to fight GSP, but I guess he’ll wait in line as Penn satisfies his giant ego by moving up after ONE 155 title defense. Anderson defends his title against seemingly outclassed opponents, but not “the immortal” Baby J. I hope he gets humbled by GSP!
alves looked good here but he isnt ready for gsp. and i agree bj penn shouldnt get a title shot at welter weight, just let gsp and penn dominate their divisions for a while. theres a lot of talent in both divisions.
bush,
I’m not a fan of Diego the spiritual nut, but Diego the fighter is possibly of the most exciting and aggressive fighters in the UFC. Just check out his fights against Nick Diaz and Karo and his knockouts of Luigi and Riggs and revisit your “Diego is a pussy” comment.
Remember that he was fighting a brutal staff infection when he fought Kos and was the much busier fighter in his loss to Fitch- constantly looking for submissions. I know I’ll be flamed for this, but I truly believe that with his mental toughness and aggressiveness, Diego could hold his own against GSP in an epic match.
josh had a short notice. He did well for the time he had. GSP will kill thiago. It will be a display of perfection.
WeakStick: wow dude with comments like that its a wonder why do you even watch MMA
WOW Arianny is beautiful….oh yea, the fight.
awesome fight, thiago looked very impressive. even though i hate koscheck, i gotta admit he has tremendous heart he took some punishment and was still in the fight.

I thought Josh knew how to take someone down.

What fight was this douchebag watching?
No wonder Diego didn’t want to fight this guy.
Wow, great fight from both but Thiago Alves was a beast. I thought Josh was going to throw caution to the wind at the end and just go for it but he sorta just wanted it to end.. Great fight though from both. Two warriors.
WHAT! First of all GSP will get KO’d by Alves.
Second, BJ is the man but he is so hyped it’s insane. I love BJ Penn but damn man. He totally gassed against Hughes and he fought to the death with GSP. He may finally be as good as he’s supposed to be. That being said, we’ll see what he does against GSP if that happens. If he doesn’t dominate GSP then it’s just the same old BJ. Like someone said above he’s only rocked Sherk and Stevenson. At 155? WEAK!
I thought Josh was getting the better of the standup for a little while.
Great fight. I figured if Alves won it’d be by KO but Koscheck held his own for sure. He just got out struck by a stronger apponent.
josh has really grown up! in every aspect fighting and not being so cocky.
diego is not a pussy, he is one hell of a fighter! he’s also not a fucking idiot, and when he’s really hurt he won’t take on a savage like alves.
gsp is the champ and a champ for a good reason . thiago is good but not good enoughf. finch beat him and so did fisher i know anything can happen but keep it real gsp will ground and pound thiago till he gets the tko.
thiago wins over gsp HA!thiago walks around at like 200+ pds he should go 2 middle weight where he can be faster and stronger for his fights
Such a great fight! Wasn’t much of a fan of Koscheck, but after this fight I have alot more respect for him.
fast upload thanks… bruno youre the best!!!

I don’t understand how BJ gets to have a title shot moving up and Anderson Silva doesn’t. Makes no sense. I think if you move up, you should start from scratch just like anyone else; it’s a different kind of game.
GSP is much better than BJ and Koscheck, but he tends to be careless (remember Serra). Alves is not as good as GSP, but he could win the fight if he takes advantage of that.
Someone mentioned that Thiago is getting too big for this class, but have you seen GSP in the last fight? He is becoming a monster! If he can keep his speed and flexibility with that amount of muscle mass, he can definitely start to look for an upper class title…
i think thiago has a way to go before hes ready for gsp he hasn’t really been taken down by a great wrestler in a while but i think he can learn and grow and koscheck is a ducshe
koschecks got one hell of a chin, that knee was right on the bottom of his jaw, respect
ALVES vs GSP !!!!
I dont believe anyone in the welter weight dvision is ready for GSP, that includes Thiago and BJ. Thiago made some mistakes that could have cost him the fight and GSP will capitalize on those mistakes
koscheck’s stand up improved so much since tuf.alves is a beast and much stronger than him that contributed alot on this fight.he wanted to take him to the ground and juz drown his ass in the deep waters but he couldnt.good TD defence on alves part tho.yall think he’s ready for GSP or wat??and them nasty leg kicks man..if you fightin alves better drink ur milk and stack up on some calcium if you dont want your leg to shatter in pieces
and it was actually a better move for thiago alves to move up weight..haha..when he moved up to welterweight i thought that was a dumb move on his part.
I agree. Alves deserves the title shot more than BJ, But BJ is a better opponent than Alves. Kos could have won that fight if he transitioned. There were several times in the pocket where KOS did very well and then stayed standing instead of using Alves clam defense as a way to take him down. GSP won’t be so kind. That’s what makes him such a bad opponent. GSP will engage on the feet and the second you are ready to counter his strikes he is at your knee taking you to the ground…
I cant wait for GSP and Thiago to fight. Thiago earned a lot of respect from me after this fight. I hoestly do not like either koscheck or alves, but alves simply destroyed kos. I do not care what anybody ses, what any fight analyst, or any nuthugger ses; GSP is going destroy Alves. GSP is better at every aspect. His striking is crisp, takedowns crisp, take down deffense crisp, and stanima crisp. GSP beat BJ already so I do not have to hear about Alves any more.
Josh is suppose to be a wrestler than he needs to start wrestling. He has OK stand up but he is no Mual Thai expert. He needs to stick to what go him to the big show.
i like both of these guys!! but i knew alves would be too much for koscheck to handle..cant wait til alves vs gsp !!!! gsp all the way!! hahahaha
I don’t see nothing
