    The sport needs bad guys. They make the fight more interesting. People tune in and the ufc makes millions from people waiting to see the outcome. I enjoy what he has done for the sport. His last fights were very entertaining. GSP is good but I didn’t care 2 see him out wrestle another fighter for 5 boring rounds again… the bad guys draw attention for the sport.

    I was soooo glad to see this fool get his arse whipped by GSP! He is such a douche and always trying to belittle others – even the medical assitant guy in Ultimate Fighter was going to put a “whomping” on his arse! He is what the sport is not about, especially with “bullying” making headlines on a national level. I am sooo thrilled GSP kept his wits and let his hands worked their magic and magic it was! Look at the fools eye – now, who’s the little bitch and believe me, it’s not GSP,,,HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    “Koscheck was once quoted saying “Matt Hughes is slow, he’s a farm boy and he’s white.” This comment about the former UFC welterweight champion caused some outrage over the internet.”

    Funny statement after GSP (whitest guy on the planet) pummeled him last night

    I wrestled at Waynesburg and Josh was cocky and arrogant then. Maybe he will learn to be humble now that a slow white boy whipped him badly.

      Actually GSP aint the whitest guy on the planet because he loves black people and black women, Gabrielle Union is his dream women- So dippin in all that chocolate probably gave him his fast fight style lol!

    He’s actualy 1/2 asshole 1/2 douchebag

    • Ashley says:

      HA… ain’t that the truth!!! the whole time he was on TUF he proved how much of an asshole/ douchebag he really is… the way he disrespected GSP on TUF will be the same way karma (GSP) comes back to kick him in his ass!!! and it will be a well deserved beating I don’t wanna miss… ;)
