Josh Koscheck’s request to swoop in and save the day once again for the UFC was denied this time around.
After an injury forced welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre to pull out of his UFC 137 bout with Carlos Condit, the former title contender took to Twitter to offer his services as a replacement.
“Hey, duty calls again?” Koscheck tweeted to UFC President Dana White on Tuesday.
A month ago, Koscheck stepped in for an injured Diego Sanchez two weeks out from a scheduled bout with Matt Hughes.
Despite taking the fight on short notice, Koscheck earned a first round knockout over the UFC Hall of Famer.
White respects Koscheck’s enthusiasm and willingness to step up, but he has already made the decision that Condit is going to sit out and wait for St-Pierre to recover.
“Gotta respect Kos offering to fight Condit on a week notice. I respect the (expletive) out of you Josh! He’s waiting for GSP though,” White tweeted back to Koscheck.
While White has made his decision, Koscheck hasn’t relented on his challenge to Condit.
“Some things are out of your control, but you can put it out there. Hoping [Condit] mans up and not let [Dana White] save him from an ass-kicking,” Koscheck posted.
