American Kickboxing Academy trainer Javier Mendez believes Josh Koscheck fought Georges St-Pierre on pure heart after suffering a fractured orbital bone in the first round of their title fight this past Saturday at UFC 124.
Few things went right for the challenger as Koscheck deviated from his game plan, but he never quit.
Mendez sees a little of himself in Koscheck, who’s like other fighters who “like to guide themselves” and call their own shots during career-defining moments.
