UFC 143: Josh Koscheck Didn’t Know Who Mike Pierce Was, Jokingly Hopes GSP Doesn’t Return

Yet another fighter slams reporter Ariel Helwani for his choice in footwear to begin this interview with UFC 143 main card fighter Josh Koscheck. Koscheck is quick to admit that he didn’t know who opponent Mike Pierce was and would have preferred a “bigger name” but is willing to face the “up and commers” in the sport. The former No. 1 contender wants to be the first fighter to knockout Pierce and hopes a win will get him close to a shot at the interim welterweight title. When asked about the champ and his injury, Koscheck hopes Georges St-Pierre will be out for longer in order for him to get that shot at the belt.
