(When Mendez refused to kiss Koscheck’s boo-boo and make it all better, a rivalry had officially been started.)
There are few things that are simply a given in the MMA world, and they are:
1. The ref cam is fucking awesome.
2. People will always hate Jon Jones, regardless of how great a fighter he is.
3. Bruce Buffer is fucking awesome.
4. Octagon > Ring (THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.)
5. Pat Barry and everyone he knows or comes into contact with is fucking awesome.
6. Knees to the head of a downed opponent and soccer kicks should be allowed.
7. Michael Bisping and Josh Koscheck are *not* awesome.
With that in mind, take a look at this video, in which Kos has a casual conversation with friend and former training partner Jon Fitch, and discusses the beef with former camp American Kickboxing Academy (specifically, coach Javier Mendez) that he apparently just can’t let go of. In the video, he admits that he hopes AKA “burns to the ground” with “maybe one person” in it. Hint: Mendez is the person he’s hoping for. To be fair, Koscheck also openly admits to being a D-I-C-K dick, so at least he’s willing to man up about that whole issue.
Javier’s response, courtesy of MMAFighting, is below.
(the question comes up at the 1:25 mark.)
“It’s who he is,” Javier states bluntly, laughing through the fact that his former student of eight years more or less just wished for him to die. At least they can agree on one thing: Josh Koscheck is a dick.
