Since he appeared on the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” more than five years ago, it’s been pretty clear that Josh Koscheck isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers.

He’s been as outspoken as ever leading up to his Dec. 11 UFC welterweight title fight against champion Georges St-Pierre – and the evidence can be seen each Wednesday on the current Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter” with Koscheck and St-Pierre as opposing coaches.

Three months away from his UFC welterweight title fight against champion Georges St-Pierre, and the week before his debut as a coach on Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Josh Koscheck knows he’s the villain.

Koscheck, whose role as a fighter many fans love to hate began on the inaugural season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” has always seemed to march to his own beat. And on Tuesday, he told Ariel Helwani on “The MMA Hour” that being looked at as the bad guy doesn’t matter to him.

“Being loved or hated, ya know what? It’s about making money for me,” Koscheck said. “So if I’ve got to be the bad guy to make money, then I’ll be the bad guy to make money.”
