But I believe if there's a guy who can become the future of the welterweight division who isn't French Canadian (or my favorite fighter) then maybe it's "Kos." He's a great wrestler, is becoming a very good striker and has passable BJJ; all of those skills coupled with his great cardio and it's tough to imagine him losing too many more fights in his career which is saying a lot for him since he's in what is arguably the deepest division in the UFC (the light-heavyweight division being the only other weight class that is nearly as stacked). One cannot avoid that fact that was out worked by GSP when they met last year but I, along with many others, think Koscheck is evolving very quickly and, perhaps, he grew a lot from that loss. It must also be mentioned that GSP could not finish Koscheck and, if you rewatch that bout, you'll see that Koscheck did not take a whole lot of punishment in terms of getting struck in the face. Personall, I don't think Lytle is any where near the top ten in the WW division and Kos should be able to showcase his talent and finish this fight. Indeed, if Kos has any trouble Saturday night, it doesn't bode well for his chances at a title shot. On the other hand, this is MMA and anything could happen. If "Light's Out" Lytle has his say, Koscheck will be waking up to smelling salts behind closed doors.
