Reaction to possible Koscheck-Penn fight
Late Wednesday night, former UFC welterweight top contender Josh Koscheck took to Twitter to reveal that he had been offered a fight against former champion B.J. Penn, who hasn't fought since a loss to Nick Diaz in October. The fan reaction was quick, and quite varied...
- After Penn's loss to Diaz, he announced inside the cage that he was done with fighting. However, not too many people expected the retirement to stick. Could a matchup against Koscheck, who is coming off a split-decision loss to Johny Hendricks earlier this month, be the one to entice Penn enough to return to the Octagon?
- RT @FrontRowBrian: If you remember, @JoshKoscheck called out Matt Hughes after UFC 103 win over Trigg. Calling out semi retired fighters nothing new for him.
Penn/Kos? Hall of Famer versus left orbital irrelevant? pass.. @bjpenndotcom @JoshKoscheck @danawhite #UFC #KnowWhenToExit
I'm no fan of @joshkoscheck but I admire that he is always ready to fight. What's this 1ce or 2ce a year nonsense? Hope he fights Penn.
I'm selling the news of @JoshKoscheck v @BJPenndotcom, won't buy until I hear something out of BJ's camp, made it clear he was taking time
@GamblingFury @joshkoscheck when i saw this the first thing that comes to mind was. Are tou gonna take him down and dry hump or just scrap?
@MAZZnation @joshkoscheck give the guy a break, he's descending the "irrelevant ladder" one rung at a time. Rematch with Pierce up next!
@Quazonk @joshkoscheck So true! he's the next Matt Serra ! Don't get hurt on your way down Josh! Time to retire!
@JoshKoscheck that bj has no idea what he's getting into, then again he hasn't for a couple years now. Knock that head off!
@VENDETTA_MMA @bjpenndotcom @JoshKoscheck That is not going to be a fight. It will be a lamb being lead out to slaughter. BJ stay retired!!
@JoshKoscheck You better hope BJ says no or you will get knocked out quicker than you did against paulo!
@JoshKoscheck Hope he signs on. You just lost to Hendricks. How did they give you BJ. Good luck. Your gonna need it...- Have your say. Share your thoughts with Showdown Joe and he will discuss it on on "The Showdown" on Sportsnet 590 THE FAN Thursday night...
WW scrap on the horizon: @JoshKoscheck vs @bjpenndotcom - like this fight? Use #TheShowdown so we can discuss in tonight's radio show.
@ShowdownJoe @JoshKoscheck @bjpenndotcom #TheShowdown Love this battle. Is it Main event status yet? Any reasons why it wouldn't be?
