What’s so damn crazy is Josh Koscheck is an elite wrestler who has an outstanding wrestling resume pre ufc that’s been wrestling damn near his whole life. GSP on the other hand never wrestled in school and has no wrestling resume before the ufc yet dominates elite wrestlers like Josh 😆. One of the reasons he is one of the 🐐’s.
@Claudius douchus maximus 1738 🤦♂️Wrestling that is taught in HS is the same fundamental wrestling style that’s taught to mma fighters so it’s not different. That was a very ignorant comment. Know wtf you are talking about before commenting little buddy, it helps.
Athletes like George St-Pier are far and few, he is an all around elite mixed martial artist and I feel fortunate to have been around to watch this master in action…what makes it even better is he is a class act/ humble human being 👏🏽
@@makefoxhoundgreatagain842 the only real thing that conflicts me is that Kamaru got caught but George got finished by Matt Serra so I’d say George’s stats will always be better Kamaru is rightfully the only person to contend even on freak incidents.
@@GertselShatz there's the duration as champ and title defenses for me. 6years for gsp 3years 5 months for usman, and 9 defenses for gsp and 5 for usman. I'll add kamaru only defended against three separate opponents, gsp defended against nine different people. And gsp is objectively a more well rounded fighter and athlete.
@@GertselShatz and of those five defenses kamaru fought masvidal twice and its very debatable as to how elite masvidal actually is. I'll give usman colby and Gilbert though for sure
@@makefoxhoundgreatagain842 Tbf Usman was about to retain the belt but got caught freak accident and I truly don’t believe Kamaru would ever lose to Serra and the level of competition was also a bit different and hard to judge .

I say GSP could get a finish but Kamaru could pull a decision but now that I’m typing I think GSP takes Usman down and smashes him too. GSP better confirmed
Ye GsP's wrestling skill progression was other worldly.... Canada actually asked GsP to wrestle in the olympics following year.... they ask a guy with no college wrestling experience to wrestle :D How freaking nuts is that?!

Koscheck leaving AKA is what caused his downfall. His own personality lead to a falling out with AKA's head coach Javier Mendez. Without any world-class coaches or sparring partners to push or teach him anything new, he quickly plateaued and soon faded.
If Kos went through a Muay Thai camp to improve his striking he could have been much more effective. That said, I don't think he ever beats GSP, no one in that era could, George's absolutely cleaned out that division.
One of my favorite wins of all time. Over time even more because Georges has proved himself a a true champ I didnt realize back then an Josh I totally forgot. At that time in my life I had never met a guy I liked with blonde tips.
It's hilarious how they were in different positions but the camera kept cutting back to josh in another kimura. I burst out laughing a few times there. GSP's takedown defense is masterful.
man i loved that old music they played during the tale of the tape. it reminds me of something you'd hear in gladiator times. i wish they'd bring that back. the new background song just doesn't have the same feel.
this was the era of UFC that i payed a lot of attention to. not saying it's better than it is today, just when i had more time for it. as a canadian GSP was very interesting as well, so i'm sure that added to it.
Biggest thing to note about this video is AFTER the winner is announced. GSP had the mic in his own hand. Not sharing it with an interviewer. He solo held it. What's the last time you saw that?
Masvidal has said in the past how in retrospect, he wishes he would've learned wrestling young in life. Georges St. Pierre is rare. A guy who never wrestled in high school or college becomes the most dominant wrestler of his time. Nobody does that
For those wondering what Big John McCarthy was saying to GSO during the Kimura is that the rules state you can't grab your opponents shorts but you can grab your own, which is how Koscheck was defending the Kimura with only one arm.
Got to serve josh at abuelos Kissimmee fl and i knew he was so familiar he just didnt have this hair and i asked him are you a fighter? and he said retired so when he asked me who my fav fighter was i said gsp😂 i felt so bad cuz i grew up watching these fights it was such an honour to serve him and his fam im such a casual for not realizing
I knew Josh when he was in college, and talked to him right before the St. Pierre fight. His bad guy personna was an act to build interest in the bouts, at home in PA he was a private, but affable man.
And you will find people say Usman or Cody would Dominanted GSP in wrestling!! Just to let you know guys Josh is NCAA Division I wrestler and Usman is NCAA Division II... What I'm trying to say Josh is a better wrestler than Usman and GSP Dominanted him in his own game
@@samirjones474 Yeah dude was also Division 1 was also a pretty elite fighter but the fans didn't like him because he just wrestled everybody to decisions.
I’ve met a lot of the fighters over the years. The UFC adds 3 inches to their height in my opinion. Matt Sera was shorter than my wife and she’s 5 foot three.
I'm Canadian and during this feud i found and rocked a yellow Team Koschek TUF shirt, i never received so many comments and questions about my clothing in my life lol

I love how GSP grew up with karate but learned to wrestle in his later years and got to a point of out wrestling any one who stood in his way
karate was the reason why, he said karate taught him precision
He trains with Olympic gold medal wrestlers. To be the best, he trains with only the best.
@robhodgson6872 same with his boxing, the trained with Freddy roach.
I’m still surprised that GSP was able to over power Koscheck wrestling wise considering Josh’s most powerful weapon is Wrestling.

One of my favorite wins of all time. Over time even more because Georges has proved himself a a true champ I didnt realize back then an Josh I totally forgot. At that time in my life I had never met a guy I liked with blonde tips.
3:16 watch GSP move his hips and counter that take down is insane!!!
That is insane
he does the same thing when passing guard to side control
Nobody beat as many contenders as GSP
People have small memories unfortunately and a lots of new mma fans out there knowing only the 5-10 more popular fighters at the moment
Making GSP looking like he’s 6 foot something in the thumbnail was genius
It's hilarious how they were in different positions but the camera kept cutting back to josh in another kimura. I burst out laughing a few times there. GSP's takedown defense is masterful.
I remember thinking George was going to get dominated in wresting then he pulled out this performance
It's just entertaining as hell watching Koscheck get whooped.
He was really good though
The whoopins from GSP and the Woodley KO are my favourite Koscheck moments.
I'll watch any footage of Koscheck losing. Thank you.

One of the best uses of the jab in MMA to date.
It was amazing the 2nd time fighting they competed george was a great boxer and he gave him a beatin and it was the same punch throughout the fight
Josh had great kimura defense. All he needed to add was a fake eye poke or ghost knee to the head and he could have defeated GSP.
this was the era of UFC that i payed a lot of attention to. not saying it's better than it is today, just when i had more time for it. as a canadian GSP was very interesting as well, so i'm sure that added to it.
Dude gsp wanted that Kimura so fucking bad yanked on that shit like a tug of war game
Weird that Josh got two opportunities to fight the GOAT. Deserved maybe once. But not twice.
Lol George’s Muay Thai coach at the end with no shirt on in the octagon
GSP GOAT
Biggest thing to note about this video is AFTER the winner is announced. GSP had the mic in his own hand. Not sharing it with an interviewer. He solo held it. What's the last time you saw that?
I watched this live on tv .. gsp put on a clinic absolute class
"I GAVE A GOOD SHOE TONIGHT!"
Look at 1:45-1:46 of the video. What is that thing that flies in front of GSP's face? It's just outside the ring.
Yeah...what the hell was that...
It’s a flash from a camera
@@Joseph-ed6hl it was sliding from left to right. That's not a camera flash
Masvidal has said in the past how in retrospect, he wishes he would've learned wrestling young in life.

Dude in the Thumbnail Koscheck looks like he's at least 5'6
He got owned with his own bread and butter LOL 😂😂😂
gsp did that to everyone
Awesome to see sone of these fighters go through their prime. U can always tell cause one of the Paul brothers will wanna fight then.
For those wondering what Big John McCarthy was saying to GSO during the Kimura is that the rules state you can't grab your opponents shorts but you can grab your own, which is how Koscheck was defending the Kimura with only one arm.
Koscheck is an animal, these are two of the highest level of athlete the UFC has ever seen. Let's not forget Kos has a win over Rumble Johnson
That he does. Rumble Johnson got better later on though I think if they were to fought again Johnson would’ve won
@@bennyratliff1264 Nah Rumble was good but was really holding himself back cutting to 170.
Bro I thought koscheck had a mullet in the thumbnail for a second
This makes me so happy
Fight hard never give up
Reach here was
GSP: 74" reach
Kosccheck: 74" reach
Second fight was
GSP: 76" reach
Kosccheck 73" reach
Really odd.
I prefer the 2nd when gsp jabs kischecks face til he looks like the elephant man!
For a split second I thought it was Diego who ran out and put GSP on his shoulders at the end there, lmao.
Maybe they should let Koschek use the water hose from TUF season 1. It’s the only way he can do any damage.
Honest question, how are they both the same weight and both have muscle, but GSP is bigger? How does weight work exactly
posted weight is what they weigh at weigh in, not fight day. most fighters cut weight for weigh in, some more than others.
An Olympic caliber wrestler taken down by a guy whose foundation is Karate.
I don't think Josh was ever near Olympic caliber.
Okay as a proud Canadian I would have preferred to see the face of GSP on the new bill instead of that creepy King Charles😊😊😊😊
This never gets old 😂
George’s wrestling was so damn solid for a non wrestler.
GSP just sonning koscheck twice is therapeutic
A year later and I'm still laughing at that thumbnail.
1:05 that girl was amazed
I like seeing a good fight. Don't really like for anyone to get really injured ( ironically)! But seeing Koscheck get beat up isn't horrible.
Got to serve josh at abuelos Kissimmee fl and i knew he was so familiar he just didnt have this hair and i asked him are you a fighter? and he said retired so when he asked me who my fav fighter was i said gsp😂 i felt so bad cuz i grew up watching these fights it was such an honour to serve him and his fam im such a casual for not realizing
Peak GSP. Unstoppable athleticism.
Facts
2 gsp vs koscheck fights, 0 gsp vs robbie lawler fights, we were cheated
I knew Josh when he was in college, and talked to him right before the St. Pierre fight. His bad guy personna was an act to build interest in the bouts, at home in PA he was a private, but affable man.
GSP is one of my all-time favorites. He's proof positive that you don't have to be an asshole to be a good fighter.
people need to wake up and realize there's more than 1 way to throw the jab.
That's the great thing about it.
😂all these years later and it's still good to see Koschek lose!
I'd love to see one about Joanna vs Carla Esparza

WTF is up with the thumbnail? Y'all had GSP 6'5
How are they both 5' 10"?
I’ve met a lot of the fighters over the years. The UFC adds 3 inches to their height in my opinion. Matt Sera was shorter than my wife and she’s 5 foot three.
Joe constantly touting GSPs size for 170. Small guy. But obviously so naturally strong.
I watched this fight to get my self ready for a Lt heavy weight title in 07 then after the fight i watched again soon I got home 😂💪😂🤜🥋
Both fighters are the same height, but the thumbnail has Georges taller than McCarthy.
i almost forgot how top notch of a fighter koscheck was.
GSP was super tough and super talented
Gsp grew an inch in height and 3 inches in reach after this fight I guess
I'm Canadian and during this feud i found and rocked a yellow Team Koschek TUF shirt, i never received so many comments and questions about my clothing in my life lol
Best days of MMA
Gsp literally gave Josh a wrestling lesson.
GSP clearly outclassed Koscheck all around. Wow.
Koscheck would have got that takedown at 1:27 of the ufc clock if it hadn't been for George grabbing the cage 🥱
Love your videos… can you post the reading of the scores or are you not allowed?
Fight is 50 yrs old and that’s the most you could give us lol
Josie, he was coming with more jabs. Had the time not elapsed he would still be jabbing you at the moment.
The thumbnail makes Josh look short compared to George.
Who doesn’t love watchin’ Josh just pounded?
anyone know what year this was?

So is nobody going to talk about how they edited the thumbnail?
They caught a frame where GSP was jumping in the faceoff
Lol... Koscheck looks like he's in the Lollipop guild!.😂
how are they the same height but the thumbnail makes it look like Josh is 5'5???
0:30 they're bouncing up and down
