So Josh Koscheck posted on twitter that he was going to appear on the card for UFC 106 this past Tuesday. Lesner has been announced off the card because of a flu he can’t shake (we were told Swine Flu). Even though it hasn’t been announced yet, we were told that Anthony Johnson is going to be named as Koscheck’s opponent and that it’s going to be the co-main event, now that the Tito Ortiz fight has been promoted to the main event.
Johnson had a great showing this past weekend at UFC 104 with a knockout victory over Yoshiyuki Yoshida. Sadly, he didn’t make weight, so the victory was bittersweet. He was not eligible for his knock out of the night bonus. The fight agains Koscheck would be a great opportunity to solidify himself as a solid force in the UFC.
Koscheck also desparately needs to win as his last four fights have resulted in a 2-2 split. A win would put him back on track as a fighter on the move.
Stay tuned for more info.
