Josh Koscehck Feels He Deserves Title Shot Over Dan Hardy
After his second round submission victory, Josh Koscheck called out Dan Hardy saying he deserved the title shot against Georges St. Pierre instead of the Brit.
“I know there’s somebody here that thinks he’s the No. 1 contender,” Koscheck said in his post-fight interview. “He thinks he’s the No. 1 contender, but he hasn’t fought anybody.”
Koscheck then pointed at and acknowledged Hardy, who’s 4-0 in the UFC and recently defeated Mike Swick at UFC 105 to earn the title shot.
“He ain’t fought nobody like me,” Koscheck said. “Guaranteed, I’m the No. 1 freaking contender in the division.”
UFC president Dana White acknowledged Koscheck’s standing within the welterweight division, but noted that the St. Pierre vs. Hardy bout was already booked. Something Koscheck acknowledged and noted that he’d like to fight in January or December.
“I guess Dan Hardy is the next in line, so we’ll let him fight for the title and see what happens after that,” Koscheck said. “I’m not concerned. I just want to fight whoever they put in front of me and put on exciting performances like tonight, so that’s my goal.”
