Koscheck won the round, but he has to be careful.  Brawling with Pierce is not a good gamble.

Nah I'm not going to bet money with you guys.  But I'll pick Cruz on Tapology and we'll see who gets green checks and red x's.

Koscheck will never be the same fighter after the GSP fight. His eye can't handle the damage.
