Only three fights known, and already I have a feeling this is going to be a great card.

Then again it is Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas.

That would be insane if Dana put it on this card, but I thought I remember him mention it won't be.

Well by the 3 thumbs down I see not alot of people like Kos, haters, you're just mad he's going to kick Condit's ass.  Thumbs down that.

i think a ko win for kos is the last thing that will happen, kos could win via boring decision but not if he stand an bang with condit, plus even ellenberger couldn't knock condit out and he hit him with some bombs, his chin is no joke, more likely condit scores the ko on kos...

Kos has some big power, enough to put Condit away.

Condit's never been knocked out or even stopped with strikes. No way Koscheck does it. Only way Koscheck wins is by laying on Condit for 15 minutes.

Koscheck is in my top 5 favorites. PEople who think he cant strike with Condit are insane. Koscheck is an awesome striker.

I wouldnt say Kos is an awesome or even good striker but he has big power. Hughes was outstriking Kos until the KO

Everyone is saying he's going to lay on him to win a boring decision.  Do you seriously discredit all of his ko/sub wins and always look at his lnp decisions?  When he ko's Condit after a great 3 round fight, you'll all be hiding.

I think people have a bad taste in their mouth from Koscheck's fight with Daley, but I don't really blame him for that, I mean a title shot was on the line. Koscheck knows that he probably won't get another title shot while GSP is on top. He likes money, and I have a feeling he is going to try and make this fight as exciting as possible and try to pocket one of those bonuses at the end of night.

na i'm not insane @mike condit got a 3 inch reach advantage plus the better stand up skills overall, did you see what gsp was able to do with the same reach condit has and condit is a better striker than gsp and for sure a better strike than koscheck, he has some power but only got one shot the overhand right, condit can attack with knees kicks elbows and his hands....
