Josh Koscheck Would Fight BJ Penn.

UFC welterweight superstar Josh Koscheck took time to do an interview with MMA Mania, and one of the things Kos addressed was recent talk about him going down a weight class to fight BJ Penn. Here’s the highlight:

Let’s just get one thing clear: It’s not because I don’t think I can beat Georges St. Pierre or because my training partner Jon Fitch might win the belt. People have been saying those things ever since that article appeared. It’s not true. I will beat Georges St. Pierre — mark my words … it’s just a matter of time. The truth of the matter is that I want to become a world champion. It doesn’t matter if it’s at 170, 185 or even 155. If the opportunity is there and BJ Penn needs someone to fight at 155 I’ll be that guy. I don’t care. I want to be a world champion. That’s my goal and that’s the reason I fight. Right now my goal is still to become the 170 pound champion. But if an opportunity arises I would take it, especially if the money was right.

Koscheck is one of those MMA fighters most people love to hate, but he’s got a solid skillset. His last fight with Chris Lytle showed a much improved striking game, and his mind is set on a title at all costs. Whether or not he could beat either GSP or Penn is debatable, but anything is possible in mixed-martial arts.
