Koscheck: No problem. Things got a lot a little crazy today. I had a video crew at AKA and had to fight this guy.

Junkie: Wait. Are you serious?
Koscheck: I swear to God.

Junkie: Who was he?
Koscheck: I don’t know. Some clown from Los Banos, California. Him and a couple friends rolled up on some street bikes and came into the gym. We geared him up, and he fought me in Dickies jeans, and I about broke his arm. Don’t worry. I’ll have the video up on my Web site in a couple days.

So yeah, I got some training in for Diego today. He thought he was a bad ass. It was funny as hell.

Junkie: What did he say afterward? How did this even come about?
Koscheck: The whole story is, basically, I guess I met this guy at some appearance. And he said, “Hey, I want to come up there and fight with you. If I beat your ass, I’ll get in the UFC.” I’m like, “Yeah, OK. Sure, I guess. Whatever. It’s not like it works like that.”

So I blew it off, you know, and the next couple weeks, he started calling my kickboxing coach, Javier (Mendez). He’s like, “Hey, is Josh Koscheck there?” He hands me the phone and I ask him what’s up. The guy’s like, “This is so-and-so.” I don’t even remember his name, and he tells me he’s ready to come up there and fight me.

“You’re ready to come here and fight me,” I said. “You know where the gym is, right? It’s in San Jose. AKA. You can look it up on my Web site or their Web site.”

So the guy shows up today. I’m like, “Holy shit, this guy is fucking getting it. It’s on.” We had him sign a waiver, Bob — “Crazy” Bob Cook — refereed it, and I about broke his arm with an armbar and about knocked him out.

So yeah. That was pretty interesting. Fun day.

Junkie: Well, hmm. Uhhh…
Koscheck: Yeah. Crazy, huh?

Junkie: Well, I’ve got to ask. Did you have any reservations about doing this a week before a UFC fight — a really big fight for you?
Koscheck: Nah, I don’t give a shit. I like to fight. I’ve got a week to recover.

Junkie: You don’t mind if I post this story on UFCjunkie.com?
Koscheck: Absolutely. No problem. Go for it.

I don't think Kos was mad at the kid. If the kid came off the street and challenged him to a sparring match, the kid was expecting nothing but kos's best effort. It's like getting your ass beat down by a fighter you admire instead of getting an autograph, and he got it on video. I'd probably opt for an autograph since i'm small, but the video is a cool memento, especially if kos ever gets a UFC belt.

(addendum: i had to watch this video with no sound so i couldn't hear the various comments made throughout the video and had to make my judgements based solely off of visual information)

Koscheck is going to get wooped!!

He called out Kos? Hmmm....not a wise decision on his part. But at least he showed up. And he got a big helping of humble pie. Even now, I have friends that think they're tough enough to take on some UFC/Pride guys. I would LOVE for one of 'em to get in the ring with a pro. They'd make the guy in the video look like a top 10 fighter.

Cool post, but he said he "about" broke his arm. Same as almost. Probably in that first arm bar.

[lallinho]

That's some un-professional dumb shit right there. The other dude takes more credit from that than Koscheck does. Josh seems to hit really softly too, even for a guy taking it easy

[KaroThrow101]

that overhand right of KOscheck's is too sloppy.
