    I think Yoshiyuki Yoshida, Dustin Hazelett, and Frank Trigg might all argue with you about Kos's "limited striking". :)

    koschecks stand up is always improving, but alas still limited in relation to other strikers. Yoshida, Hazelett, and Trigg not great strikers, but point well taken. Paulo Thiago, good striker, might agree with me on the other hand. Even Kos knows he would be a fool to trade with Daley.

    I already can forsee the gameplan of Kos... double leg takedown, ground and pound, move to rear naked choke. 1st round... will that be my actual pick? Time will tell...

    I see Kos beating beating Daley, beating Paulo Thiago in a rematch, then going on to beat winner of GSP/Shields. Kos will run through this division like a hot knife through apple-butter. My opinion of course. :)
