Josh Koscheck finally got Matt Hughes. It's a fight he wanted two or three years ago, but claims Hughes ducked him and all of his American Kickboxing Academy teammates (Jon Fitch and Mike Swick). Now Koscheck wants a piece of Hughes' hide for what he calls a lack of respect.
"Matt Hughes definitely disrespected me when he called me a kid. I'm a lot younger than him, I'm a lot faster and a lot stronger, I'm a better fighter than him," Koscheck said of the 38-year-old Hughes. "The new kid on the block is going to come up and take out the old man."
Aside from personal reasons, Koscheck. 33, thinks this is a fight that fans have been yearning for:
"Fighting Matt Hughes is a good comeback fight for me," he said. "I think the fans deserved this fight a long time ago, and now we're getting the opportunity to do it," said Koscheck.
Check out ProMMARadio's Larry Pepe and Damon Martin from MMAWeekly as we break down the fight on RawVegas.tv using the Las Vegas betting odds. Koscheck is a minus-600 favorite, while Hughes fetches plus-400 as an underdog.
