Can we make this happen?

With the terrifying upset of Georges St. Pierre by Matt Serra and the minor upet of Diego Sanchez, who has been demoted to a mere 'bad dream' rather than 'Nightmare', by Josh Koscheck things have changed quite a bit in the UFC welterweight division. I think we'll see Kos and GSP hooking up pretty soon and I can't wait for that.

Koscheck's takedowns are phenomenal, arguably better than Matt Hughes himself and it would be interesting to see if he could manage to do what Hughes could not. Namely, take down St. Pierre. The Candadian's takedown defense has become nearly legendary but he's also shown strong takedown ability. Just look at his win over Sean Sherk. Koscheck, for his part, has already said St. Pierre can't take him down and he could be right.

With his improved stand-up game this could be a slugfest between two young, TALENTED fighters. Yes, all capital letters. You bet your ass I mean it.

On the stand up Kos seems to favor hands mostly but he's very light on his feet and his boxing looks to be significantly better than Georges'. On the other hand GSP mixes punches with kicks very well, and put on a clinic with his shins against the former champion, Hughes. Well okay, maybe not the nutshots but I really felt that Hughes over-emphasized at least one of those. I mean really, did he go commando and not wear a cup? Somehow I doubt it.

I think this fight is on the horizon and I couldn't be more thrilled with that possibility. This would be a marquee matchup and would fit rather nicely on the UFC 72 card that just seems a bit weak. Especially when you take in to consideration the blockbuster nature of the following one, UFC 73.
