Did any of you guys watch the GSP vs Josh Koscheck  fight last night? As a proud Canadian I always get nervous when GSP enters the octagon. As usual though he was completely dominant and made another top rank fighter look like an amateur. GSP's jab set the pace of the whole fight right from the start. He would leap in, land one or two shots on Koshchek's face, then leap out before taking any damage. It is amazing how he seems to improve with each fight and totally negate his opponent's style. It is also amazing how explosive GSP is. Talk about an athlete who has his diet, training and technique all down to a perfect science.

I will give Koscheck credit for a few things though. First off he proved to be tough as nails. I was obvious that his swollen shut right eye was causing him a ton of pain. Every time the doctor applied ice to it he would flinch away in pain. That being said he kept on fighting and coming after George no matter what.

Also, Koscheck's wrestling proved to be world class as GSP had a really hard time taking him down. This forced the fight to be a stand up battle which made it more entertaining for sure.

Lastly, I was a little dissapointed that GSP didn't go in for the kill near the end. Koscheck couldn't see out of his right eye and was quite vulnerable. I wanted to see GSP finish Kos with a big round house or something. Instead GSP stayed conservative through the whole match and never went in for the kill. I understand that he doesn't want to risk taking any unnecessary damage, but a knock out finish would have been more entertaining.
