Josh Koscheck earned a title shot against champion George St. Pierre with a dominate victory over Brit Paul Daley. Using his wrestling to dictate the action, Koscheck avoided Daley's dangerous striking with quick powerful takedowns. It was apparent that Daley spent significant time fighting off of his back during training camp, yet he was unable to threaten Koscheck from any position. After the final bell sounded, a frustrated Daley lashed out at Koscheck hitting him with a sucker punch before the referee could intervene. Ironically, the sucker punch was the only significant blow Semtex landed all night. Despite his impressive performance, Koscheck was booed heavily the entire fight, and did nothing to improve his image by claiming that the Pittsburgh Penguins would easily beat the beloved Montreal Canadians in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Yes, Koscheck is certainly an a hole. But he can fight. Bottom line.
In other action, former NFL defensive lineman Matt Mitrione brutalized crowd favorite Kimbo Slice with chopping leg kicks and crisp punches to win by second round T/ko. Also, Marcus Davis bounced backed from back to back losses with a second round knockout of hometown hero Jonathan Goulet.
