Josh Koscheck Gets New UFC 143 Opponent: Mike Pierce

News

Josh Koscheck seemed annoyed that Carlos Condit would no longer be his UFC 143 opponent. After the injury to UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Carlos Condit (Kos’ original foe) was moved into the main event and will now face Nick Diaz in an interim title fight.

After a short wait, Koscheck will now face off against welterweight Mike Pierce, someone whose style will surely be a strong test for the brash former number one contender.
