Stephan Bonnar says he’d “drop a lot of weight” to face Josh Koscheck in the octagon

“Ultimate Fighter” original, Stephan Bonnar has revealed that he’s less than impressed with fellow reality show cast mate and welterweight contender, Josh Koscheck, so much so that he’s made a t-shirt in honour of him and he’s prepared to lose weight to face him inside the octagon.
Speaking via MMA Fight Corner Bonnar said:

“Not in my division, but overall probably Koscheck. Mainly because I started a new t-shirt line called Trash Talking Kids, kinda a parody of the old Garbage Pail Kids from the 80’s except with UFC fighters. He actually inspired the idea, he talks so much s**t in the Daley fight and after the fight. The whole time I see Koscheck talking s**t to him on the ground, I thought it was hilarious and I was carrying on about it. Then sure I knew he was gonna get to Daley. Turns out afterward that he was saying terrible things about Daley’s mom and all that. Well it’s kinda understandable that Daley tried to punch him afterwards and sure enough he got to Daley. Daley lost his cool and punched him afterwards. I thought it was the funniest thing, like he is just a trash talking kid at heart.”

“Since then we made a whole bunch more. He got wind of it and he didn’t like it and I tried to explain it to him firsthand. ‘Like, look we’re doing them for all the fighters. It’s kinda a joke, just cartoon versions of the fighters.’ His version is called Josh Koshbygosh and he kinda looks like a Cabbage Patch doll, because he really does. Anyway, so he didn’t like it. Turns out we won’t be able to sell his but we will be able to sell the other ones. I didn’t think his was gonna sell too much anyway. We’re getting hit up his lawyers at the moment, it’s been a pain in the ass. So if anyone rubs me the wrong way, it’ll be Koscheck for sicking his lawyers on me. I would drop a lot of weight to fight him.”

With Koscheck vocal in the past about moving up in weight to face Tito Ortiz inside the octagon so it would be interesting to see whether ‘Kos’ would accept Bonnar’s challenge of a fight, possibly at a catchweight of 195 pounds. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as we get it.
