Josh Koscheck signs the bout agreement to fight Carlos Condit at UFC 143 on Feb. 4, 2012, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. What's your best guess for who wins this welterweight clash, Maniacs? Will "Kos" thwart Condit in his quest to regain a title shot? Or is "The Natural Born Killer" destined to fight for the gold?

Who is this Josh Koscheck fellow that showed up at the UFC 135 pre-fight press conference yesterday rolling out the red carpet for Matt Hughes? Where's the heel trash-talker who knows how to sell a fight? MMAmania.com Founder Thomas Myers explores right here.

Have a look at American Kickboxing Academy training partners turned rehab buddies Josh Koscheck and Cain Velasquez as they enjoy a night on the town in Fresno (pic).

Let's hear some predictions on which one will come back stronger from their respective injuries.

The Golden State Warriors of the NBA will host two separate MMA themed promotional events this season presented by popular clothing brand Dethrone Royalty, according to the San Francisco MMA Examiner. The first event will see UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez host a Q&A after a game on Jan. 28 as part of "Latino Heritage Night." The second event, set to take place on Feb. 7, will be called "MMA Night" and will feature stars like Velasquez, Josh Koscheck, Daniel Cormier and Nick Diaz signing autographs before a game. Any Maniacs double as Warriors fans?

Despite coming off a loss to Jim Miller at the "St. Pierre vs Koscheck" event last December, UFC lightweight Charles Oliveira has signed a four fight extension with Zuffa, according to the Houston MMA Examiner. The dynamic young fighter commented on the new deal: "I am very happy about the extension. They have been cutting so many 155 pounders, I am very blessed to have a job for 2011." With a new deal in place, who should "do Bronx" take on now after suffering his first career loss?

GSP + AKA = EOFs (Eye Orbital Fractures). Maybe a move back to middleweight would be in Mike Swick's best interest, no?

Sean Pierson beats the snot out of Matt Riddle in their welterweight slugfest at UFC 124. Although Georges St. Pierre vs Josh Koscheck won the illustrious "Fight of the Night" honors (thanks to the fans), company President Dana White commented at the post-fight press conference that this was the bout he would have given the award to had it been up to him.

Freddie Roach at work, ladies and gentlemen. Less than a month after Manny Pacquiao closed up Antonio Margarito's eye, Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre did the same to Josh Koscheck at UFC 124. Props: Cagewriter
