Josh Koscheck is willing to fight anybody – as long as the money is right! Having recently transferred to UFC from Strikeforce, Koscheck knows that he doesn’t have much hope of a title fight any time soon, so he’s holding out for big fights, for BIG dollars!

Koscheck had offered to step in to replace Georges St Pierre when the current world champion pulled out of the fight with carlos Condit through injury, but Condit refused to fight Josh because he didn’t want to lose his title-shot. It seems set now for Koscheck to instead fight one of the guys at 185.

“I want to fight the guys at the top,” said Koscheck. “That’s where I want to be. The guys at the bottom want to fight guys that are at the top. So, I’ll fight anybody. Realistically, I want a big fight, my next fight to be a big fight. Who could it be? Maybe a (Nick) Diaz, maybe a B.J. Penn, (Carlos) Condit, maybe someone at 185. There are a lot of good guys at 185, I’d definitely like to fight some of those guys. I want big names, big fights.”

“I’m not gonna get a title shot anytime soon, unless GSP loses,” he added. “We gotta be real on that. Now it’s time to get paid. I’m just trying to fight as much as I can and hopefully get back there at the title shot one day. But if I don’t, I’ll just make money. That’s what it’s about.”

Josh Koscheck somehow managed to grab his latest fight over twitter! Instead of getting his agent to do all the usual phoning around and deal-breaking, Koscheck simply took to twitter and challenged Hughes to a match-up, and eventually had his challenge accepted!

“When Diego Sanchez pulled out hurt with three weeks to go, I knew the UFC would have no choice but to try to talk Hughes into fighting me,” Koscheck wrote. “Like I knew he would, he tried to suggest fighting Jon Fitch instead, knowing full well Fitch is still recovering from shoulder surgery.

“I tweeted that I’d accepted the fight and was ready, just to put pressure on Hughes to quit bitching and take the fight. I wanted to make it so that if he did turn the fight down, all the fans would know that he bitched out. He had nowhere else to go and I’ve finally got my fight with Matt Hughes.”

The match will take place on the same night as Mayweather fights Ortiz, so he might have to have someone checking for a good Mayweather vs Ortiz Live Stream whilst he’s in the ring!
