First Cain, Now Mike Swick, Is ANYBODY At AKA Thinking That Josh Koscheck Can Beat GSP At UFC 124?
Mike Swick was interviewed by Tatame and recently had this to say about the upcoming fight between his teammate Josh Koscheck and GSP.
Your training partner, Josh Koscheck, is fighting or the welterweight title against Georges St. Pierre. What do you expect from this fight?
He’s been training or really hard and really long, he’s been in shape for like months. There’s no doubt that he’s gonna be in the best shape of his life. It’s up to him how he comes out , I think it can be an incredible fight and he can be a champ. The thing with GSP is if you make a mistake or don’t make a perfect fight he wins. It’s a very, very tough test.
Now, Swick didn't totally disregard Koscheck's chances like Cain did.
"[GSP is] one of the best out there. His style of fighting is strong and I think he is going to be the champion for a long time," Velasquez told the hosts of CP24 Breakfast. "But guys are always coming after him."
but he didn't actually say Josh would win. Everytime a fighter's teammate is interviewed, they almost always say "My guy is going to win." If you remember the Countdown for UFC 121 and the Primetimes, they were adamant that Cain would win. What has changed?

The most generous explanation would be that
They saw the technical weaknesses with Lesnar right away. GSP… not so much.
What has changed is ...
Lesnar < Cain.
But GSP >>>>>>> Kos
