Josh Koscheck used to be insultingly called "The Blanket" because he used his wrestling to hold down opponents for the win. But it's obvious that Josh has added an increasingly good stand up game to his arsenal. His hands are really good now. Even against a striker as good as Thiago Alves, Koscheck (on short notice) was able to hold his own. And against Yoshiyuki Yoshida on Wednesday, he took a page out of Mike Tyson's playbook, landing a spectacular 2 punch combination that won him fight.
Josh knew that Yoshida was prepared for his overhand right and Yoshida did a good job at first of blocking it. But then Kos came up the middle with a straight right that rocked Yoshida's world and stood him straight up and put him out on his feet. Kos then followed up with a right hook that put Yoshida to sleep.
Here's a GIF of the KO.
