Koscheck Asks to Move to 185 lbs and For Chris Leben

On Thursday afternoon, Koscheck was asked by his clothing sponsor, Dethrone Royalty, who he was interested in making his comeback fight against. While most assumed he was eyeballing the Octagon’s debut in San Jose this coming winter, the controversial wrestler also decided to drop the 185-pound bomb on the Twitter universe.


“I did ask for my next fight to be nov 19 in san jose at 185 ” Koscheck tweeted.

Koscheck holds a 15-5 professional record, with only his first two scraps coming outside of the UFC’s banner. After starting his UFC career with a victory over Chris Sanford in the middleweight division, he immediately dropped to the 170-pound weight class and has remained there ever since.

What may have prompted his relocation was the fact welterweight king Georges St-Pierre posted a second consecutive convincing win over Koscheck in his last outing. UFC president Dana White professed Koscheck was, “in a real bad position in the welterweight division, unless somebody else beats Georges St. Pierre. Georges dominated him twice.”
