Here's the bet your ass predictions portion. Who do you think will win? Thiago Alves or Josh Koscheck? Koscheck just received a 2-week notice after Alves' original opponent Diego Sanchez was injured before the scheduled fight.
Instead of charging for takedown after takedown like Hughes did against Alves, "Kos" will be using his striking to set Alves to the grounds, making them harder to defend.
Alves' brawl game looked great against Hughes and it will be exciting to see if it was because his sprawl game was that good enough or if Matt Hughes was really bad. A fresher, quicker, more versatile wrestler like Koscheck is sure to let the world know just how exactly how good Alves really is.
Prediction: Alves via unanimous decision
