Well-known welterweights Josh Koscheck (10-2) and Chris Lytle (25-15) are set to battle it out for 170-pound supremacy at UFC 86 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 5.
MMA mania confirmed this evening that the bout is in the works and will more than likely take place (although nothing is official at this time — Koscheck’s contract status is still up in the air).
Both fighters appeared on separate seasons of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) — “Kos” on the bebut show and “Lights Out” made it to the finals in the fourth installment.
Koscheck most recently defeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace, Dustin Hazelett, in a surprisingly action-packed bout that was going back-and-forth. The former NCAA wrestling champion weathered an early storm to stop Hazelett in the second round via technical knockout set up by a sweet head kick.
Lytle was recently on the losing end of a “Fight of the Night” at UFC 78: “Validation” back in November 2007 against Thiago Alves. The fireman and family man rebounded in his next bout at UFC 81: “Breaking Point,” introducing Kyle Bradley to the Octagon with an impressive first round stoppage because of strikes.
With Koscheck’s new emphasis on the stand up aspect of his game, it will be interesting to see if he goes toe-to-toe with a former professional boxer.
I can't see Lytle pulling this one out so I think I will be skipping this fight because anyone that knows me knows that I absolutely despise Koscheck, so since I can't see Lytle winning, that would mean that Kos will be winning, thus me skipping the fight.

Absolutely nothing is guaranteed in MMA. I think that's an unwise decision. Lytle could very well take out Koscheck. I don't think anyone saw Serra taking out GSP, but hey, it happened.
It's not that big though, Serra was driven by the fact that everyone was doubting him AND the title was on the line, in this one it would just be people doubting him and sure it COULD happen but we will see wont we.

That could very well happen with Lytle. I'm sure Koscheck is a heavy favorite in this fight. Not to mention that Lytle and Serra are training partners, I believe. I just don't ever count a fighter out. I simply believe anything is possible in MMA and that's why it's such an attractive sport.
Yeah, I don't blame you in doing that either. Koscheck's hands have definitely gotten a lot better and he looked super impressive in his last fight. Either way, I think it should be a very good fight.
