What we learned about Josh Koscheck:

He is still very cautious about his right eye, which was messed up badly at the hands of Georges St. Pierre. He was slow to start, but as the round came to an end he really found his rhythm. After all was complete, he showed that deep down he isn't really the jerk that many people think he is. Yes he is cocky, but let's have a keep it real day, we all continue to talk about him.
