In their scramble to shore up UFC 106‘s lineup after the loss of Brock Lesnar, the UFC has booked a welterweight scrap between Josh Koscheck and Anthony Johnson for the November 21st event. Koscheck first announced via Twitter that he would be co-headlining the card, and Sherdog later confirmed his opponent.
It’ll be just a four-week turnaround for Johnson, who picked up his third straight win on Saturday night with a devastating 41-second TKO of Yoshiyuki Yoshida. (Our advice: Start cutting weight now.) Koscheck is coming off a first-round TKO of Frank Trigg at UFC 103 last month, and scored his own thunderous KO of Yoshiyuki Yoshida last December. Maybe it’s not worthy of co-main status, but at least Koscheck vs. Johnson will probably end with a highlight-reel knockout. Your predictions?

commentsThen The Big Show is going to tear open the cage with his teeth, fight the Undertaker, then guest host Dana White will schedule a fatal-4-way match for later that same night! its gonna be AWESOME!!
two_black_eyes hit the nail on the head, I think AJ will continue to dominate this weight class until he gets a shot at GSP. I also think he has the tools to make that a great fight too, and possibly walk away the new champ.
WAR AJ!!!!!
You beat me to it.
Good fight, but probably still won't go out my way to catch this one with such a weak main event. I think AJ wins either by decision or TKO. Josh will eventually try to take it to the ground, but AJ has a wrestling background also.
I hope.
i wanna see this dude fight GSP. i think he has the size and skills to make it a great fight. of course he would have to make weight.
