Koscheck To Fight At UFC 90 And UFN 16

Josh Koscheck has today announced that he will endeavor to fight at both UFC 90 and UFN 16.

There are a lot of variables which will affect these plans, the main one being whether Koscheck comes out of his fight against Thiago Alves unharmed. In the event of an injury or medical suspension, he will be unable to fight Yoshiyuki Yoshida on December 10th, just 6 weeks later.

Koscheck is serving as a last minute replacement against Thiago Alves next weekend, after Diego Sanchez pulled out of the co main event due to injury.

Diego Out, Koscheck In At UFC 90

Diego Sanchez has been pulled from his UFC 90 bout with Thiago Alves due to injury.

Sanchez is suffering from damaged ribs, which were originally thought to be a ruptured spleen. No expected recovery time has been announced.

Josh Koscheck will serve as a replacement for this fight. Koscheck was expected to fight on the "Fight for the Troops" card in December, but has been bumped forward at short notice for this fight. It is unknown whether he will still fight in December.

The event takes place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on October 25th.
