LAS VEGAS – After Mike Pierce called him out on MMAjunkie.com Radio and ultimately got the fight he wanted, opponent Josh Koscheck labeled him a stepping stone and promised to send him back to the welterweight division’s middle of the pack.

Koscheck earned a close decision win, but Pierce’s stock will suffer little.

The main-card bout was part of UFC 143 and aired on pay-per-view from Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center.

LAS VEGAS – UFC welterweight contender Josh Koscheck knows he’s probably going to get booed when he walks to the octagon
this Saturday night. After all, when you’re known as “the most hated
man in MMA,” you really can’t expect cheers.

“Hey, that’s a title right?” Koscheck joked.

But after finding himself on the receiving end of a Mike Pierce call-out, Koscheck now finds himself in a fight he wasn’t
expecting. Koscheck had actually hoped to fight at 185 pounds, but he’s since tapped into motivation in spades.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – When it comes to pre-fight mean-mugging, bantamweight
Mike Easton is among the pound-for-pound best in the sport.

And while “The Hulk” is comfortable chalking up his motivational rage to
a clear case of Napoleon complex, the 5-foot-6 scrapper doesn’t let it
control him at all times.

Take for instance, his rivalry with Jared Papazian, which resulted in what
what many think should have been UFC on FX 1′s “Fight of the Night.”
Now that it’s over, Easton said the respect can begin.
