Hardy on Kos: Like a **** that wont flush away

Following his highlight-reel finish of Anthony Johnson by a second-round submission, Josh Koscheck got on the microphone and argued he should be next to receive the next title shot at welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre.
Problem: The UFC had already announced that Dan Hardy would be the next challenge to St. Pierre’s throne.
Can’t blame a guy for trying.
I had thought about doing it before I got out there, said Koscheck, on his decision to call out Hardy who was sitting ringside. But obviously the UFC has plans for him to fight St. Pierre and I’m not concerned with that.
A title shot for me isn’t going to happen so I’m just going to keep fighting.
Hardy was less than cordial in his responses to Koscheck’s outburst. Hardy dismissed the fighter as being inconsistent and made crying gestures towards the Octagon while he plead his case.
The thing about Josh Koscheck is that he’s got a lot of potential but he’s inconsistent, Hardy said. He’s kind of like a (expletive) that won’t flush away. He’ll lose a fight and then come back. I guess I don’t mind, I never get sick of seeing that guy get punched in the face.
Hardy, who has never been known to back down from a bit of trash-talk, was likely just defending what’s his — a title shot that he earned by defeating all four opponents he’s faced in the UFC.
