I don’t have much longer in this career and at this point I want to take big fights, big names, and sell the hell out of the fight and go in there and perform and win, Koscheck told MMAWeekly.com recently.

Speaking very honestly about his standing in the welterweight division, Koscheck knows that as long as Georges St-Pierre is champion, he’s not likely to get a third shot at the belt, having lost to the Canadian twice already.

I don’t see myself fighting for the title any time soon unless Georges loses, Koscheck stated. Would you guys want to see a third GSP/Koscheck fight right away? I mean, I’m down for it don’t get me wrong, but that’s a tough sell for the UFC.

So what is Koscheck looking for at this stage of his career?

I’m trying to get paid, said Koscheck. I’m working to renegotiate my contract right now. That’s probably why I’m not fighting in San Jose (at UFC 139), but it will all work out. Speak with the UFC in the next couple of weeks and get a new contract and I’ll fight wherever they want me to fight.

I’m a money fighter; I’m about making money.
