Dan Hardy has revealed his No. 1 pick for a next opponent in the welterweight division, selecting perennial bad boy Josh Koscheck.

Hardy expects to return to action in March or April of 2013, but is unaware who his next rival will be after wins over Duane Ludwig and Amir Sadollah.

Koscheck is also desperate for an Octagon return after writing off the rest of the year, but it would be a surprise to see Hardy make the leap from Sadollah to a top talent like Koscheck. The Outlaw, though, is ready if called.

"There's a lot of talent in the division, so many good guys coming up, and obviously, guys that have been at the top that aren't maybe right near the top at the moment," Hardy said on Fuel TV.

"I'm open. There's a lot of good fighters, a lot fun fights. Maybe Koscheck on The Ultimate Fighter… if I had to choose."

One man Hardy has little interest in is Matt Riddle, who is coming off a win over England's John Maguire. Riddle called out Hardy for a second time, clearly attempting to use the Brit's name to boost his own profile.

That is not the type of business Hardy is in, and stylistically the matchup offers little to excite either. For those reasons, the Brit would rather look elsewhere.

"I'm not a matchmaker and that's not my job, but if I was to pick an opponent, [a fight with Riddle] wouldn't even come into my head, to be honest.

"I don't like looking at the guy, so obviously training for him for eight weeks would be tiring."

futurepr0n - Was being outwrestled by Anthony Johnson and GSP not enough for this guy?

Koscheck doesnt mind to stand and bang, but if he's smart he will just Wrestle and G&P. He should take the Riddle fight.

My opinion is, he looks like he's ducking Riddle now, even though his claim is that Riddle isnt big of a name or good enough -- I think with 2 wins in his last 6 fights, he would welcome the opportunity to beat a guy he believes he could..

Fighting K-os is a stretch for him right now, and I believe the fans want to see Hardy Riddle .. Main or Co Main a Fuel or FX card.

Lol at ducking riddle, the guy aint that good. He should fight koscheck, I think kos will stand with him Phone Post

Don't think it's the fact that he's ducking Riddle, seems like he wants the tougher fight. In this case, he will get outwrestled again. Phone Post

VicJenny 2 Member Since: 7/13/07 Posts: 1965	I'd like to see it, and Hardy has won his last 2 while Kos lost his last one, so I don't see why not. It seems like a bad matchup for Hardy, but if he wants it why not? It would be a decent draw without putting either against a guy very close to a title shot. You have ignored this user.
