JOSH KOSCHECK VS. MIKE PIERCE AT FIGHT NIGHT 20
Friday, October 16, 2009 - by Steven Marrocco - MMAWeekly.com
A welterweight match-up between Josh Koscheck and Mike Pierce is planned for UFC Fight Night 20 on Jan. 11 in Northern Virginia.
Sources close to the fight say bout agreements have yet to be signed, although verbal agreements are in place. Koscheck confirmed the fight on his official Twitter account Friday afternoon.
Word of the Fight Night card first broke on Thursday when the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation confirmed the UFC's request of the January date, though the office could not confirm the event or its location.
Koscheck (17-4) has met mixed success in 2009, having recently defeated Frank Trigg by TKO at UFC 103 and lost by KO to Paulo Thiago at UFC 95. Still, the original "Ultimate Fighter" alum has made a home in the upper tier of the 170-pound division, with a 12-4 record inside the Octagon.
Pierce (10-1) recently made a splash in his UFC debut, defeating former WEC contender Brock Larson by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 19.
