Koscheck using the phantom knee might not be right, but it played a head game with Daley. Between the knee thing and the wrestling he totally threw Daley off his game and what happened at the end was Daley feeling stupid because Kos made him look like a jackass.
Secondly, Koscheck saying what he said is fine. The crowd gave it to him and he gave back, it is fair game.
Finally, Koscheck v. GSP will be a good match-up. When they last fought Kos was focusing on a lot more of his stand up than his wrestling and GSP out wrestled him and Kos knows this. I think he has learned from that mistake and this bout will be a lot different.
Although I don't have a problem with what Kos said, I disagree that it's fair game. It's one thing to taunt the crowd in pro wrestling, but these guys are supposed to be professional athletes. It's something that White stresses in like every interview. And in most professional sports leagues, if you don't get a fine for taunting the crowd like that it's at least heavily frowned upon. I don't think it was over the line, all things considered, but it was definitely near it.
