It was meant as a joke, but Louis Cosce was dead serious when asked if he offered to step in for his older brother Orion when an injury forced his sibling out of a UFC 255 bout with 24-fight MMA veteran Nicolas Dalby.
“I did,” Cosce said. “I actually tried to get that fight before Orion did. I tried stealing that one.”
The 25-year-old laughs, but with just seven pro fights, he did want to test himself against the Danish veteran who has competed six times in the Octagon.
“I thought I could beat the dude when I first watched him,” said Cosce.
