When Thiago found out that he would be fighting against Josh Koscheck instead of Diego Sanchez he was excited because Josh had beaten Diego and it was a better opportunity for him. His game plan was the same for both fghters, keep it standing and try to knock him out. He is next in line to fight the winner of GSP vs BJ Penn and feels even if it's BJ it will be tough despite the weight difference. He is going to wait to fight and has just slowly got back to training because of a thumb injury which happened very Koscheck. During his fights Thiago does not feel anything and remembers pieces of it, he considers himself a hitman in the ring and he just has to get the job done. Outside of training he likes to talk with friends and family and party in south Beach and went back to Brazil for a little while after his last fight.
