St-Pierre took a close unanimous decision over Koscheck in their only meeting at UFC 74 in August of 2007. It was his first fight since being humbled by Matt Serra just four months prior. The loss to Serra was a watershed moment in GSP's career, as he morphed into the sport's most dominant wrestler following the devastating upset.
Although the blueprint has allowed him to enjoy seven consecutive victories en route to regaining the title, the "conservative" style has irked some of his fans. There is no denying GSP has the game to unleash spectacular finishes, but for whatever reason hasn't been able to do so on a consistent basis.
While most would be grateful to stockpile wins at the rate St-Pierre is, when you want your name to be mentioned as MMA's G.O.A.T., an abundance of highlight reel endings are a must – a sentiment the wrestler acknowledged recently.
"I'm not satisfied about my ratio of knockouts," GSP told Tapology.com. "I have knockouts, but I want to bring my ratio up. I'm more powerful than I was, and by being more powerful I'm faster as well. Power is strength and speed together."

I wonder if he is hinting at a strategy change against KOS?
