By FCF Staff Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck will fight for the second time, December 11th, at UFC 124 in Montreal, Quebec, according to multiple reports today. The rematch will be hosted by the city’s Bell Centre, and will take place after the conclusion of the upcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter”, that will see GSP and Koscheck coach opposite one another.
The following post appeared on Koscheck’s official Twitter page this morning:
"2 get what u have never had u must do what u've never done." Looks like we going 2 Russia aka.(MTL) kids on dec 11 :)
The location and date of the bout was first reported by MMA Fighting.com, citing a confirmation from UFC President Dana White.
St. Pierre and Kosheck first fought in August, 2007, when the current welterweight champion dominated Koscheck en route to a Unanimous Decision win. GSP has won 6 straights bout since the fight, while the accomplished collegiate wrestler Koscheck has gone 6-2.
It will be interesting to see how Koscheck is greeted by Montreal fans on December 11th; following his UD win over Paul Daley at UFC 113, the outspoken welterweight declared that both St. Pierre and the city’s beloved Montreal Canadiens hockey team, were headed for losses.
