GSP vs. Josh Koscheck set for Montreal, December 11

No surprise that Montreal has been announced as the venue for Georges St. Pierre vs. Josh Koscheck. UFC 124 will rock the Bell Centre on December 11 in the wake of the GSP- and Koscheck-coached 12th season of The Ultimate Fighter, which begins airing on September 15 on Spike. Actually, there’s a little surprise since Koscheck was vehement that he wouldn’t face GSP on GSP’s home turf following UFC 113, which saw Koscheck beat Paul Daley, get sucker-punched and then trash the Montreal Canadiens. I’m sure UFC president Dana White subsequently reminded Koscheck that Montreal is the UFC’s biggest market (at least until Toronto hosts its first event) and that will mean greater attention (and earnings) for all of the fighters.
