Georges St-Pierre triumphantly defended his welterweight championship belt for the fifth time now against the “trash-talking” Ultimate Fighter star Josh Koscheck on Dec 11 at UFC 124: St. Pierre vs Koscheck 2 at the Bell Centre in Quebec, Canada cementing his position as the nest mixed martial artist in the world.
The fight ended a unanimous decision, scoring 50-45 on all three judges all in favor of GSP.
During the first round of the fight, the contender Josh Koscheck showed perseverance of taking GSP down but he failed. “Rush” (GSP’s nickname) gave him a full force punch that made his right eye swollen and finish him in five dominating rounds.
It seems Koscheck was in total silence now as he retorted this message before the fight begins. “"I can't wait to hear the sound of 23,000 French Canadians in total silence." But with Georges St-Pierre winning over him, he made the Canadians out of control of their chants and yells.
GSP had given the crowd a great fight and was very aggressive to not just win the fight but knock Koscheck down. After the fight, the 29-year Canadian born fighter gave this statement. “I want to be the greatest."I didn't reach my goal tonight. My goal was to take him out, but he was very tough.”
The match had been greatly anticipated by many and was very much pleased with the result. Reviews gave more positive comments for GSP rather than Koscheck.
One notable comment from reviews says “I don’t want to believe that there is an absolute born fighter, but here we are witnessing George St-Pierre about to make history here in UFC. He’s like Manny Pacquiao, a formidable fighter.”
Canadians dominated the fights from undercard division.
