MONTREAL – While top UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck secured a future
title shot against champion Georges St-Pierre with a
win at Saturday night’s UFC 113 event, the fighter did little to endear himself to the Canadian crowd.
After wincing in pain at what appeared to be a glancing (albeit illegal)
knee and smothering brash opponent Paul Daley for three rounds in a
relatively stale affair, Koscheck took to the mic to predict a loss for
the NHL’s Montreal
Canadiens.
The move ensured Koscheck will forever reside as an enemy of the
Montreal crowd, and the former collegiate wrestling champion said he now has
no desire to fight St-Pierre on his home turf.
