MONTREAL — Josh Koscheck had six weeks to get under Georges St. Pierre‘s skin, six weeks to needle him, taunt him, bait him to react. St. Pierre rarely showed any hint that Koscheck’s mind games were getting to him, even though it’s fairly obvious now that he wants to finish his challenger in a decisive manner, partially as retribution for the constant verbal barrages that came his way during filming of The Ultimate Fighter.
Of course, Koscheck isn’t the first guy to try to work his way into St. Pierre’s head; he’s only the latest. And the UFC welterweight champion says his UFC 124 challenger is not the best of the bunch when it comes to talking smack.
In fact, St. Pierre rates him at No. 3.
