MONTREAL – After waiting more than three years for the rematch, Josh Koscheck could implement little new and suffered a lopsided unanimous-decision loss to welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre in the headliner of Saturday’s UFC 124 event.

St-Pierre set the tone early with crisp striking, and he continually wore down the challenger through the five-round title fight.

The bout headlined a record-breaking event at Montreal’s Bell Centre, which drew nearly 24,000 fans and is expected to break the UFC’s and North America’s MMA attendance and live-gate records.
