Just a reminder that we will have the stream of the UFC 124 post-fight presser here after tonight’s event. It should be live around 1:00 am ET, but check in after the broadcast ends as it may start a few minutes early.
Will Koscheck get Tito next?
Will GSP fight Jake Shields in Toronto in March?
Will the UFC finally match up Thiago Alves with Dan Hardy?
Did Dana try poutine?
All of these questions and more will be answered after the jump.

Well, tonight’s the night we get to see if Josh Koscheck is full of shit or if he really has improved exponentially more than UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has since the last time they met three years ago.
I find it interesting that in the UFC 124 previews the UFC is touting Kos as some kind of pugilistic wrecking machine when he has only won one fight by KO and two by TKO since 2006 and the guys he beat (Yoshiyuki Yoshida, Frank Trigg and Dustin Hazelett) aren’t exactly known for their durable chins.
If I had to make a surefire prediction for the main event bout, I’d say that Koscheck’s ego has not gotten over the fact that GSP, who didn’t even wrestle in high school, outwrestled a division one champion like him, and he will likely try to prove himself on the mat and not on the feet.
It may have been a coincidence, but Kos’ American Kickboxing Academy teammate, Phil Baroni backed my inclination when he told us this week that the peroxided prick is a way better wrestler and that he will control the fight with his wrestling. I’m guessing that Baroni was around when the AKA coaches worked on implementing Kocheck’s game plan for the fight during training and may have included portions of it in his own prediction, kind of like his plethora of "borrowed" daily Twitter quotes he intertwines with his own personal NYBA witticisms.
Whatever the case may be, it should be interesting to see if GSP lets him execute anything before he puts his own strategy into motion.
Let’s get this thing going.

MONTREAL — If you happen to be watching UFC 124 on Saturday night, just before Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck tangle, you will be presented with a heavyweight fight.
When the first fighter walks out, your response might be: “Who?”
Don’t worry, Sean McCorkle understands. Just a few months ago, McCorkle was a relatively unknown MMA super-heavyweight who wasn’t exactly on MMA’s international radar when he was plucked by UFC matchmaker Joe Silva to face former PRIDE and K-1 striker Mark Hunt. McCorkle needed just 67 seconds to force Hunt to tap out.

In the last edition of Fighter vs. Writer, I smoked “Mr. International” Shonie Carter by a healthy margin with my UFC 123 picks. The victory was sweet, and somewhat rare, but it’s over now and all that matters is the next showdown.
With UFC 124 going down in Montreal tonight, I tapped UFC heavyweight and former “Ultimate Fighter” contestant Matt Mitrione to go head-to-head with me in a fight-picking battle to the death.
When it came to making picks, Mitrione was easily the most enthusiastic and verbose opponent I’ve faced in this series, but is he the most formidable? Find out below, but be warned, some of his picks may shock you…

UFC 124: St. Pierre vs. Koscheck II goes down tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal, and CagePotato will be liveblogging the pay-per-view broadcast beginning at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. To help get you in the proper spirit, Ben Goldstein and Doug "ReX13" Richardson have returned to squabble over all the important storylines. Does Josh Koscheck have any chance at an upset? Are UFC fighters becoming boring overall? Which of UFC 124’s lightweights are dead weight? Who gives worse gambling advice, Ben or Doug? Do us a favor and slog through this painfully long column, then let us know your own thoughts in the comments section.
Assuming we both think GSP is going to rout Josh Koscheck on Saturday, what does Koscheck need to do to earn your respect in this fight?
BG: Well, he’ll have to avoid getting finished, first of all–
RX: Word.
BG: –and he’ll have to win at least one of the five rounds. That doesn’t seem like a lot to ask–
RX: HA!
BG: –but nobody’s been able to take a round from GSP since — wait for it — Josh Koscheck kind-of won the opening frame of their first meeting at UFC 74, over three years ago. Seriously. If Kos can avoid a 50-45 shutout on all three judges’ cards or an ugly TKO loss, he will have done better than Matt Hughes, Matt Serra (in their rematch), Jon Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, and Dan Hardy. That would be a hell of an accomplishment.
So how can he pull it off? Koscheck only holds one real advantage over the champ: Punching power, which he’s used to flatten guys like Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Frank Trigg. Kos just needs to stuff St. Pierre’s takedown once in a while, and then put his fist on Georges’s chin, as he so confidently promised on TUF. A hard shot, well-placed, will wobble GSP — maybe enough to allow Josh to score a takedown of his own. Obviously, I don’t see that happening consistently in the fight, but if it even happens once, I will lose my shit.
