UFC confirm that rivals will clash in Montreal on December 11
The highly-anticipated rematch between welterweight rivals Georges St-Pierre and Josh Koscheck will take place in Montreal on December 11.
The two fighters will square off at the Bell Centre in St-Pierre's home city at UFC 124: St-Pierre vs Koscheck.
The bout will be a rematch as St-Pierre defeated the 32-year-old American three years ago to start a run of seven victories that has seen him become welterweight champion.
And the Canadian, who leads a team against Koscheck in The Ultimate Fighter, is certain that he will secure another victory in front of a partisan home crowd.
"I'm so happy that I get to fight Josh Koscheck in front of my home crowd," St-Pierre said.
"He was very disrespectful during the filming of The Ultimate Fighter and I didn't say a word.
Crowd
"Now on December 11, I get to answer back with my fists. Last time I fought in Montreal, it was so loud the Octagon was shaking. I know the crowd will be even louder for this fight."
Koscheck defeated British fighter Paul Daley to become the number one contender and is determined not to pass up the second chance he has been given.
"I'm excited about the fight. It's a big rematch for me and in life you don't get second chances that often so I plan on taking advantage of this second chance," he said.
"I am training every aspect of the game and can't wait to go fight in December and bring that belt back to the States. I will put on a show like I always do."
UFC president Dana White is also relishing the fight and is expecting an incredible atmosphere in Montreal.
White said: "I love this fight. GSP is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world and Josh Koscheck is not the same fighter Georges fought last time.
"There is no doubt that this is a title fight between the two best 170-pounders in the world. Koscheck told the people of Montreal he's going to walk into Georges' hometown and take the title.
"This fight is going to blow the roof off the Bell Centre."
