Josh Koscheck said he’s out for a minimum of six months as he heals from a broken orbital bone he suffered in the fight, which took place Dec. 11 in Montreal.
St-Pierre has asked for a rematch, at least when it comes to the home-run challenge he lost during the filming of “The Ultimate Fighter 12.” The two served as opposing coaches on the reality show before squaring off in Canada.
“As soon as I get healthy, we’ve got a little one-on-one competition,” Koscheck said just prior to signing autographs at the one-year anniversary celebration for the first UFC Gym opening.
“It’s boring as hell. I can see why people want to fight for longer than ever. I’m like, ‘What the hell do I do?'”
“I think (Jake Shields) it’s an easy fight for Georges if he plays a smart game plan. But Jake Shields is definitely a good fighter. He’s got some weapons. He’s got a good guillotine, and he’s vicious on top.”
“Georges beat me fair and square that night, He’s a better fighter, but I think that the first punch of the fight was when I broke my eye. So I thought that it was definitely bad luck on my behalf. That’s life. He threw the punch, and it was a good punch. I definitely think the fight would have been a lot different if that wasn’t the case.”
“I’ll continue to grind and build my way up to being the No. 1 contender and put myself back in the position. Right now, that’s so far away for me. I still have five months of recovery.”
