After three years since their first bout, a great deal of trash talk and a well-received season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre and original “TUF” contestant Josh Koscheck are set to do battle at UFC 124.
Though most experts believe the buyrate will rank below UFC 116 and UFC 121, the two 2010 events headlined by Brock Lesnar, the matchup undoubtedly represents one of mixed martial arts’ most high-profile of the year. And while the card itself is not star-studded–a fight between Stefan Struve and Sean McCorkle has been booked as the co-main-event–the undercard is filled with potentially-great matchups.
The final card, including weigh-in results and betting odds, follows. Weigh-in data courtesy UFC, Odds courtesy Bodog:
