Georges St. Pierre breaks Josh Koscheck

While Georges St. Pierre asserted himself once again as the promotion’s top welterweight fighter in the world with a very one-sided decision victory over perennial contender Josh Koscheck last Saturday, the “Kos” himself isn’t feeling nearly as cheerful as his French Canadian adversary.

GSP dictated the pace at UFC 124 during his successful title defense against the American Kickboxing Academy product with a stiff jab that did a lot of damage, and eventually helped aid “Rush” to clean sweep the welterweight clash, 50-45 across the board.

Now after having snapped his three-fight winning streak inside the cage, Koscheck will have to overcome a stinging second loss to GSP, and a broken orbital bone to boot.

Early in the first round, Koscheck was already visibly worse for the wear, due to the jab. And over the course of five rounds, GSP’s jab landed time and time again, and as a result you get what you see above in the captioned picture.

Though both men picked up “Fight of the Night” honors, it’s Josh will have to sit on the sidelines for a 60-day suspension handed down by the Quebec State Athletic Commission in Canada. Here are the rest of the medical suspensions, thanks to MMAJunkie.com for the find.
