"I'm sure they're going to be on Georges' side, chanting GSP all the time and booing me. It is what it is. I've still got to go in there and win the fight. Right now, I'm just focused on my next couple days of training, getting my weight down, and come to Montreal and shut all 23,000 people up... I don't know, it will probably be the same [response LeBron James got in Cleveland]... My plan is to shut them all up and knock Georges St-Pierre out."
-Josh Koscheck talks to MMAWeekly.com and compares the reaction he'll receive in Montreal to that of LeBron James upon his return to Cleveland last week in the NBA.
Penick's Analysis: I think the reaction will actually be more extreme in this fight than LeBron got last week. Koscheck's coming in as public enemy #1 in Montreal, and with what could be the largest attendance for an event in North America, it could be the biggest reaction ever seen for a UFC fight. The atmosphere on Saturday is going to be insane, and I can't wait to see how it comes across on the pay-per-view. Fans that are actually attending the event are going to be in for a special fight, and they'll be lucky to be in attendance.
