UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck suffered a broken orbital bone during the first round of his championship fight versus Georges St. Pierre (21-2) Saturday night in Montreal, a source told ESPN.com. We hope he recovers quickly and applaud his fortitude for not giving up when the medical doctor asked if he wants to continue. Will French male nurses help him after his criticism of medic Brad Tate during the Ultimate Fighter (Tuf 12) GSP vs Koscheck?
French Male Nurses healing Kos who learns humility will all give us more faith in humanity. Men tend to respect each other more after beating each other up. e.g. Bruce Leroy & Michael Johnson.
"Karma is a bitch" living in Montreal
Thanks to ESPN's Josh Gross for reporting:
"Koscheck (15-5) was released from a Montreal-area hospital Sunday afternoon, according to his trainer, Bob Cook. He cannot fly home to San Jose, Calif., because an air pocket formed behind the broken orbital bone, making air travel dangerous. UFC officials arranged for Koscheck and Cook to drive Sunday afternoon from Montreal to Boston, where the 33-year-old fighter is expected to undergo surgery Monday or Tuesday.
"We're going to have a much better sense of the injury when we get to the States," Cook said. "We'll get it checked down there. Hopefully he can have the surgery there and head home as soon as possible."
St. Pierre, who went on to win a unanimous decision after five rounds, shut Koscheck's right eye in the opening round in front of 23,152 wildly partisan supporters inside the Belle Centre with a lunging jab. The 29-year-old champion attacked the right side of Koscheck's face the remainder of the bout with quick jabs and powerful left hooks. A ringside physician nearly called the bout at the end of the third round, however Koscheck was allowed to continue fighting."
