TORONTO -- Welterweight challenger Josh Koscheck says he will meet Canadian UFC title-holder Georges St-Pierre on Dec. 11.

The two 170-pounders recently wrapped up filming as rival coaches on Season 12 of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality TV series.

"Can't wait until tuf 12 airs in Sept! & oh ya did u guys know, that I am going to be the next welterweight champion come dec 11th," Koscheck tweeted.

Two sources confirmed the date, saying no venue has been chosen yet. In a perfect world, the UFC would love to stage the show in Toronto but the provincial government has yet to show any inclination to sanction mixed martial arts.

Koscheck (17-4) lost a unanimous non-title decision to St-Pierre at UFC 74 in August 2007. He is currently riding a three-fight win streak.

St-Pierre (20-2) has won his last seven fights, a string that includes four straight title defences.
