UFC 87: Seek and Destroy - August 9, 2008

[daniyal]

Here we go, so after a successful PPV by Affliction we have the much awaited UFC event coming up, there's a lot of talk going around about the Huerta and Florian fight so what do guys have to say? any one going to watch this? predictions?

Here's the card:

Champ Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
Heath Herring vs. Brock Lesnar
Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta
Jason MacDonald vs. Demian Maia
Rob Emerson vs. Manny Gamburyan
Luke Cummo vs. Tamdan McCrory
Dan Evensen vs. Cheick Kongo
Andre Gusmao vs. Jon Jones
Steve Bruno vs. Chris Wilson
Ben Saunders vs. Ryan Thomas

Not a very exciting card may be two good fights in there.

Edit: on second thought there probably are more than two good fights in this card but its good to see Cummo back in action.

I'll probably watch the highlight reels tomorrow.

Jon Fitch earned this shot against St. Pierre. He's a tough kid, and he's racked up some strong wins.... I hope he can pull it off.

My other favorites are Demian Maia and Jason MacDonald -- it's a shame they are fighting one another. I met Demian in Sao Paulo back in 2005 for ADCC and he's a nice kid with SICK ground skills. I met MacDonald in Canada for the 2005 North American Qualifiers for ADCC -- he's frickin CRAZY. There is no quit in Jason. I hate to see either lose....
