Venue:Target Center, MN

UFC 87 Main Event
UFC Welterweight Championship bout:

Canadian_MMA_Fighter.gif Georges St. Pierre  vs American_MMA_Fighter.gif Jon Fitch

Georges "Rush" St. Pierre will continue his winning ways against Jon "Two Face" Fitch. Lately "Two Face" has only been showing his I win by decision face, and that will not get it done against "Rush". GSP will win by TKO round 2.

UFC  Lightweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Kenny Florian vs American_MMA_Fighter.gif Roger Huerta

This one looks to be a great fight. Kenny "Ken Flo" Florian has looked unstoppable since his lose to Sean Sherk. Roger "El Matador" Huerta has not lost since June of 2004, with his last six fights in the UFC. I still have to go with "Ken-Flo" by TKO in round 3.

UFC  Heavyweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Brock Lesnar vs American_MMA_Fighter.gif Heath Herring

Brock "The UFC's Kimbo" Lesnar has gotten so much hype for all of 2 minutes and 39 seconds of an MMA career. Heath "Texas Crazy Horse" Herring has been up and down since he arrived in the UFC, but I think he got some things sorted before his last win over Cheick Kongo. "Texas Crazy Horse" will beat Lesnar by another submission in round 1.

UFC  Heavyweight bout:

Looking to get back to the win column Cheick Kongo vs To big a step up in competition Dan Evensen

Cheick "The French Sensation" Kongo was on his way to a title shot before he got derailed by Heath Herring. Dan Evensen has not fought the same level of competition that "The French Sensation" has, so I have to say that "The French Sensation" will KO the man from Norway in round 1.

UFC  Welterweight bout:


American_MMA_Fighter.gif Chris Wilson vs  American_MMA_Fighter.gif Steve Bruno

Chris "The Professor" Wilson will look to notch his first UFC victory after a decision loss in his debut to Jon Fitch. Steve Bruno will hope to make a good showing, so he can take a break from fighting in Korea. I have to pick "The Professor" by submission in round 2.

UFC  Wetlerweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Ben Saunders  vs American_MMA_Fighter.gif Ryan Thomas

Ben Saunders has a new nick name. He changed from "Beserk" to "Killa B". I liked "Beserk" better, but it is not my nick name. Ryan Thomas has ended his last 3 fights in the first round, but I think the "Killa B's" size will be to much for him to overcome in this MMA fight. I am picking Ben "Killa B" Saunders to win in round 2 by TKO.


UFC Welterweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Tamden McCrory vs  American_MMA_Fighter.gif Luke Cummo

Tamden "The Barn Cat" McCrory is coming off the first loss of his career, and has not fought since 2007. Luke Cummo is also coming off of a loss, his fifth. I was going to pick "The Barn Cat" to win, but I can't pick against someone who drinks their own pee, how tough is that.....freak. So I am going to say that Luke "Mmmm Pee" Cummo will win by a submission in round 3.

UFC Lightweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Robert Emerson vs Flag of Armenia Manvel Gamburyan

If the fight goes to the ground, Manvel "The Anvil" Gamburyan will end it quickly. If it is a stand up mma battle, then "Ruthless" Robert Emerson has a chance to win. Emerson is the only mma fighter that started their career 0 and 4 that made it to the UFC, and has turned it around nicely. Manvel Gamburyan's only two losses are to Sean Sherk and Nate Diaz, if he did not have a bum shoulder, his career would be much farther along.


UFC Middleweight bout:

Brazilian_MMA_Fighter.gif Demian Maia vs American_MMA_Fighter.gif Jason MacDonald

Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald will one of the more experienced fighters that Demian Maia has faced in MMA competition. Maia is an up and coming submission wizard. One interesting tidbit is that both "The Athlete" and Demian Maia have won Submission of the Night bonuses in the UFC by submitting Ed Herman with a triangle choke. I am picking Maia in this one, I think he could have a very exciting future in MMA.


UFC Light Heavyweight bout:

American_MMA_Fighter.gif Jon Jones vs Brazilian_MMA_Fighter.gif Andre Gusmao

This is a match up of two undefeated fighters. I am picking Andre Gusmao to win by TKO in round 2.
