UFC 87 this Saturday, with 3 big matches I'm super excited for.
Georges St. Pierre (c) vs. Jon Fitch - St. Pierre has proven to be a great fighter, but so has Jon Fitch. Fitch is riding a crazy unbeaten streak (I think 15 according to Sherdog), with wins via TKO, submission and decision. Not sure if he's gone through 5 rounds before, but I'm thinking his cardio will be good enough to hold up. Whether it's good enough to hold up against St. Pierre is the better question. Pierre has proven to be practically unstoppable when he's focused, but will this fight go the same as St. Pierre/Serra 1? I'm going St. Pierre with ref stoppage, 3rd round.
Roger Huerta vs. Kenny Florian
2 very exciting fighters, I have very high expectations for this fight. From Huerta using the big screen to land reverse elbows, or to Florian's crazy razor elbows, I'm thinking this will be fight of the night. Florian via split decision.
Heath Herring vs Brock Lesnar
I used to be a big fan of Lesnar back in WWF, and am happy to see him pursuing MMA. That said, I think Herring may have too much experience for him. Fought in Pride between 2000-2004, facing practically all the popular fighters there. And still a year younger than Brock! With that said, I still have high hopes for Lesnar. If he's trained with the right coaches, I think he can really be a tough opponent for Herring. Aw hell, I love Lesnar, so I say 2nd round TKO.
