Is Florian vs. Huerta the best fight on the UFC 87 card?

UFC87’s main event features two fighters with a combined 18-2 record in the UFC, but with similar styles, GSP and Jon Fitch may not put on the show that Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta will. Brock Lesnar has the big following from his wrestling days, and has the size and aggression to succeed in the UFC, but can he bring the excitement like the Lightweights do? So look for Florian vs. Huerta to steal the show, both are aggressive strikers with great conditioning who are both good on the ground, give Florian a slight edge on the ground and Huerta a slight edge in punching power. No matter what the results may be, this one will be a war.

UFC 87 Fitch to get his title shot

Top contender Jon Fitch will get his long awaited title shot on 8/9/08 against champ Georges St Pierre. This will be a battle of two of the best ground fighters in the Welterweight division, Fitch will try and do what his teammate, Josh Koscheck was unable to do, and that is to try and put St Pierre on his back and keep him there.
St Pierre has the best takedowns in the business, and is himself extremely hard to take down, this will be a tall order for Fitch. Also on the UFC 87 fight card Kenny Florian vs Roger Huerta in a potential “fight of the night ” matchup
