Official "UFC 87: Seek and Destroy" Discussion

[xtremebadass]

UFC comes back to PPV LIVE! this Saturday night with UFC 87: Seek and Destroy!

Here is the schduled fight card:

I am dying to see if Lesnar bombs twice. I hope he wins and sticks with UFC a little longer, he is a big name and the man has cinder blocks for hands, he has knockout power. I am also anxious to see Manny step back into the octogon, I still think he should have won the Ultimate Fighter, not Diaz. Bottom line, I think GSP will retain here. What are your thoughts?


PS: Chris Wilson looks like Austin Aries, just thought of throwing that in.

I missed Lesnar last fight. Who did he face?

 

[xtremebadass]

He fought Frank Mir last February. Lesnar was pounding the living shit out of him until Frank Mir caunght him with an armbar I think. Anyways, the fight was all Lesnar until the last few seconds.

Heath Herring beat Kongo in his last fight, and Kongo is a great fighter, that's why this fight is more of a toss up than his last.

 

[Dre]

Yeah I know that he faced Frank Mir. But his record says 1-1. So was his last opponent? or is that W/L record is wrong?

 

[xtremebadass]

He beat Min Soo Kim in K1 HERO. He beat the crap out of that little japanese guy and the ref stopped it in the first round. I saw it streaming when it happened, he was dominant as hell.

 

[MTG]

GSP vs Jon Fitch: 3rd Round TKO
Brock Lesnar vs Heath Herring: 2nd Round KO
Kenny Florian vs Roger Huerta: Split Decision (this is a tough one though, their both great fighters but i think huerta might be a bit rusty, his last fight was about 8 months ago and florian is coming of an impressive victory over L'auzon.

Many gamburian vs rob emerson: First round Submission
Jason MacDonald Vs. Demian Maia: 2nd Round Submission
Luke Cummo Vs. Tamdan McCrory: Unanimous Decision
Cheick Kongo Vs. Dan Evensen: Split Decision
Andre Gusmao Vs. Jon Jones: Never Heard of either (2 ufc debuts)
Chris Wilson Vs. Steve Bruno: 2nd round TKO (wilson lasted 3 rounds with fitch)

Ben Saunders Vs. Ryan Thomas: Unanimous Decision

Overall seems like a pretty good card. I'm excited for the GSP/Fitch fight, Herring/Lesnar shoudl be an all out brawl, should be fun and Kenflo vs Huerta should be great, I'm really hoping they brodcast the Kongo fight aswell

 

[xtremebadass]

I always liked Cheick Kongo, all he does is walk around the ring pounding his chest like an African Warrior from God or something, he is kinda "out there" but he kicks ass.

GSP vs. Fitch is going to be something to see for sure, it's going to surprise everyone I predict.

All in all, this is do or die for Lesnar man, I hope he can get the job done.

 

[PeepShow]

I could care less about the entire undercard. The top 3 matches are really the only thing I will be tuning in for. I thought about ordering this, but I just don't see paying 50 bucks for 3 matches. I'll just watch via stream. Money's on Lesnar over Herring, St. Pierre over Fitch and Huerta over Florian.

Definitely going down to Uccello's this weekend to see the fight. Brocks and GSP's fights are going to be amazing no doubt. Also looking forward to the Manny vs. Emerson. I became a fan of Emerson when watching him on Ultimate Fighter. But he's definitely not going to have it easy as Manny is a fucking beast.

 

[xtremebadass]

I mainly want to see Lesnar. I am not into the Welterweight Division except Matt Serra. I am into HW and LHW. Silva is pulling me into Middleweight, but that's beyond the point. Lesnar is a huge selling point for UFC, so I would imagine if he does still lose, they would keep him just because of his marketability. However, if he loses 3 straight, that's pretty damn bad.

 

[Qwake]

This looks alright, I won't by it but I will definately watch Lesnar again, I think he will win this time cause he must have learnt from last time. It should be a great one...

 

[xtremebadass]

Anyone see Countdown to UFC 87 yesterday after TNA? I became a Roger Huerta fan, that guy had a crazy childhood dude. It was sort of depressing.

 

[Wrestling Station]

The official weigh in show was good. I was laughing when Joe Rogan said the fight between Luke Cummo vs Tamdan Mccrory is the battle of the nerds! :roflmao:

 

[xtremebadass]

lol I saw that WS, hilarious

Here are my final predictions for tonight...

GSP vs. Fitch
Florian vs. Huerta
Lesnar vs. Herring
Manny vs. Emerson
Kongo vs. Evenson
Saunders vs. Thomas
MacDonald vs. Maia
Cummo vs. McCrory
Gusmao vs. Jones
Wilson vs. Bruno

Predictions anyone?

 

[J]

People are calling Manny over Emerson. But I'm almost sure Emerson is going to pull it off.
