UFC 87: Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch fight set for main event; Coleman injured
Written by UFCscene

Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre will put his belt on the line against number one contender Jon Fitch at UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn., on August 9.
St-Pierre of Fitch:
“He’s a very, very tough guy, I’m gonna have to train hard and be very well prepared because he may be my toughest fight yet.”
Jon Fitch:
“The whole goal is to get the belt and be in the position where guys can’t duck me, run away, or say they don’t want to fight me, if I have the belt, there’s no excuse, and if you say you’re the best, then we’re gonna fight. This is gonna be a tough fight, but I’m gonna make sure I’m sharp that night, and wherever the fight needs to go, that’s fine with me.”
UFC 87 also features heavyweight Brock Lesnar taking on a soon to be named opponent. Lesnar was originally scheduled to face UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman, but a knee injury has forced ‘The Hammer’ to withdraw from the show.
In other action, a lightweight eliminator match between Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta to determine the top seed in the 155-pound division.

Great news! Exactly how I predicted in the previous post. GSP vs. Fitch should be a very exciting fight. I think GSP will take out Fitch via TKO.
