UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy” Bonuses
UFC 87 gave mixed martial arts fans some all around great action. Only three fights can get the bonuses the UFC give out. The usual three are Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night and Knockout of the Night.
Each one of the fight bonus winners will take home an additional $60,000 on top of their paycheck amount (not yet known).
Fight of the Night: Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
Submission of the Night: Demian Maia
Knockout of the Night: Rob Emerson
I would not disagree with any of these picks. Obviously Emerson deserved KO of the night with his 12 second fight. Demian Maia had no competition getting the only submission on the card. GSP Vs. Jon Fitch was a great fight, Fitch showed huge heart lasting all the way through the five rounds.
UFC 87 Event Preview
It’s the 1st of August. We are now only a week and a day away from UFC 87: “Seek and Destroy”. It is one of the UFC’s best cards in recent events featuring a title bout between new welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Jon Fitch. Kenny Florian who is the current analyst on ESPN’s “MMA Live” will be looking to advance in the lightweight division as he takes on Roger Huerta one of the greatest lightweights around. The fight that I am most interested in seeing is the one between heavyweight hopeful and former WWE superstar Brock Lesner. He will be taking on MMA veteren Heath Herring. Herring has had is fair share of fights and will be looking to put a stop to Brock Lesners MMA hopes. The other two main card fights feature Manny Gamburyan vs. Rob Emerson in a lightweight bout and a middleweight bout between Jason MacDonald and Demian Maia will be the opening bout.
