Talking Points
Later tonight is what I call maybe the most underrated UFC show of the year. UFC 87 has three big fights, all with heavy intrigue. Yesterday, we previewed the big three fights and the majority of our writers (4-1 votes for each fight) had Georges St. Pierre winning late by stoppage, Brock Lesnar winning early by stoppage, and Kenny Florian winning by decision.
We will have live play by play coverage updated after every fight as well as twitter updates in our twitter feed on the right hand side of our home page. We gotcha covered.
