| User Reviews |  | Brock's REVENGE!
rating: 5
Brock Lesnar returns to the UFC after getting screwed in his fight against Frank Mir, to fight former Pride veteran Heath Herring. Heath Herring's team talked alot of trash to Brock before the fight saying that Brock was beneath Heath and not worthy to fight Herring.
Lesnar takes it personally and gets his REVENGE! The result of this fight catapults Lesnar to a title fight with Randy Couture on Nov 15th 2008.
GSP fights Fitch for the Welterweight Title. Fitch proves once again he can take a beating. I wish UFC would release their PPV on Blu Ray.

Great Main Card-Crappy Pre-lims(according to Dana White)
rating: 5
UFC 87:Seek and Destroy was the place to be on August 9, 2008. It was a night packed with action, lots of exciting decision wins, and well....it turned out the way everyone thought it would for the most part.
Huerta vs Florian. Thought to be one of the more exciting fights of the year, some people were questioning just how exciting it would be and it turned out to not be one of the greatest fights(still a very good one though). Basically what this fight came down to was game plans. Huerta usually has a tendency to go crazy in his fight and always looks to KO someone with a punch or a knee everytime he throws one. Anyone who knows the way Florian fights knows that he is a master of game plans and is one of the most intelligent fighters in MMA. I was looking at this fight knowing Huerta's game plans from before would not work with Kenny because he is such a smart fighter and will not brawl with Huerta whenever a punch is thrown. So the question is does Huerta change up his style for this fight or does Florian's masterful game plan succeed?
Lesnar vs Herring. Brock Lesnar, 0-1 in UFC at the time, was returning from his loss to Frank Mir at 81 by submission to take on the Texas Crazy Horse, Heath Herring, who was coming off a split decision win over Cheick Kongo at UFC 82. Herring was coming from a brand new training camp and claimed to be in the best shape of his life. As for Lesnar, the dude is just a beast of a wrestler and one tough guy. The fight starts off with a bang that I think no one expected. There were so many questions unanswered as to whether or not Lesnar is the real deal. I think this fight proves that.
GSP vs Fitch. Did anyone think this fight would go the other way? We all know how great GSP is but Fitch was coming to this fight to show he would be a great champion and he does to a certain extent. GSP was coming off his rematch win to Matt Serra and Fitch was coming off a not so great win to Chris Wilson. While Fitch is one tough dude, he doesnt seem to put GSP in defense at all the entire fight. He just takes a 5 round whoopin. Great fight for fans of GSP.
According to Dana White, the pre-lim fights weren't that great at all. The DVD is still worth buying though because the main card was so good.
