Best Ufc Card Of The Year!
Every one of the fights at UFC 87 that were shown were great. It had one of the best BJJ fights ever between J-Mac and Maia, Emerson showed he was the real deal and that we werent lying, Lesnar looked great against Herring who also showed a good heart, Florian showed that being technical usually beats aggresiveness and basically made Huerta look like an amateur and then their was one of the greatest and most brilliant main event's that you could dream of.
One fighter showing excellence in all areas of MMA, the other fighter showing a never say die attitude and didnt give up even when he knew he had no chance of winning.
Also the undercard was better than usual, Toezup's fighter lived up to the hype and Kongo back to his winning form aswell.
Discuss? (Plz no trolls ruin this brilliant atmosphere)

I have to agree, excellent card. GSP did not disappoint and was as always amazingly technical... and Fitch was a warrior. I was a bit disappointed with Huerta but gave him more credit than the judges did. Overall a great night of fights!!!

Great card but UFC 84 wins. First you've got 4 extremely exciting debuts in Yoshida, Carwin, Reljic, and Kim in dominating fashion. Second, you've got Machida, enough said. Third, beatdowns from Thiago Silva, Wanderlei Silva, and Sokoudjou. We've also got Palhares showing his great jiu jitsu. The main event was fun too. God damn.

I could see why people would pick UFC 84 as just like UFC 87 its main 3 fights were great and good ufc debuts by future contenders. For me I saw UFC 87 as the better event and I explained that in my first post. Its very close between both events.
EDIT: It was the main event that made me see this event as the best. All aspects of MMA were shown in 5 rounds and it truly was a war. Penn vs Sherk was good but we didnt get to see how well Sherk would be able to handle Penn on the ground. It was a great stand up fight but I was dissappointed that Sherk didnt try to take the fight to the ground.

Best card? Nah. Florian couldn't finish Huerta, or perhaps was incapable of doing so. Larson couldn't figure out how to stop Herring, except to deliver punishinment. Kongo got lucky and MacDonald sucks.  I think we'll see better cards by the end of the year. |

You mean Lesnar. The next three UFCs look look absolutely amazing, they could very well be contenders for best UFC card of the year.
