On Mac Danzig's website it says, "2008-05-27
Forget what you heard! Mac is NOT fighting at UFC 87, or in August at all! Mac will most likely fight in September, and the fight has not yet been signed."
Any other rumors out there? This will be my first live UFC event and I'm already stoked for the officially announced fights!

Me to man! I'm so pumped. I've been such a huge fan for so long and never been to a live MMA event, let alone a UFC event.
I'll be driving all the way from Toronto to Minneapolis to support Georgie, and I can not WAIT.
I just want it it to be August 9th now, this card is looking so great so far.
I'm putting my picks down now
GSP
Brock (looking at Cheick vs. Herring, really makes you wonder about Herrings ground game
I can't pick a winner b/w Florian and Huerta
Damien Maia, he's the shit
And Chris Wilson is someone to look out for, was very impressive against fitch
Ill have the rest of my results coming closer to the event.
Hopefully this will live up to UFC 84
