This is a card we will be watching together FOR SURE (Sat., August 9th). In fact, my good friend Dave Tanner, one of the original "MMA Friends," will be coming down from Utah for business and we already made plans to watch this. This is one of the, if not, the BIGGEST card so far this year. Just check it out:

Main card

Welterweight championship bout: Georges St. Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
Lightweight bout Number One Contendership: Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta
Heavyweight bout: Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring
Lightweight bout: Manny Gamburyan vs. Rob Emerson
Middleweight bout: Jason MacDonald vs. Demian Maia

Notes: Do I even need to talk about the GSP v. Fitch fight? GSP is my all time favorite fighter and Fitch has won FIFTEEN fights in a row! Florian vs. Huerta is an awesome match up and the winner gets a title shot with BJ Penn. Brock Lesnar is the famous ex pro-wrestler who had a shaky start in the UFC losing by submission after he dominated most of the first round with some vicious ground in pound. Herring's a tough dude who could have had a shot at the title before losing to Noguiera. Manny Gamburyan is undefeated in the UFC after getting injured fighting Nate Diaz in the TUF Finale. McDonald is a great MW with good BJJ but Demian Maia, a newcomer to the UFC and already one of my favorite fighters, is an INCREDIBLE PRACTITIONER of BJJ and submitted the crap out of this last opponent (how's that done? Well, he triangled the dude and beat him down while doing it).
