Jason MacDonald vs. Demian Maia

Round 1
The exchange for about 20 seconds, then Demian Maia pulls guard. MacDonald tries to pass, but Maia has him in trouble...triangle, no, he doesn't have the arm...MacDonald rolls nad gets Maia's back. Demian gets out and MacDonald is back in top position. MacDonald almost nails a guillotine, but them Maia takes his back. Maia complains that MacDonald is doing something with his hand and the ref stops it. They continue from the same position. Maia almost gets MacDonald by rear naked choke, but MacDonald survives the round.

Round 2
A little Mui Thai to start off and Maia takes down MacDonald. Demian Maia is in full mount throwing elbows. Except for the last 10 seconds of the round, Maia spent the round on top in full mount landing punches and elbows. Round 2 definitely goes to Maia.

Round 3
MacDonald starts out on top, but Maia soon reverses and gets mount, then takes MacDonalds back and chokes him out (rear naked).

UFC 87 Winner : Demian Maia

Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta

Round 1
A good first round, highlight is Kenny getting full mount, then Huerta getting out. I'd pretty much call the round even.

Round 2
Not much action for the first 1 1/2 minutes of round 2, they almost seem to be feeling each other out. Florian goes for a takedown and Huerta counters with an attempted Kimura. Forian pretty much dominated the second half of round 2 rocking Huerta several times.

Round 3
Kenny Florian won the 3rd round with some outstanding stand up. I give Florian the fight.

UFC 87 Winner : Kenny Florian

Manny Gamburyan vs. Rob Emerson

Round 1
Less than 30 seconds for Rob Emerson to nail Manny twice...KO

UFC 87 Winner : Rob Emerson

Cheick Kongo vs. Dan Evensen
Kongo scores a big body kick and follows it up with a big right hand to knock down Evensen. Then to the ground and Kongo finishes with a bit of GNP.

UFC 87 Winner : Cheick Kongo

Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring

Round 1
Lesnar lands a huge shot early which might have crushed Herrings orbital. Then an attempt at a gullotine which didn't pan out, followed by 3 minutes of lay and pray. Lesnar definitely won the round, maybe even a 10-8

Round 2
Brock Lesnar controls the action and easily takes an un-eventful round 2.

Round 3
Dominant and boring decision by Brock Lesnar

Georges St Pierre vs. Jon Fitch
The site was going nuts during this fight, so I wasn't able to do a live update. GSP won a unanimous 5 round decision. He dominated Fitch in the standup and on the ground. St Pierre was on his back once for about a minute before reversing on Fitch.
