5.0 out of 5 stars Great Main Card-Crappy Pre-lims(according to Dana White), August 27, 2008

By	MMAfan (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brock Lesnar=Legit threat, March 17, 2009

By	Tyler (United States) - See all my reviews

This is one hell of an event.

You get to see Jon Fitch, on an 8 fight (all in the UFC) winning streak looking to break Royce Gracie's consecutive win record, stepping up to face GSP, the current dominant WW Champion. What ensues is a grueling battle of attrition.

Then you have Brock Lesnar who attracts a lot of attention and sales boosts for the UFC coming off a loss to Frank Mir. In this fight he shows what a beast he can be if he truly hones his skills.

The rest of the card is filled with action that ranges from spectacular KOs to slick submissions. A worthy DVD to place on your shelf.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Event - Terrible Presentation, December 28, 2008

By	N E 1 4 Hotdish? (grand forks, nd) - See all my reviews

After seeing UFC 87 in person, I was looking forward to purchasing this DVD for posterity. Now that I own it, I'm quite disappointed in the presentation and changes made to the ring entrances. In fact, the only ring entrances shown are Lesnar vs Herring and Fitch vs St Pierre. Even more odd, they changed the entrance music originally used by the fighters to generic metal. You can even hear the true music bleed over when the announcers commentate. If you've ever seen a live UFC event, one of the most memorable moments of the night is the video montage shown before the main card begins. This montage is one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen, featuring hundreds of clips set to the music of The Who's "Baba O'Riley (Teenage Wasteland)". Come to find out this is also not included on the DVD. So what you do get is all 10 fights in their entirity, which of course is pretty good. But the presentation could've represented the live event so much better, and I for one would've paid twice as much for that. Weigh-ins, behind the scenes, and the Countdown to UFC 87 are also included, but really aren't necessary. If you want to see these fights, the DVD will suffice. But if you're looking for a replay of what it was like inside the Target Center, you will be left disappointed.
