Georges St. Pierre (Pictures) vs.
Jon Fitch (Pictures),
Roger Huerta (Pictures) vs.
Kenny Florian (Pictures) and
Brock Lesnar (Pictures) vs.
Heath Herring (Pictures).

St. Pierre by TKO in round three.
Personally I think GSP and Fitch can go either way.
GSP by either submission or ground-and-pound.
GSP by either ground-and-pound or submission.
GSP’s standup has vastly improved, but his chin is still a question mark. I don’t think Fitch can take him down and keep him down. He has to test GSP’s chin. That’ll be difficult to do so. I’ll say GSP by decision in his toughest test yet.
GSP third-round TKO.
