Just read Mark Coleman tore his ACL and can't fight against Brock Lesnar at UFC 87. This is confirmed by Coleman and the UFC. Georges St. Pierre will take on Jon Fitch in a replacement headliner.

GSP vs Fitch will definitely make for an interesting match but I see GSP by TKO.. Hoping they find a suitable replacement for Lesnar and not waiting until Coleman is good to go again.

coleman is too old it will take him forever to heal

UGMT · « **Reply #5 on:** May 23, 2008, 06:23:56 AM »

Well there's talk now of Lesnar fighting Heath Herring or Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 87. Great news if you ask me.. either one of those guys would make for a hell of a better fight than Coleman.

The dream matchup would've been Lesnar versus that ugly ogre Tim Sylvia.

Sylvia has no ground game, and would've tried to hold off Lesnar with his reach.

But Sylvia left before that fight was made.

Sweet. GSP/Fitch is the fight I most want to see the year (Besides Randy/Fedor). Fitch didn't look to good in his last fight, but I still think he will be a tough opponent for GSP. As for Lesnar, anything would have been better than Coleman. I'd like to see him against Congo...

I was itching to see Brock crush the old man.. I think you would have seen some serious punishment. The GSP fight will be good, but I see george dominating, yet Fitch could suprise. Brock and Gonzaga is a bad match up for Brock, I would have loved to see Tim get FUCKED up!

I'd love to see him fight Gonzaga or Werdum. Total contrast, wrestler versus jits.

Gonazaga would eat him alive... Don't you think it's a little pre-mature to throw Brock to such a good Jits guy?

We already saw him fight a god jits and he didn't make it out of the 1st round. I want to see him go up against a serious striker to see how he handles getting smashed in the face...

I honestly want to see him fight someone who pretty much sucks and will be into there to take a beating. I want to see brock win once, and then maybe take on somebody that poses a threat. They should put him up against justin eilers or Brad ames.

Saying it RIGHT NOW.... FITCH WINS THIS FIGHT.

Mock all you want. But Fitch will take him out.

Isn't that the point. MMA would gain more notoriety that a known commodity couldn't cut it in the major leagues. He is a couple of years away from being a serious threat. He has the tools, if he can be consistent, learn the game and stay relatively injury free, he could be viable.
