Tickets for UFC 87 will be on sale Sunday, May 25th at 12:00pm CST. The prices range from next to nothin’ at $50.00 to an entire paycheck at $600.00.
Initially, it was thought that UFC Hall-of-Famer Mark “The Hammer” Coleman would be headlining the show against uber-tough Brock Lesnar. Rumors on the net hint that this will not be the main event and something even bigger will instead fill the slot. Kenny “Ken-Flo” Florian, who has been on a tear as of late, will take on a Minnesota native in Roger “El Matador” Huerta in a battle that some are calling fight of the year.
Other bouts not confirmed by the UFC are Cheick Kongo vs Dan Evensen, Luke Cummo vs Tamdan McCrory, Damien Maia vs Jason MacDonald and George Sotiropolous is rumored to be on the card as well.
The UFC is planning on venturing out as much as possible into not only new states, but new countries. Australia, The Philippines and Mexico are future locations. Atlanta Georgia will likely host UFC 88 in September. After speaking with Mr. J. Walsh of the Iowa Athletic Commission, he stated nothing has been brought to his attention as of yet, but said that he welcomes the idea of the UFC coming in the future.
Personally, I’ve been on both sides of the country for the UFC. There is nothing I’d like better than to have it in my own back yard. Wells Fargo Arena, make some calls!
***UPDATE*** Clay “The Carpenter” Guida has been rumored to be fighting Frankie “The Answer” Edgar at this show as well.
