In yet another historic moment in the quest to conquer new territory and bring the best of mixed martial arts to fans around the globe, the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization today announced the first-ever UFC event to take place in Minnesota.

In the main event, Brock Lesnar, fighting out of his hometown of Minneapolis, will return to the Octagon™ to face UFC Hall of Famer and former PRIDE® superstar Mark "The Hammer" Coleman, and in what many are calling the best lightweight fight of 2008, Kenny "KenFlo" Florian will square off against Roger "El Matador" Huerta in a battle that will move the winner one step closer to a 155-pound title shot. The Ultimate Fighting Championship will present UFC 87: SEEK AND DESTROY, featuring Lesnar vs. Coleman and Florian vs. Huerta, live from Target Center in Minneapolis Saturday, August 9, 2008.

Seek and Destroy sounds very fitting for this main event, Roger vs. Kenny should be a beauty also, Lesnar by neckcrank.

Probably exactly why Dana didn't pay him to lose, probably will lose anyway. Lesnar has loads of potential which I think everyone would agree on, just wish he got some experience before in some smaller orgs. No matter how well he starts in any fight for a while he can always have inexperience catch up to him which we saw in the Mir fight.

In regards to another poster saying Lesnar should go back to pro wrestling... Why??

I'd rather see him devoted to MMA and doing something legit then being back there. Just wish he did it sooner but can't blame him for going there considering the money he made.

Can you imagine if he started training MMA straight out of college??

Why would he?
He prefers MMA, he attacks like a beast and has the potential to be a great fighter.

Lesnar had Mir on his back in 4 seconds. I think he'll do the same to Coleman,except finish the job this time. Colemans to old,Brocks to strong.

And WTF is up with some saying he should go back to pro wrestling?? He's completly dedicated himself to MMA,and has done nothing wrong but bring new fans and spotlight to the sport. And for a guy with only one previous fight,he looked awesome against Mir. I'm hoping Lesnar becomes a real force,and once he gets his striking down,and sub defense,he may just be that.

I see Lesnar TKOing Coleman,round 1. Although I'd also love to see Coleman win,then try and jump through the cage,then get on the mic and yell at Rogan and the "GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING CAGE" in one of his epic steroid induced screamfests.
