New Bout Added To UFC 87

A new bout has been added to the card for UFC 87, scheduled for August 9th at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The bout will feature Jason MacDonald taking on Demian Maia. This is expected to be a great fight, as both fighters bring a lot to the table, both on the ground an don their feet.

MacDonald currently holds a record of 20-9, winning his last fight against Joe Doerksen at UFC 83. Of his 20 wins, 16 come via submission, so he shoudl be able to put up a good defence to Maia's notable jiu-jitsu game.

Maia currently holds a record of 7-0, with his last win coming to Ed Herman via technical submission at UFC 83. Five out of seven wins come via submission, so look for this fight to end up on the ground. It is possible, of course, that MacDonald may want to keep the fight standing due to Maia's ground expertese, but only time will tell.

This fight joins confirmed fights between Mark Coleman and Brock Lesnar, and Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta.
