If I’m plunking down my cash to buy a UFC pay-per-view, or even if I’m staggering into a bar, I want to see the whole damn show – prelims included. That goes double for UFC 87: Seek and Destroy. Check out the preliminary card for Aug. 9:

Heavyweight: Cheick Kongo vs. Dan Evensen
Welterweight: Chris Wilson vs. Steve Bruno
Welterweight: Ben Saunders vs. Jared Rollins
Welterweight: Luke Cummo vs. Tamdan McCrory
Light Heavyweight: Andre Gusmao vs. Razak Al-Hussan

Folks, that ain’t chopped liver. Kongo’s last two fights were a win over Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and a split decision loss to Heath Herring, who is on the main card at the Target Center. Evensen is 10-2 in MMA action and won all three of his bouts for Bodog Fight. Then you have familiar faces like Saunders and Rollins from The Ultimate Fighter 6. Would it kill Zuffa to show these fights?
