Saturday in Minneapolis, welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre of Montreal faces Jon Fitch in the main event of UFC 87: Seek and Destroy.

It will be Georges St. Pierre’s first title defence since capturing the belt for the second time with his win over Matt Serra in Montreal in April. The first time he defended his crown a year earlier, he was upset by Serra, a huge underdog at the time.

Fitch, meanwhile, has 15 straight wins overall and is a perfect 8-0 in the UFC’s Octagon. He has decision victories in his past two bouts, against Chris Willson and Diego Sanchez before that. The latter had the judges split.

Sportsnet.ca’s "Showdown" Joe Ferraro and "Big Game" James Brydon give their thoughts on their upcoming bout.
