Breaking down UFC 87 - Josh Gross - SI.com

Read More here: Breaking down UFC 87 - Josh Gross - SI.com: "Georges St. Pierre will walk one of two paths Saturday night: (A) as the best welterweight in MMA, or (B) as a two-time failure.

With a win over Jon Fitch at UFC 87 in Minneapolis on Saturday, St. Pierre will solidify his status as the best in class, hands down. But if G.S.P. loses, he'll likely ink himself as a one-fight champion, a fighter who can win a belt, but can't defend it. After all, he won the welterweight title in Nov. 2006 after beating Matt Hughes, only to lose it to Matt Serra in his subsequent fight.

But St. Pierre and Jon Fitch, regarded as the top two fighters at 170 pounds, should come together for a competitive and technical five-round main-event title fight at UFC 87 in Minneapolis."
