Demian Maia used a rear naked choke to tap out Jason MacDonald in round 2 of their fight to get submission of the night. The 5-round main event of Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch won fight of the night, with each fighter getting a $60,000 bonus.

Brock Lesnar is receiving a lot of praise for his first UFC win over Heath Herring at Saturday night's UFC 87 Pay-Per-View. At the post-show UFC 87 press conference, UFC President Dana White told the media, "I'm telling you I'm blown away by his [Lesnar's] performance tonight. One of our guys said it looks like he's hitting people with lunch boxes. The guy's a phenomenon. I didn't think he could come in here with no fights and compete at this level. He proved me wrong. He's a monster. I don't know what guys are going to want to fight him."
Also at the UFC 87 post-show press conference, Dana White all-but-confirmed that a Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn rematch is in the works and will likely take place at UFC's final show of the year on December 27th.
