Jones or no Jones, we're in for a fantastic night of fights on Saturday when UFC 187 kicks off from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

UFC Fight Pass prelims begin at 630pm ET, followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm. 

I'm going to be on a flight during the bulk of this noise, so I shall live vicariously through your Forum chatter when I debark at Logan Airport. 

Keep it lively, keep it fun and enjoy!

I don't think this is about "development stagnation"... Dodson didn't fight well at all...

It was a beautifully timed and hard leg check with the knee by Weidman.

The pre-lims were kinda boring. I think I'm going to call it a night for UFC. Tell me what happens tomorrow. I'll be rewatching the Dexter finale.

Yeah but it broke his leg.  It was a clear leg break which could be easily seen on tv.  Maybe if it was, idk someone else that broke their leg, they would show it.

They showed an image of Henry Cejudo for Moraga!!!

I wish we were getting that fight instead.

Before I got into MMA heavy, I (as a 15 year old) got high, and came in the house and cut on WEC.  Seen some little dudes like this fighting, and I was like "HOLY ****, why are they letting these little ******* 12 year Olds fight?  Oh, that's Why. They would kick MY ass."

I see Benividez is carefully using the "let's just choke him out with my pectoral muscles" like he's Johnny Bravo or some ****.

@Yoss *Salto. Basically salto is just front side version of suplex.  proper term for what he did was a basic overhook salto.

Regardless of who wins, Moraga is solidifying his spot as a top five flyweight.
