Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 514th

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'm rooting for McGregor, but whenever they hype up a contender so much, a part of me always kinda wants to see him get stopped embarrassingly quickly.

If Cerrone plays this right he should win by submission in about 25 seconds.

@MikeLovesTacos, I'm going to be re-watching Arlovski vs Browne more than I did Arlovski vs Bigfoot, such an awesome fight, it's so cool to see the resurgence of the Pitbull.

Sadly this isn't the first time I've used this as of late but here goes ... THERE'S NO TIMEOUTS IN MMA!!






EDIT:: By the way, this isn't a knock on Makdessi, just don't like fights ending this way.
