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 consider that a submission due to strikes, not a TKO, tapping your gloves together is as close to tapping to strikes while still on your feet as you can get.

I thought he subbed but they call it a tko. Interesting. 

I think all taps to strike should score as a KO in fantasy leagues anyway. 

PPV much better than prelims this far.

It was a sub, but w/e. Nice chin. Too tough for his own good.

As if all of you clamoring for it to be classified a sub had envisioned that kind of finish when you picked sub... it's a TKO folks.  He didn't submit, he quit (TKO).

With his victory over Travis Browne, does this mean Arlovski is a potential title contender if he gets another victory?

@gregory. Who is "clamoring"?  I said I believe all taps to strikes should be KO for fantasy purposes. 

But since you mention  it I'll say this: while I agree it and all sub to strikes should be classified as a KO,  it shouldn't be changed just this time, simply cause he broke his jaw. On this site it's always been a sub. Therefore it should be still a sub until a rule change is officially announced. 

That being said, the UFC classified it as a KO. Therefore it's a KO. Bottom line. 

Lol. Clamoring.
