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!

Let's see if every pore on Vitor's body still looks like it individually was injected with testosterone.

@Greg, you're wrong, that's Dinosaur skin ... Vitor would never cheat under the ever-watching eyes of Jesus

@Swain we classify subs when fighters literally tap to strikes.

(and if it's borderline or questionable, we err on the side of TKO, since it's more reasonable... there was no submission hold applied)

When Vitor jumps, he looks like a guy who recently lost loads of weight.

Similar to the Makdessi situation would be the JDS vs CroCop fight. JDS broke CroCops face with a knee, he quit while the fight was still going and the ruling was pretty obvious, it was a Verbal Submission (eye injury)...

@nogfan Personally, I thought Vitor looked a bit like Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver.

If I can't whine about verbal subs being tkos, I'll just take my bawl and go home.

Vitor's metamorphosis into Diego Sanchez is quite terrifying.


edit : Son of a *****. I should reload the page so I can make sure no one else had made the same joke as I was going to.
