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!

Vitor looked as bad on the ground as the woman that Julianna Pena fought recently. Just punching from bottom.

Vitor did what he has always done when things didn't go his way for 100% of a fight - he quit.

Marvelous jitz by Weidman.

Admit it you got real nervous when Vitor was flurrying and connecting hard on Weidman.  I was like "no, no, no!!"

Even though I picked Cormier to win this fight, I'm pulling for both fighters in this fight.
