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!

Is this a handicap match? Cain & DC vs Rumble???

If DC wins, we all know he ain't the real champ since Jones ****** him up already. At least if Rumble wins, there's arguments to be had about how he vs. Jones would go.

Rumble looks like a champion walking out. 

Can you imagine pissing Rumble off in a dark alley? Much less a controlled environment like the cage.

DC got this, I don't go against U.S. Open champions or Olympians. Especially if their last name is Cormier.

@Lopati I wouldn't want to piss off Rumble period.  He looks like he could kill any man with his bare hands just for looking at him the wrong way.

A person who knows nothing about MMA would laugh if you said Rumble used to fight at WW AND dC used to fight at HWT. **** I am laughing at the thought now myself

Just got back from BWW and thee guy next to me was talking about being excited for GSP's title defense. He also gave out keys to victory for each fighter.
