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!

First pick was KO1/Sub1, then it became round 2. After the weigh in though, I have a feeling it'll go the distance.

Warning - you who have previously abused the down thumb button on every post during UFC fight night - you're about to be suspended for quite a while.

Looks like a good start to the card for me. Man, Scoggins has some extremely elite striking.

Also really hope Sampo isn't cut. 125 is thin, and he's solid with potential.
