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!

Colby will never be a serious contender. he can only WRASSTLE, but he does that well.

So excited too see next fight. Hope Hall will wait 2,5 rounds before he sends Natal to the hospital :)

Joe Rogan might as well literally suckle on Hall's sack mid-fight with this commentary.

Rafael's corner just made a nice pun involving "gostar" (to like) and "gosto" (taste).

I wonder why Natal's corner didn't tell him to stop kicking. Every time he tried he ate a hard counter.

@hamder because he has a hard time pulling the trigger, and Natal is a grinder.

Hall ran a marathon that round. I hope Natal gets the decision so people can stop pretending Hall is a legit top 15.
