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!

If anything the way DHK has been controlling him on the amt with the crucifix and the 3/4 quarter nelson is more reminiscent of folk style wrestling then Judo,a s they're as a pinning combination that could turn into a good neck crank if he just grabs a head and arm while he has the crucifix in and just rolls Burkman over.

I think starting with Dodson/Makovsky is where this card really starts to pick up

I didn't care that much about the Hall-Natal decision, but I'm amazed it happened because a judge gave Natal round 1:

I don't really think who the better wrestler is between Mighty Mouse and Makovsky is that debatable. I gotta give it to MM.
