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!

Forget DJ vs Dillashaw. What about Dodson vs Dillashaw II? Who else they can say they KO'd a champ of a higher weight class.

This fight is not making me excited to see a Dodson/Johnson rematch.

You've got to remember Dodson ahsn't fought in a year and for a guy that banks on highly explosive outbursts coming back from a torn ACL is not easy. Also you've got to factor in that even when at his best he gives away large portions of rounds searching for the knockout and his current performance isn't particularly shocking.

That was a little close for comfort. Hopefully it was the ACL that made his return a bit underwhelming.

Since Johnson and Dodson first fought, it seems Johnson has been getting better and Dodson's development has seemed to stagnate. Probably a lot of that is due to Dodson's injury and maybe fighting a friend.

Why don't they show the finishing of Weidman/Silva II on Weidman's highlight package?

I don't think Dodson isn't getting better......I think Makovsky is really good and doesn't get the credit he deserves
