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!

McGregor vs Aldo is as stacked of a card.

Putting it on UFC 189 would seem a good fit.  Long enough Ansaroff could recover, and adds a fun fight to another big event.

See, in a situation like Rose and Nina are in where they both put forth a full camp, made weight, and were ready to fight and a freak illness caused it to be pulled...they may still both get their show/win money, but how will it affect the tenure as far as sponsorship money goes? Cuz all of these girls are stuck in the 2,500 bracket and are going to be for a while until they get some fights in. And this wasn't either one of their faults, but I'm guessing this will just go down as a cancelled fight and Rose will still only have 1 official fight in the UFC. Another flaw in the system they have going.

My seats for tonight. We're close to the bottom of the middle section, just before the floor seats. Behind one of the corners, but not sure which yet until I get there. If I have a signal I'll try and post a picture of the view!

Nice picks, but how there's just no way Moraga/Benavidez goes the distance. Expect Moraga to wake up the day after tomorrow vaguely aware of who he is.
