UFC 187 takes place this coming Saturday night in Las Vegas and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.
There’s not one, but two title fights sitting atop this pay-per-view, starting with a fight between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson to establish a new light-heavyweight champion after Jon Jones was stripped of his belt following a hit-and-run incident.
In the co-main event Chris Weidman finally gets to defend his middleweight title against Vitor Belfort who’s will be competing for the first time since coming off TRT treatment (back when it was legal to do so).
Donald Cerrone is tantalizingly close to a lightweight title shot with seven victories in a row, but he needs to keep his streak going against short notice replacement John Makdessi who stands in for the injured Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Also on the main card is a heavyweight bout as the No.3 ranked Travis Browne looks to shut down Andrei Arlovski’s solid 2-0 return to the Octagon which has left the veteran at No.7 in the rankings.
Opening up the PPV portion of the card is a flyweight fight as Joseph Benavidez (No.2) looks to build his case for another chance to fight the champion by defeating another former title contender, John Moraga (No.5).
