UFC 187 isn’t what it once was, but it’s still pretty good.
That’s a familiar refrain for all mixed martial arts fans these days. Rarely does an anticipated UFC card come off without a hitch. In UFC 187’s case, there were two major hitches: Jon Jones and his now-infamous hit-and-run incident (which concluded with the UFC stripping him of the championship and suspending him indefinitely) and yet another injury to lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Still, we are getting a great card on Saturday night, headlined by two sublime title fights. The undercard is deep, too, at least until you get down to the Fight Pass wasteland. And there are at least three bouts that could determine potential title challengers in divisions not even featured on this card.
Let’s take at look at UFC 187, starting at the Fight Pass wasteland I mentioned earlier.
