At least one new champion will be crowned this Saturday, as UFC 187 comes live this Sunday on pay-per-view. Headlined by two title bouts, the card is absolutely stacked from the opening prelim to the main event.
The featured bout sees Anthony Johnson and Daniel Cormier compete for the vacant 205-pound strap, which was vacated by Jon Jones and his indefinite suspension. That card will be supported by UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, who defends his title against old warhorse Vitor Belfort.
The UFC’s first trip to the Philippines was not fruitful for me, especially with the prelim picks. We hope to right the ship here, as things have been inconsistent in 2015.
With that, let’s take a look at the prelims and make some predictions.
2015 Riley’s Record: 56-39
