UFC 187 will air on Saturday with a two fights placed at the top of the fight card; Anthony Johnson vs Daniel Cormier, and Chris Weidman vs Vitor Belfort. UFC 187 will take place from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and will feature a host of the top fighters in UFC.
The Early Prelims have a scheduled start time of 6.30 p.m. ET, and will be followed by the Main Prelims starting from 8 p.m. ET.
The Main Card will start at about 10 p.m. ET. A full fight card can be found below, and the event can be watched on TV on UFC PPV or online through UFC TV live stream via the link provided below.
In tonight's UFC 187, Anthony Johnson, who is 19-4 in MMA, and 10-4 in UFC, and Daniel Cormier, who is 15-1 in MMA, and 4-1 in UFC, will clash in the final fight of the night.
Jon Jones left the title vacant following his arrest for an alleged hit and run last month, and that has led to this massive Johnson vs Cormier bout.
Although some will always maintain doubts about the winner being the legit champion - as neither won it from Jones - neither fighter will take any notice of that, and will be going all out for the win and the title.
The night will also see undefeated UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman take to the Octagon for the first time in a long time - he has been out of the Octagon nearly two times longer that Vitor Belfort.
Weidman will be stepping into the Octagon tonight to defend his Middleweight title for just the second time ever, after he won it from Anderson Silva during the summer of 2013.
There were doubts over whether this pair would ever face off in the Octagon, and Weidman has said, "Probably at some point I was worried [the fight wouldn't occur] because there was talks of an interim title and him possibly fighting someone else.
"But this guy is on a three-fight winning streak; people tend to forget about that because of his long layoff. But I expect to be facing the best Vitor Belfort. I knew that at some point we were going to face each other. It was inevitable."
Meanwhile, Belfort, has been patiently waiting another chance at a world title.
Belfort has said, "I've just been training and keeping my mind focused on what I can do. I wasn't worried about what I couldn't do and I've been evolving every day. It's all about perspective [taking negative and turning it into a positive]. I'm blessed. How many guys from my era are still around?"
