Welcome to UFC 187 Live Thread!

This is quite probably the card of the year.

2 title fights in one night?

Ridiculous!

Sucks that the chick fight was canceled.

My Picks

Rumble all the way. DC is gonna stand for Destroyed Completely and Deprived of Consciousness!

I’ve never really warmed to Chris Weidman, I’ll root for Vitor but I expect CW to win easily.

Browne, Cowboy!, Benavidez,

In the remaining prelims

Dodson! Great to see him back. Stun gun Kim. And Uriah Hall.

One can learn a lot just by watching. You never know when you may have to defend yourself. I love reading about 73+ year old former boxers KOing thugs who tried to mug them.

I've trained a bit in MMA in my past and consider watching UFC to be research and development. Quite often in these matches I see techniques I have never seen before.

I'm 52 but am still learning.

I used to box in my late teens and early twenties. I certainly wasn’t great but it helped in a few club fight afterwards. I’m 47 now and very out of shape. No excuse for it. But the punches would still hurt

I still think Hall beat Kelvin G and should have been the Ultimate Fighter.

Good fight and good win for Kim. I didn’t expect Burkman to have such an edge on the feet, he rocked Kim.

-150 means you would have to bet $150 to win $100.

+ numbers show how much you would win on a $100 bet. Example a +375 odds means you would win $375 on a $100 bet.
