On Saturday, May 23, 2015, UFC 187 will air live on Pay Per View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, two of UFC’s most prolific wrestlers square off as Daniel Cormier meets Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. With former champion Jon Jones absent from the company and unlikely to return soon, Cormier and Johnson will fight not only for the vacant belt, but for the undeniable title of “man to beat” in the 205 pound division. Both of these guys are well-rounded fighters who rely heavily on their wrestling to set up the rest of their offense, so it will be interesting to see which of them will be able to impose their will.
In the semi-main event, undefeated Middleweight champion Chris “All-American” Weidman will put his title on the line against heavy-handed striker Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort. Belfort is one of the sport’s most devastating punchers, but Weidman combines top-level striking with world class grappling, so Belfort is going to have his hands full in this one. The rest of the card features Donald Cerrone against John Makdessi, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski against Travis “Hapa” Browne, and Joseph Benavidez against John Moraga.
