UFC 187 Recap & Results

Traditionally stacked from the prelims all the way to the main event, the UFC’s Memorial Day weekend card featured a number of mouthwatering fights that figured to forever change the landscape of their respective weight classes. With multiple belts and title shots on the line at UFC 187, who rose to take advantage of opportunity, and who conversely crumbled in the face of theirs?

UFC 187: Predicting Johnson vs. Cormier, Weidman vs. Belfort

The second double title fight card of 2015, UFC 187 has dominated MMA news outlets, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. The Jon Jones hit-and-run scandal robbed the card of a highly anticipated main event, but luckily its replacement is just as exciting. Hoping to win gold at the second time of asking, Daniel Cormier steps in as a last minute replacement against the fearsome number one contender, Anthony Johnson.

Also featured is the long awaited, much delayed title clash between middleweight champion Chris Weidman and longtime rival Vitor Belfort. At 38 years old, the Brazilian challenger is hoping to achieve two things: Become only the third man to win gold at two weight classes, and be the first to defeat the current reigning 185 pound champion.
