Mookie Alexander recaps the night that was UFC 187 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 187 is in the books, and after an admittedly underwhelming preliminary card, the main card delivered terrific action from the opener to the main event. We saw Daniel Cormier crowned new light heavyweight champion and a successful title defense by the scary dominant Chris Weidman. Andrei Arlovski kept the nostalgia train going in a remarkable brawl with Travis Browne, Donald Cerrone did Donald Cerrone things, and Joseph Benavidez kept his name in the mix of title contenders at flyweight.
