Bloody Elbow recaps the big fights from UFC 187 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Here, we look at the opening three bouts of the main card which featured fan favourites Donald Cerrone, Joseph Benavidez and Andrei Arlovski.
On Saturday night, UFC 187 took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada and was headlined by a pair of title fights that pitted Chris Weidman against Vitor Belfort and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson against the Olympic wrestling vet Daniel Cormier. While on paper the main and co-main event card were likely to steal the show, it was in fact the early main card bouts that provided the most exciting fight of the night.
