Event Details
UFC 187
2 Title Fights
May 23, 2015
The event was expected to be headlined by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between then champion Jon Jonesand top contender Anthony Johnson. However on April 28, due to Jones' hit-and-run incident, the UFC decided to strip him of the title and suspend him indefinitely. He was replaced by the latest title challenger Daniel Cormier, who was scheduled to face Ryan Bader at the main event of UFC Fight Night 68.
The co-main event is expected to feature a UFC Middleweight Championship bout between current champion Chris Weidmanand former UFC Light Heavyweight champion and UFC 12 Heavyweight Tournament winner Vitor Belfort. The much delayed pairing had been rescheduled for several events. The first of which was UFC 173, where Belfort withdrew from the bout following the Nevada State Athletic Commission's ban on testosterone replacement therapy. The other events were UFC 181and UFC 184, where Weidman withdrew from both bouts due to a broken hand and injured ribs, respectively.
The event was also expected to feature a UFC Lightweight Championship title eliminator bout between top contenders Khabib Nurmagomedov and Donald Cerrone. However, Nurmagomedov pulled out of the bout on April 30 due to a knee injury. He was replaced by John Makdessi.
Sean Spencer was expected to face Mike Pyle at the event. However, Spencer pulled out of the bout on April 23 due to an injury. He was replaced by Colby Covington.
