Jon “Bones” Jones puts his light-heavyweight crown on the line against number one contender Anthony “Rumble” Johnson in the main event at UFC 187 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

There’s more too, including a lightweight doozy between Khabib Nurmagomedov and fan favourite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, ranked #2 and #3 respectively.
