UFC 187: Johnson vs. Cormier was live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 23, 2015.
It was a historic pay-per-view in that for the first time in over four years a new UFC Light Heavyweight Champion would be crowned due to Jon Jones being stripped of the championship. The main event of UFC 187 would decided who the new champion was as Anthony Johnson took on Daniel Cormier. In the co-main event, Chris Weidman looked to defend his UFC Middleweight Championship against Vitor Belfort in a fight that was years in the making.
