There's no nice way to say this, so I'm going to just come out with it: UFC 186 is not the UFC's best pay-per-view offering. Even when compared to some of the UFC's more injury-riddled recent events, UFC 186 falls under what I'd call the "subpar" heading.
But the non-existent hype for this event received something of a kick-start Tuesday night when the UFC announced that the injunction granted to Bellator a few weeks ago that would keep Quinton "Rampage" Jackson from competing on the card had been overturned, to the shock of everyone. Well, everyone who did not read our story on the lawsuit in the first place, anyway.
So Jackson is back on the card, and former hockey thug/local draw Steve Bosse is relegated back to the sidelines. It's the first true good news the UFC has received around this injury-riddled fight card, and to be frank, the company needed a little bit of good news when it comes to the Canadian market.
Now that we have an idea of what the finalized card will look like (with just a few days to spare, even!), let's go through each matchup with a fine-tooth comb.
