On Saturday’s UFC 228 broadcast, a rematch between the two former middleweight champions was officially announced for UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The bout was first reported by ESPN.
Weidman (14-3) lost the UFC middleweight title to Rockhold at UFC 194 back in December 2015, but was unable to work his way back to a rematch after dropping his next two contests to Yoel Romero and Gegard Mousasi. Hailing from Baldwin, N.Y., the 34-year-old Weidman ended his losing skid with a third-round arm-triangle submission of Kelvin Gastelum in July of last year.
