After going 1-4 in his last five fights, former UFC middleweight champion and long-time middleweight contender Chris Weidman is on the hunt for greener pastures in the 205-pound light heavyweight division. He'll make his debut in the new weight class during the main event of the UFC on ESPN 6 card Friday night in Boston when he takes on the undefeated Dominick Reyes.
But will Weidman's move up unfurl the way he thinks it will? That is far from certain.
Despite the scale of the task in front of him, Weidman is already looking forward to a fight with light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
