Luke Rockhold-Chris Weidman Rematch Targeted for UFC 230 at Madison Square Garden

A rematch between ex-middleweight champions Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman is in the works for UFC 230, according to a report from ESPN.com.

UFC 230 takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 3. A headliner for the event has not been announced.

Rockhold and Weidman initially squared off at UFC 194, where Rockhold claimed 185-pound gold with a fourth-round technical knockout win. They were scheduled for a rematch at UFC 199 in June 2016 before Weidman withdrew due to injury. Instead, Rockhold lost his belt to Michael Bisping via first-round knockout in one of that year’s biggest upsets.
