Report: Luke Rockhold vs. Chris Weidman 2 targeted for UFC 230

A rematch between two former UFC middleweight champions is in the works for UFC 230 on November 3rd, as Luke Rockhold is slated to fight Chris Weidman on the card.

Brett Okamoto of ESPN first reported the matchup. The two first met back at UFC 194 in December 2015, when Rockhold defeated Weidman to end his title reign and become the new middleweight champion on the night.

A rematch was then booked for UFC 199 the following June, but a neck injury meant Weidman was out of the fight, and the title would change hands yet again when Michael Bisping filled in on short notice and knocked out Rockhold out in the first round.
