LAS VEGAS -- Chris Weidman took everything Vitor Belfort could dish out on Saturday night. Then he got to work.
In a bout more than a year in the making, the UFC middleweight champion finally got into the cage with the Brazilian legend and shook off a slow start before making a memorable comeback and an emphatic finish.
In front of a frenzied MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd whose loyalties were divided, Weidman finished the former UFC light heavyweight champion via TKO at UFC 187 to improve to 13-0 and successfully defend his belt for the third time.
