It’s been quite some time since UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman last climbed into the Octagon for battle. It’s been almost twice as long for Vitor Belfort. Both men will finally be able to peel off some of the cage rust and get down to business.
Weidman and Belfort will square off in the co-main event of UFC 187 inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas next Saturday. Weidman will defend his middleweight crown for only the second time after snatching it away from then-ruler Anderson Silva back in July 2013.
