Weidman vs Belfort now set for UFC 187

The May 23rd date was listed in the UFC’s calendar as UFC 187. Rumor has it that night could also be host to Jon Jones’ title defense versus the steamrolling Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, in which case, we’d have in our hands another mythical evening to sink our teeth into.

No way Zuffa stacks the card like that.

I think Cowboy/Khabib is the rumored co-main that makes sense.

In before Vitor pisses hot again.

If Weidman waits long enough, Vitor will lose more skill/ability and might even have some gray hair by the time they meet in the cage.

One year later Vitor gets what he wanted... That is if Weidman doesn't get hurt again. Jones-Rumble being on this card would be INCREDIBLE. Haven't had a LHW and MW title fight on the same card in a long time, I'm not sure if ever.

It's TQN bro. He loves him some Vitor and Lindland

If we get both title fights and khabib vs cerrone its easily best 3 fights ever on a single card...period

No way they double up the middle and light heavy titles. Only for something like UFC 200 would they do that.

I personally am not faulting Weidman for being injured. I take into account his past so this isn't a normal thing for him.

However, it is a normal thing for champions to get injured a lot more frequently as champs compared to when they were climbing the ladder. I think with so many champs being injured, especially newer champs, people group Weidman with that stigma.

It's not fair, but it's understandable.

Not gonna happen.

Hopefully this one goes through. So sick of fucking cancellations. Shit never happened like this years ago.
