Main Card On PPV @ 10PM ET
Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva – for UFC middleweight title
In July, Chris Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) ended the long reign of Anderson Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) atop the middleweight division and pound-for-pound rankings with a stunning second-round knockout at UFC 162 in Las Vegas. Silva was widely criticized after the loss by some saying clowning around in the cage led to him getting caught by Weidman.
Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate – for women’s bantamweight title
This fight features a second title rematch. Women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) defends her title against the woman she took it from nearly two years ago in Strikeforce, Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
The two heated rivals are coming off coaching stints opposite each other on Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” and the phrase “no love lost” may have been coined just for them.
