Chris Weidman's next championship title fight will be this coming December 2015 as Luke Rockhold challenges the UFC middleweight champion of the world. The bout will be the culminating event of Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor for UFC 194.
This is the moment all UFC hardcore fans have all been waiting for. The UFC middleweight title is finally going to be in the center ring as Chris Weidman defends his title against Luke Rockhold in UFC 194 at the MGM Grand Las Vegas this coming December 2015, according to Bleacher Report. Rockhold is also the No.1 ranked challenger for the said title against Weidman.
With Rockhold being a strike fighter who has 63% successful ones throughout his career and with an extra inch advantage over Weidman, this match is definitely one you wouldn't want to miss watching.
Weidman has been able to defend his title for three consecutive times already, ever since he was able to grab the UFC middleweight belt from Anderson Silva two years ago. He was able to win against the legendary Anderson Silva twice and even took a second-round submission at another legendary UFC fighter Lyoto Machida last April.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Weidman and Rockhold's bout will be the co-main event for Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor's fight this coming December, also one of the much anticipated match-ups in UFC history to date.
When Dana White, the Chief Executive Officer of the UFC, was interviewed, he said that Chris Weidman's next fight is going to be a massive one. With Weidman knocking down almost all his opponents by take downs and Rockhold being a stand fighter, fans will be yearning to see how both will perform given their difference in fighting styles.
