- UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman has big aspirations for his MMA career, and despite his undefeated record, he's not satisfied yet. Weidman said on The MMA Hour this week that he wants to face former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones in a superfight.
"I know for a fact, I'm not leaving this sport without fighting Jon," Weidman said this week on The MMA Hour. "Unless he's not coming back at all. But if he's there, and I'm here, people are going to want to see it happen. And I want to see it happen."
Weidman is set to face Luke Rockhold at UFC 194.
- Following his suspension for failed drug tests, Anderson Silva was removed from the official UFC rankings. This is standard procedure for those who are suspended for disciplinary reasons.
The move made history, as Women's Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk became the first person in her division to crack the pound-for-pound rankings. The move also was to the benefit of Tim Boetsch, who reappeared in the Middleweight rankings at 15. Several other names moved up a spot due to Silva's suspension.
