UFC 162 saw Chris Weidman claim the UFC Middleweight Championship by knocking Anderson Silva out. For the first time in years there is a new leader of the pack.
In total, four top-10 fighters were in action on Saturday night.
If fans wanted change in the division, they have it now. Weidman will usher in a new era at 185 pounds. New challengers will have to step up, and Weidman will have to begin to carry shows. It’s a new day at middleweight.
Also in action at UFC 162, Tim Kennedy defeated Roger Gracie and Mark Munoz made a triumphant return against Tim Boetsch.
These are the 10 best middleweights in the UFC following UFC 162.
