The UFC’s middleweight division has been turned on its head in the past week. Top contenders Chael Sonnen and Mark Munoz both found themselves on the wrong end of a second-round stoppage, and Chris Weidman has officially moved from prospect to title contender.
Last night’s UFC on Fuel 4 event solidified Weidman’s status as one of the top dogs in the division when he thoroughly dominated Mark Munoz in both the grappling and striking departments of the fight. After a vicious counter-elbow sent The Filipino Wrecking Machine to the canvas, Weidman pounced on his fallen prey with 16 unanswered shots for the victory.
How does this shake up the rankings? Let’s take a look!
