CALGARY – Tim Boetsch didn’t exactly make a convincing case for a UFC middleweight title shot.
Unlike Chris Weidman’s emphatic win over Mark Munoz a few weeks prior, Boetsch’s close victory over Hector Lombard at Saturday’s UFC 149 event won’t have fans clamoring for his immediate shot at champion Anderson Silva.
UFC president Dana White, though, is willing to give the “Barbarian” a pass.
