LOUISVILLE, Ky. – This is the UFC on Versus 3 live blog for Alessio Sakara vs. Chris Weidman, a middleweight main-card bout at the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville, Ky.
Sakara (15-7, 1 NC, 6-4, 1 NC UFC), who trains at American Top Team, comes into the bout with a three-fight winning streak. He knocked out James Irvin last March at the UFC’s first Live on Versus card. Sakara has been on the shelf for nearly a year, despite several booked bouts, due to his father’s death, an injury and a bad case of the flu at UFC 122 in November.
Weidman (4-0) is Sakara’s third opponent for the card – Maiquel Falcao and Rafael Natal both pulled out with injuries. An All-American wrestler at Hofstra, Weidman trains with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra in New York and is Ring of Combat’s middleweight champion.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Despite all the superlatives that have already been hurled his way in just four pro MMA fights, despite a near-constant stream of kudos that comes from training side by side with a former champion, despite all the hype and the buzz, Chris Weidman was still surprised when the UFC called for his services.
Weidman, a Division I All-American wrestler at Hofstra who trains with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and Ray Longo on Long Island, was confident he’d get to The Show some day, but was realistic about it.
“I was definitely a little surprised (when the UFC called),” Weidman told MMA Fighting on Tuesday, two days before his main-card fight against Alessio Sakara at UFC on Versus 3 on Thursday. “I felt like I was always ready, but I just know how it works with MMA. You usually need a couple more fights than I have, especially to get to a main card. But I’m in it, and I’m trying to make the best of the opportunity.”

For all his pre-fight bluster, Chael Sonnen walked into the octagon as a major underdog against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, with most expecting him to emerge chastened and quieted, however briefly. Yet for about 23 minutes, Sonnen did just what he said he would, dominating Silva as he seemingly coasted towards his moment of glory. It was not to be. In a comeback that will live on in MMA lore for years to come, Silva found a way to steal a win from Sonnen’s back pocket, trapping him with a fight-ending triangle/armbar submission.
Even in losing, though, Sonnen did something of immeasurable value to the UFC: he stayed a viable contender. Beyond the UFC’s long-reigning champion, a look at the 185-pound class worldwide shows a wide-open field. More specifically, most of the world’s top 10 middleweights are over 30 years old. While opportunities abound, though, few young 185-pound prospects have distinguished themselves.
Most weight classes have their exciting, young prodigies. Featherweight has Jose Aldo, welterweight has John Hathaway, and light-heavyweight has Jon Jones, among others. So where, we must ask, is the next great, young middleweight?
