Chris Weidman’s light heavyweight debut could be upon us soon.

The former middleweight champion recently announced he’d be making the move up to 205 following a run of four losses in his last five fights. And according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, a fight with Dominick Reyes is in the works for October 19 in Boston. He adds that nothing is finalized yet, however, as there are a couple of hurdles remaining before booking it.

Reyes, who is undefeated, has a claim to be the next challenger for Jon Jones, who Helwani adds wants to return on December 14 for the UFC end-of-year pay-per-view. However, given the latest developments, there are new pending legal issues to deal with. In addition, Corey Anderson seems to be in the running, but it’s still all in the preliminary phase.

For his part, “The Devastator” is fine with having to go through Weidman to prove he should face Jones next:

UFC light heavyweight Volkan Oezdemir may not face Ilir Latifi next, but has a different next opponent in mind anyway.

Oezdemir was supposed to take on Latifi in the co-main event of UFC Stockholm which takes place today (Saturday).

However, Latifi would pull out in the last minute due to a back injury and the light heavyweight bout was called off. Oezdemir was hoping for a short-notice opponent, but in the end, it was too late.

“I’m not going to go into details, but it’s what happened,” Oezdemir said in a recent Q&A (via MMA Junkie). “It’s weight cut time and everything’s getting a little bit difficult, so he pulled his back and he wasn’t able to fight. Here I am. I’m ready to fight. I was hoping something would happen, a last-minute change, but it wasn’t meant to be, so I’m looking forward to the next one.”

Given the uncertain timeline of Latifi’s injury, Oezdemir is not too keen on rebooking the fight. Instead, he has Dominick Reyes in his sights.

“For me the one I really want to avenge the most is my last fight,” Oezdemir added. “Dominick Reyes, his win is a stain on my record so I want to make it right.”

Oezdemir faced Reyes at UFC London in March. Despite many feeling “No Time” had done enough to win the decision, Reyes was awarded the split-decision win.

That setback put Oezdemir on a three-fight losing streak and is now eager to get back to winning ways by making things right against Reyes.
