Atop the middleweight mountain stands Chris Weidman. He’s young, big, strong and capable of competing with and defeating everybody who stands in front of him.

In the aftermath of UFC 170, the biggest question coming out of the event was an obvious one: Who should be next opponent for champion Ronda Rousey?

At UFC 162, Chris Weidman viciously knocked out the longest-reigning UFC champion of all time, Anderson Silva. In their second matchup, the Brazilian lost once more, triggering a permanent changing of the guard in the middleweight division.
