After wiping out Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort at UFC 187 in the first round, Weidman is sitting pretty in the division. He’s looking better and better with each outing, and it’s becoming increasingly […]

After Chris Weidman’s smashing defeat of Vitor Belfort on Saturday night, only one fight makes sense. Luke Rockhold, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion, is in the middle of a four-fight winning streak. After losing to Belfort (the old TRT-fueled version, not the mortal one) in May 2013, Rockhold has scored wins over Costas Philippou, Tim […]

Following his title defense Saturday against Vitor Belfort at UFC 187, the fighter born and raised in Long Island, New York, said he […]
