Let the middleweight title runoff begin. Four standouts in the UFC’s 185-pound division – Lyoto Machida , Gegard Mousasi , Ronaldo Souza and Francis Carmont – headline Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 36. With current kingpin Chris Weidman moving on from a residency opposite former champ Anderson Silva, contenders are lining up for the next No. 1 contender spot. The question now is who can break out of the pack and become the division’s obvious choice for a shot at the belt. Weidman, who’s put Silva on the shelf for up to a year with a broken leg, meets an established and controversial name in ex-champ Vitor Belfort in May at UFC 173.
