The date for Chris Weidman ’s middleweight title defense against Vitor Belfort has yet to be set, but it’s sounding more and more likely that it will happen in May. Weidman has said he prefers the Memorial Weekend fight card to the Fourth of July Weekend, as he’d like to have a bit of a “normal summer” with his family. UFC president Dana White, during a media gathering in New York on Thursday, said that a date still hasn’t been set, but they appear to be leaning towards UFC 173 on May 24 for the fight. He also added that the as-yet unscheduled bout between The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 coaches, Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva , is likely to grace the same fight card as Weidman vs. Belfort.
