Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is happy to be back in action after recovering from a nasty leg injury, but isn’t thrilled with his placement on the card. At UFC 292 , Weidman (15-6 MMA, 11-6 UFC) will compete in the feature preliminary bout against Brad Tavares (19-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC). The event takes place at TD Garden in Boston, and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN, and early prelims on ESPN+. In his last appearance at UFC 261, Weidman suffered a horrific leg break against Uriah Hall. The former champion always vowed to make a return to action, and finally gets his opportunity nearly 28 months later. Weidman is used to competing on main cards, typically fighting in big spots
