Filed under: Featured , MMA Rumors , News , UFC Chris Weidman The heavily anticipated UFC middleweight title fight between champ Chris Weidman and top challenger Vitor Belfort that was supposed to take place next week appears to have a new home. The UFC is targeting its Memorial Day weekend card in Las Vegas in May for the rescheduled championship fight – which already was rescheduled once. A source with knowledge of the fight recently told MMAjunkie of the plan. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the fight. UFC 187 takes place May 23 in Las Vegas, though a venue has not yet been announced by the promotion. The card is expected to be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and top contender Anthony Johnson, which would make the Weidman-Belfort middleweight bout a second title fight and the co-main event.
