If there is one person who might have a right to be disappointed that new UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will rematch Anderson Silva in December’s UFC 168 main event, it’s Ronda Rousey . Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), the women’s bantamweight champion, was expected to headline the Dec. 28 pay-per-view event at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena against fellow ex-Strikeforce champion Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a rematch of their March 2012 contest, which Rousey ended in the first round with her vaunted armbar submission. Now, the women’s contest will take second billing, as Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) scored a shocking second-round knockout of Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC) on July 6 that instantly earned their second fight must-see status. Rousey insists that’s fine with her.
