The UFC is in New York City on Saturday for UFC 230, and even though the headlining bout between two-division champion Daniel Cornier and Derrick Lewis was hastily assembled, that doesn’t mean it’s not a high-stakes matchup. Cormier, who holds both the heavyweight and light heavyweight belts, has the remainder of his career pretty well planned out, but if he loses his heavyweight crown to Lewis, those plans could change. A Lewis win could also have a trickle-down effect on the 205-pound division. While the heavyweight title bout has garnered the most attention, it would be a mistake to overlook the four other contests on the pay-per-view portion of this card. Each of those bouts is a middleweight matchup, which means there could be some serious movement in the 185-pound division by the end of the event. Those fights include the co-headlining scrap between ex-champ Chris Weidman and former Strikeforce kingpin Ronaldo Souza .
