We’re two months away from the sport’s pound-for-pound best fighter putting his title on the line, when middleweight champion Anderson Silva takes on Chris Weidman at UFC 162 in Las Vegas.
With many people already counting Weidman out and talking super-fights for Silva, we sit down with the No. 1 contender who opens up about being overlooked, preparing for “The Spider” and why he’s so confident he’ll walk away with his hand raised.
While things are clear atop the 185-pound division, there is a lot to be decided at 155. With so many marquee matchups taking place in April the rankings have seen a major shuffle, so we take an in-depth look at the current state of the lightweight division.
UFC 159 left many questions surrounding many main-event fighters. We go “Inside the Octagon” to run down all the latest headlines including whether Jon Jones could return sooner than expected, and who Chael Sonnen now has his sights set on.
And in the latest “Beginning of the End” we examine what led to Roy Nelson’s knockout victory over Cheick Kongo.
