- It appears Chris Weidman (Pictured) will have to prove his middleweight mettle at least one more time before getting a shot at the gold. The planet’s most prestigious mixed martial arts promotion announced Friday afternoon Weidman will battle Tim Boetsch at UFC 155.
“I think I’m the number-one contender in the division but with Anderson not fighting for the rest of 2012, I want to stay busy and keep getting better,” said Weidman. “I think I’m the best middleweight in the world and I’m going to prove it against another top contender.”
Many believed Weidman solidified his next dibs status by steamrolling Mark Munoz in July to bump his record to a perfect 9-0. However, it appears Octagon officials are saving 185-pound king Anderson Silva for a potential superfight against welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre.
Therefore, “All-American” must take another scrap in the meantime. continued... Thoughts? | |

| I am actually really torn here. On paper yes weidman is the better pick. But so was okami and lombard when they fought tim and we saw what happened. not saying Tims got a big chance here but he has seemed to pull together a few big upsets recently and i wouldnt count that out as an option. | |

| Yeah, assuming Weidman can duck a punch and get a takedown, I don't see Tim doing well on his back. | |

| I like both these guys but all signs point to a dominant finish for Chris IMO
But, who knows maybe Tim's strength will be too much for Weidman to handle... if Chris can't get it to the ground it could be a rough night. | |

| I would have liked to see Weidman fight Belcher, but this is probably better for him. Boetsch is a little easier fight IMO and a safer bet to secure a title shot. | |
