[HOLY S**T!] Silva-Weidman II Confirmed for Dec.28th

[-Swizzy-]

A rematch between newly crowned UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva will take place Dec. 28, UFC president Dana White told ESPN Saturday.

The fight will headline UFC 168, happening at MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

Weidman (10-0) delivered a shocking upset on July 6, knocking out Silva (33-4) in the second round of their title fight in Las Vegas. The loss broke a UFC-record 16-fight win streak for Silva and was his first in the promotion.

"I back," Silva said. "Trust me. I back."

A previously announced female bantamweight title fight between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate is also on the card.

SWEET!!! Gonna plan a big party for this one for sure. Even my friends who aren't MMA fans are gonna want to see this.

Dana said it will happen but denied the Dec 28th date. I think he's trying to set it up for Superbowl weekend (Feb)

Dana denied it when the story first broke yesterday but he officially confirmed it about an hour ago.

Really he confirmed it? Awesome. I will look forward to this one even more than Sonnen 2 which I never would have expected from a non-superfight from Silva.

I can only imagine that loss probably left him sleepless for days.

He's knows better now then to screw around. Silva by KO in round 1!

[Dorian]

I hope Weidman pisses on him again!

[Drunken Cat]

Weidman beats him again.
