Chris Weidman finally defined his next commitment in the UFC. After the controversy involving a sequence of fingerprints on his eyes during the confrontation with Bruno “Blindado”, the former middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg.) opted to face the veteran Erik Anders. The fight is scheduled for November 16, according to the company 'Iridium Sport Agency'.
