UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (12-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) puts his belt on the line against Vitor Belfort (24-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC) in the Feb. 24 pay-per-view headliner, which takes place at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Top-10 fighters Ronaldo Souza (21-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) and Yoel Romero (9-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) meet on the undercard.
Should one of the four suffer an injury or endure any circumstance that would prevent him from participating, Rockhold (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) said he wants to serve as a replacement.
“There are four middleweights fighting coming up in February, and potentially someone might fall out,” Rockhold told MMAjunkie. “If one of those guys falls out, I’ll be ready to go.”
