Chris Weidman has pulled out of his title defense next month against Vitor Belfort at UFC 184.
A rib injury during training forced Weidman, from Baldwin, to postpone defending his UFC middleweight title on Feb. 28 in Los Angeles.
Trainer Ray Longo, who is in Las Vegas for Al Iaquinta’s fight against Joe Lauzon at UFC 183 on Saturday, told Newsday that Weidman fractured the rib cartilage while wrestling.
