"In July, Chris Weidman shocked the world with a second-round knockout of Anderson Silva, a man who many believe to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. On Saturday, Dec. 28th, their anticipated rematch will take place when Weidman defends the UFC middleweight title against Silva. Plus, another heated rematch will help the UFC close the year in style. Women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey defends her crown against heated nemesis Miesha Tate."

Background[edit]
The event is expected to be headlined by a Middleweight Championship rematch between the champion Chris Weidman and former champion Anderson Silva.[1] The two previously met at UFC 162 with Weidman winning via knockout in the second round, earning the title.
Co-featured will be a Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between the current champion Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate.[2] The two met before under the Strikeforce banner in 2012 with Rousey winning via first round submission. This will serve as the coaches bout for The Ultimate Fighter 18.
Initially, it was announced that Rousey would face top contender Cat Zingano at this event, after Zingano defeated Tate at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.[3][4] However, Zingano was pulled from the bout, and subsequently as coach for The Ultimate Fighter, after it was announced that she had suffered a knee injury and would be sidelined for several months. Tate was tabbed as the replacement and the rematch with Rousey was announced.[5]
Shane del Rosario was expected to face Guto Inocente at the event, but both men pulled out of the bout, citing injuries. On November 26, del Rosario had two sudden heart attacks and died on December 9.[6][7]
Diego Brandao weighed in seven pounds over the featherweight limit of 146 lbs. Brandao re-weighed and was 151.5, but would still be fined 25% of his purse for missing weight.[8]
