Weidman apologizes for injury, but says: “Vitor has no right to be angry'

Originally, Belfort and Weidman were scheduled to face each other in May last year, but the Brazilian was removed from the fight following the ban on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The appointment was then rescheduled for December, but Weidman discovered an old fracture in his hand and was unable to fight. The long-awaited duel would take place in February, when the champion once again injured himself, this time to his rib, and postponed the meeting once again.

Therefore, it is expected that the fight between Chris Weidman e Vitor belfort take place on May 23, in Las Vegas (USA), in the main fight of UFC 187.
