Can Weidman get his wrestle on at 205?
Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Boston, MA. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Dominick Reyes vs. Chris Weidman in the main event down to Daniel Spitz vs. Tanner Boser in the opening prelims.
The UFC’s show in Boston this week is set to be a showcase for the promotion’s various scouting outlets. Filled with fighters from the Tuesday Night Contender Series, the Ultimate Fighter, and Dana White’s Lookin’ for a Fight, for less invested fans, most of the important action is going to sit squarely in the main & co-main events. At the end of the evening, former middleweight champion Chris Weidman will make his light heavyweight debut against fast rising contender Dominick Reyes. In the co-main, Jeremy Stephens will get his quick rematch against Yair Rodriguez—after their first attempted bout ended in an early eye poke.
