Weidman has many calling for him to be the next number-one contender at Middleweight. Dana White has also been quoted as perhaps fast-tracking former Bellator champ Hector Lombard to the title shot with a win over the top-10 Boetsch. Belfort has looked impressive in

In a video courtesy of Ironforgesiron.com, UFC Middleweight champion apparently forgets that he is wearing a microphone while training with Wanderlei Silva for his upcoming UFC 147 headliner with Vitor Belfort.
