Weidman, Rousey To Defend Belts At UFC184 In LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Chris Weidman will defend his middleweight title against Vitor Belfort, and Ronda Rousey will defend her bantamweight title against Cat Zingano at UFC 184 at Staples Center on Feb. 28.
UFC President Dana White announced the matchups Wednesday.
Weidman (12-0) has defended the 185-pound title twice since taking it away from Anderson Silva in July 2013. His defense against Belfort (24-10) was rescheduled from Dec. 6 after Weidman broke his hand in training.
Rousey (10-0) is a Southern California native who has defended her 135-pound title four times.
Rousey was previously slated to meet Zingano (9-0) at UFC 182 in Las Vegas on Jan. 3. No reason has been given for the change.
UFC 184 will be the mixed martial arts promotion's first show in Southern California since February 2013.
