UFC squeezes Chris Weidman vs. Eryk Anders rebooking onto 2024 schedule
The UFC's 2024 schedule is pretty much mapped out, but the promotion created some extra room to get a recently canceled fight back on the books.
Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman will face Eryk Anders on Dec. 10 at UFC 310, the promotion announced Wednesday following a report by Newsday. The bout will take place at a 195-pound contract weight. The event takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Weidman (16-7 MMA, 12-7 UFC) vs. Anders (16-8 MMA, 8-8 UFC) was initially slated for this past Saturday's UFC 309. However, Anders fell ill shortly before the card began and the fight was scrapped as a result.
Now with the bout rebooked, Weidman would’ve looked to continue momentum after a win over Bruno Silva in March. Anders aims to win three of four, having recently become recreational drug-free for the first time in 14 years.
With the addition, the UFC 310 lineup includes:
Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura – for flyweight title
Ian Machado Garry vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov
Ciryl Gane vs. Alexander Volkov
Doo Ho Choi vs. Nate Landwehr
Kron Gracie vs. Bryce Mitchell
Movsar Evloev vs. Aljamain Sterling
Eryk Anders vs. Chris Weidman
Dominick Reyes vs. Anthony Smith
Clay Guida vs. Chase Hooper
Michael Chiesa vs. Max Griffin
Cody Durden vs. Joshua Van
Martin Buday vs. Rizvan Kuniev
Bryan Battle vs. Randy Brown
Lukasz Brzeski vs. Tallison Teixeira
