UFC on Fuel TV 4: Mark Munoz vs. Chris Weidman Complete Preview and Prediction
Competing in the first major middleweight bout since Anderson Silva defended his title against Chael Sonnen, Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman have an edge over all other 185-pound fighters in the hunt for a shot at the belt. If the winner of the UFC on Fuel TV 4 main event walks away without injury, Silva could make a quick turnaround and meet that fighter before the end of the year.
Heading into Wednesday's matchup with Weidman, Munoz has been out of action for more than eight months. Munoz was previously scheduled to meet Sonnen in a title shot eliminator, but he suffered a nasty elbow injury in training and was replaced by Michael Bisping. Now, Munoz will return to the Octagon for the first time since picking up a fourth consecutive victory in a bout against Chris Leben.
During Munoz's absence, Weidman has quickly risen toward the top of the middleweight division with victories over Demian Maia and Tom Lawlor. Despite accepting the bout with Maia on short notice, Weidman was able to show improved striking in what currently stands as the biggest victory of his MMA career.
