Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman will make his light heavyweight debut on October 18, as he faces unbeaten 205-pound contender Dominick Reyes in the five-round main event of UFC Fight Night at TD Garden in Boston.
UFC Boston airs live on ESPN. Tickets go on sale on August 23.
Back in action for the first time since his Fight of the Night battle with „Jacare“ Souza in November 2018, Long Island’s Weidman is healthy and eager to begin his quest for a second divisional title this fall. Standing in Weidman’s way is the fourth-ranked light heavyweight in the world in Reyes, whose perfect record includes UFC victories over Jared Cannonier, Ovince Saint Preux and Volkan Oezdemir.
