Enter your zip code hereA look at the UFC 162: Silva vs Weidman PPV in Las Vegas, headlined by a middleweight title fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman. I think this will be a very interesting fight. The event will see middleweight champ Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva defend his title against No. 1 contender Chris Weidman in the main event.
