UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva 2 was a mixed martial arts event held on December 28, 2013, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.[4]
Background
The event was headlined by a UFC Middleweight Championship rematch between current champion Chris Weidman and former champion Anderson Silva.[4] The two previously met at UFC 162, with Weidman winning via KO in the second round and earning the title.
Co-featured was a UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate.[5] The two met before under the Strikeforce banner in 2012 with Rousey winning via first round submission. This served as the coaches bout for The Ultimate Fighter 18.
Initially, it was announced that Rousey would face top contender Cat Zingano at this event, after Zingano defeated Tate at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.[6][7] However, Zingano was pulled from the bout, and subsequently as coach for The Ultimate Fighter, after it was announced that she had suffered a knee injury and would be sidelined for several months. Tate was tabbed as the replacement and the rematch with Rousey was announced.[8]
Shane del Rosario was expected to face Guto Inocente at the event, but both men pulled out of the bout, citing injuries. On November 26, 2013, del Rosario had two sudden heart attacks and died on December 9, 2013.[9][10]
Diego Brandão weighed in seven pounds over the featherweight limit of 146 lb. Brandão re-weighed and was 151.5, but was still fined 25% of his purse for missing weight.[11]
