Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva were headed for a match-up on Fox Sports 1 at the end of May postponement of the Weidman v Machida fight they’ve been bumped up to UFC 173.
The other two main fights on the UFC 173 card are Renan Barao vs T.J. Dillashaw for the bantamweight title and a welterweight fight between Robbie Lawler (his 2nd in 2 months) and Jake Ellenberger.
Dana White is working hard to make this event as good as possible and said as much, “I’m not done working on that car.”
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Daniel Cormier added to this card in preparation for a Jon Jones fight in the near future.
