UFC on Versus 3 Live Blog: Alessio Sakara vs. Chris Weidman Updates

Filed under:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - This is the UFC on Versus 3 live blog for Alessio Sakara vs. Chris Weidman, a middleweight main-card bout at the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville, Ky.

Sakara (15-7, 1 NC, 6-4, 1 NC UFC), who trains at American Top Team, comes into the bout with a three-fight winning streak. He knocked out James Irvin last March at the UFC's first Live on Versus card. Sakara has been on the shelf for nearly a year, despite several booked bouts, due to his father's death, an injury and a bad case of the flu at UFC 122 in November.

Weidman (4-0) is Sakara's third opponent for the card - Maiquel Falcao and Rafael Natal both pulled out with injuries. An All-American wrestler at Hofstra, Weidman trains with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra in New York and is Ring of Combat's middleweight champion.
