He tweeted that it was a blessing in disguise that Belfort got to fight Jones. He says he should be back by November and would like to fight Weidman, or another top 5'er

Wow. Its no wonder they went to Vitor... We should have known how unlikely it would be for them to scrap a fight that was already booked, especially when the fights actually holds weight at MW... Although the priority of that fight would never be higher than a title fight...
Wand vs. Lombard?
If they are good to go soon.

Since Vitor is out and Belcher is out, I say have Weidman fight Rich Franklin just so that he can get an established name under his belt.
