Chris Weidman out; Costantinos Philppou vs Tim Boetsch

http://mmajunkie.com/news/31739/chris-weidman-out-of-ufc-155-constantinos-philippou-now-fights-tim-boetsch.mma

Weidman was going to style on Boetsch so this one doesn't really bug me that much

Shoulder surgery BTW. Out 3-6 months

For crying out loud! Stop with the injuries!

I hear it's a torn labrum. Probably won't see him fight again until May or June.

Will be interesting to see how this changes the MW landscape. Will the Vitor/Bisping winner fight Weidman in the summer months? Maybe Bisping/Vitor vs Rockhold for interim title?

From what I hearing with the GSP vs Spider talks are not going well.

good fight, phillipou is a future contender, plus he trains gsp

i think Phillipou wins.

A pity.

Belfort vs. Bisping winner vs. Weidman in the summer for the interim title.

It's only been four days since 154 give them time.

As for when he'll return? He answered that fairly promptly.

"@uysijosh: @chrisweidmanufc how long before you can fight again?" I'm told ill be at 100 percent at 4 months if everything goes smoothly.

Talks with GSP and Spider have come to a complete stop....I would be shocked if the fight happened now.

Bottom line:

GSP wants the fight only at 170.

Anderson refuses to cut that much weight.

GSP say's he may take the fight against Anderson and move to MW permanently if he is able to clean out the division this year, which he said is basically Hendricks/Diaz...he doesn't want and refuses to face Rory if he is a viable contender which is one of his motives for making the jump..

Anderson will most likely sit until the end of 2013.

Why did you have to ruin my day

Back to the topic. Stan tried to get this fight as the replacement. It would have been auch better fight.
