The heavily anticipated UFC middleweight title fight between champ Chris Weidman and top challenger Vitor Belfort that was supposed to take place next week appears to have a new home.

The UFC is targeting its Memorial Day weekend card in Las Vegas in May for the rescheduled championship fight – which already was rescheduled once. A source with knowledge of the fight recently told MMAjunkie of the plan. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the fight.

UFC 187 takes place May 23 in Las Vegas, though a venue has not yet been announced by the promotion. The card is expected to be headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and top contender Anthony Johnson, which would make the Weidman-Belfort middleweight bout a second title fight and the co-main event.

Weidman (12-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Belfort (24-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC) originally were set to meet in May at UFC 173 before Belfort was pulled from the card in the wake of the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s ban on testosterone-replacement therapy, of which Belfort was a multi-year participant. Weidman went on to fight Lyoto Machida and earned a unanimous decision.

The UFC moved then Weidman vs. Belfort to Feb. 28 in Los Angeles, but main event honors fell to UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano after Weidman suffered a rib injury in late January that forced him out of the fight.

Weidman’s participation on the card would be contingent on him being fully healed from the injury that kept him out of next week’s matchup.
