UFC squeezes Chris Weidman vs. Eryk Anders rebooking onto 2024 schedule

The UFC’s 2024 schedule is pretty much mapped out, but the promotion created some extra room to get a recently canceled fight back on the books.

Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman will face Eryk Anders on Dec. 10 at UFC 310, the promotion announced Wednesday following a report by Newsday. The bout will take place at a 195-pound contract weight. The event takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Weidman (16-7 MMA, 12-7 UFC) vs. Anders (16-8 MMA, 8-8 UFC) was initially slated for this past Saturday’s UFC 309. However, Anders fell ill shortly before the card began and the fight was scrapped as a result.

Now with the bout rebooked, Weidman would’ve looked to continue momentum after a win over Bruno Silva in March. Anders aims to win three of four, having recently become recreational drug-free for the first time in 14 years.

With the addition, the UFC 310 lineup includes:

• Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Asakura – for flyweight title

• Ian Machado Garry vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov

• Ciryl Gane vs. Alexander Volkov

• Doo Ho Choi vs. Nate Landwehr

• Kron Gracie vs. Bryce Mitchell

• Movsar Evloev vs. Aljamain Sterling

• Eryk Anders vs. Chris Weidman

• Dominick Reyes vs. Anthony Smith

• Clay Guida vs. Chase Hooper

• Michael Chiesa vs. Max Griffin

• Cody Durden vs. Joshua Van

• Martin Buday vs. Rizvan Kuniev

• Bryan Battle vs. Randy Brown

• Lukasz Brzeski vs. Tallison Teixeira
