Chris Weidman looks to make a statement in 2013 and win the UFC's middleweight title after enduring one of the toughest years of his life in 2012. One that included shoulder surgery, hurricanes, and a death in his family.
Constantinos Philippou isn't a name that pops up when it comes to the elite 185-pound fighters in the UFC. It's not that he isn't talented; on the contrary, it's just that you may not know him yet, but he will change that at UFC 155 this weekend.
Not one to talk up a storm, Tim Boetsch says he prefers to let his fighting do the talking for him, even if it means other people might get titles shot before he does. "The Barbarian" says he'll get his shot after he runs out of people to "beat up."

Michael Bisping says he'd "have his way" with Tim Boetsch, Georges St-Pierre sees his knee injury as a positive thing, and Vitor Belfort claims Forrest Griffin refused to fight him on today's edition of the Morning Report.
