We could be entering 2014 with neither Anderson Silva nor Georges St-Pierre as UFC champions. We definitely know GSP's case as he's vacated the Welterweight title, but Anderson Silva finds himself as "the challenger" for the first time since 2006. Current Middleweight champion Chris Weidman knocked him out at UFC 162 and his first defense is unsurprisingly an immediate rematch against "The Spider".
Ronda Rousey defends her UFC women's BW belt against Miesha Tate as they continue their heated rivalry that stretches all the way back to Strikeforce and continued on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. Josh Barnett takes on Travis Browne in a pivotal heavyweight contest, but my personal favorite fight (outside of the main event) is the main card opener between Dustin Poirier and Diego Brandao.
It should be a fantastic card, and here's the full lineup for Saturday, December 28th from Las Vegas, Nevada:
