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
