Day Two!
The mixed martial arts (MMA) march to promote UFC 168: "Weidman vs. Silva 2" continues to roll today (Tues., Sept. 24, 2013) with the second stop on a seven-city, seven-day "World Tour" to promote the "biggest fight" in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) history.
For more from Day 1 of the Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva 2 "World Tour," including the full scrum video with UFC President Dana White, click here.
"All American" and "Spider" are in Las Vegas, Nevada, this afternoon at MGM Grand Garden Arena, which will host the colossal pay-per-view (PPV) event on Dec. 28, 2013. The promotional event, which is free and open to fight fans in "Sin City," will stream live in the video player above, beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
Even though the "World Tour" kicked off just yesterday in Torrance, Calif., the pair already began to exchange words, with Weidman declaring that he is "100 percent healthy" and Silva vowing to "give back" a knockout after he was finished by the undefeated Long Island, N.Y., native in the second round at UFC 162 this past Fourth of July weekend.
Expect more of the same, perhaps even another lip-locking staredown opportunity, when Weidman and Silva hold center stage at MGM Grand Garden Arena later this afternoon.
