Belfort is going to get beat up worse then machida.
He might have a 1st round scare over that champ but itll go in to the deep rounds where weidman wants it and vitor will sink.

I feel like when you schedule fights this far out it only increases the chances for **** to go wrong. No one needs 6 months to prepare for a fight.

There is no way all 3 of these fights are on the same PPV.

Only Weidman/Belfort is confirmed for December 6. 

Pettis said yesterday he's fighting December 6, and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept that one on there. 

But I don't think Rousey vs. Carano will be scheduled for this one. Or, if it is, they'll shift Pettis/Melendez to January 3. 

We shall see.

So far Rousey/Carano has been loosely rumoured so I'm pretty sure it won't be on this card now that Vitor's been licensed ...

Pettis/Melendez was probably a place-holder and will be moved, I seriously doubt they're gonna have to title fights above 145lbs on the same PPV.

They only do double title fights on serious once in a lifetime cards or if one of them's 145lbs and under since those don't usually sell on their own ...

yeah Dana said he would have Carano signed on Monday, its now wednesday and not a peep about it so I think Dana lied again. I could see two title fights on this card. Melendez isnt a UFC staple yet and Pettis has never headlined a card as the champ to gauge fan intrest, and both guys will have been away from the sport for quite a while (14 & 16 months).

Also hoping the buyrate for 178 is high, which would encourage them to keep stacking PPVs and maybe limit how many they put on in 2015.
