“Status update, got food poisoning Friday night and there was no way I would have been able to go out there and compete. Super upset I didn’t get to compete at MSG against a former champ. I seriously doubt that opportunity will come around again, but it is what it is. Hopefully we can get that matchup rebooked ASAP. Thank you all for the messages of concern.”
Weidman (16-7) was looking to make it two in a row coming off a victory over Bruno Silva in March. The former middleweight champion snapped a tough 3-fight losing streak that began when he broke his leg against Uriah Hall at UFC 261 in 2021.
Anders (16-8) is coming off a decision victory over Jamie Pickett in March, in between two grappling victories with Fury Pro Grappling, and was looking to add a former champion to his resume.
UFC 310 takes place at T-Mobile Arena on Dec 7 in Las Vegas.
