Almost a year in the making, Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva will finally meet face-to-face in the octagon at UFC 162 on July 6, 2013.

Here's a question: if we're critical of Floyd Mayweather for being boring, are we allowed to absolve UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre of similar blame? If you watched Mayweather positively route Robert Guerrero last Saturday, there are some of you who are going to admit the bout was boring.

His unique blend of size, athleticism and fight I.Q. are unlike anything that MMA has ever seen.

Following his first-round destruction of Mark Munoz last July, Weidman lobbied hard for a shot at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

A series of high-profile wins can catapult a fighter into top contendership while a cluster of disappointing losses can easily result in a firing.

The UFC has officially released their first promotional poster for UFC 162 , and needless to say, they are highlighting the main-event bout between Anderson Silva and Chris Silva enters the bout with a unblemished 16-0 record inside the Octagon, with 10 of those wins being successful UFC middleweight title defenses.
