Chris Weidman out of UFC 199 middleweight title rematch with Luke Rockhold

Chris Weidman has reportedly pulled out of his UFC 199 middleweight championship bout with Luke Rockhold because of an undisclosed injury.

Fox Sports on Tuesday reported the former middleweight champion had withdrawn from the June 4 main event at The Forum in Inglewood.

Rockhold (15-2) dethroned Weidman (13-1) by TKO in December.

Whether the UFC comes up with a late replacement or scraps the middleweight title bout has yet to be determined.

The UFC 199 co-main event features bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz defending his title against longtime rival Urijah Faber.
