Chris Weidman has actually had a hard go of it recently.
The previous UFC middleweight champ is simply 2-7 in his last 9 bouts in the UFC going back to the night he lost his the 185-pound crown to Luke Rockhold at UFC 194 in December 2015– the extremely exact same night that Conor McGregor ended Jose Aldo’s extended featherweight winning streak on a popular night in Las Vegas.
Sandwiched amongst those beats to Rockhold, Yoel Romero, Dominick Reyes, Jacare Souza and others was a horrible leg break he sustained in the opening seconds of an April 2021 defeat versus Uriah Hall; an injury which eliminated him from competitors for the very best part of 18 months before his return last August in a choice loss to Brad Tavares.
The greatest intense stimulate of Weidman’s current spell though was his July 2017 submission win over previous middleweight title competitor Kelvin Gastelum, which you can take a look at listed below ahead of Weidman’s battle this weekend in New Jersey versus the 23-10 Bruno Silva.
