Media 2 minutes of Chris Weidman's powerful takedowns

Yeah, the problem with guys like Whitaker, Costa and Gastelum is while they may have some wrestling skills, they're simply not going to follow a real wrestling gameplan for 5 rounds. I've heard people mention that each of these guys have some grappling chops (suggesting they could use them vs. Izzy), but it's not their nature to go for more than a TD or two the entire fight.

They're not wrestlers. You need a Weidman, Sonnen type, that is right. It's kind of like how people talked about Gaethje having a wrestling background as a way to make him more of threat in the Khabib fight. Yah, it's there but it's not his game or a real threat. I would actually like to see Chris back in good form and make it to fight Izzy.
