What else is he supposed to do with him?Now he's said that Dana will probably stick him on the prelims of an Apex fight night against some mega juiced prospect.
Get him to fight someone who's on another bad streak like Shahbazyam or Warlley Alvez. Maybe even bring Rockhold back. I'd much rather watch that then see him get battered in a squash match.What else is he supposed to do with him?
Thats the lot of fighters who stay around too long and cant have good fights anymore. They are fed to someone with a future.Get him to fight someone who's on another bad streak like Shahbazyam or Warlley Alvez. Maybe even bring Rockhold back.

Yeah that's true. I know it makes business sense for them to do that. I still really enjoy it when the vets/old/well past their prime fighters get matched up.Thats the lot of fighters who stay around too long and cant have good fights anymore. They are fed to someone with a future.
A large house, a few cars, taxes/gym fees, maintenance can add up very quickly.
Investing into S&P/total stock market funds or real estate in the last 3 years could have been very profitable. But fighters seem to keep unretiring or not retiring when they should. Money is the reason 99% of the time.
He shouldn’t even have this fight. But it’s his body. Another loss or win won’t affect his legacy. It’s already shot to hell.
An Ex-Champ that defended 3 times. Then once Usada came. He fell off the face of the earth. Just like a few other fighters.
True upper middle class makes money off passive/semi-passive investments/trusts or at least have a profession like a doctor that pretty much guarantees high income.
Without that criteria upper middle class is not sustainable for most people.
How do you know he doesn’t have investments and stuff? At least he co owns his gym with longo. Which admittedly, may not be enough for his lifestyle creep. He was making great money as champView attachment 1022999
Chris is like many semi-poor/middle class fighters. he trapped himself and his family in a luxurious lifestyle
that he can't maintain forever.
most households cant maintain the same standard of living when papa retire and thats how the family
fall apart.
Money could be the main reason, but weidman clearly loves the sport, and had championship aspirations even until his last fight.A large house, a few cars, taxes/gym fees, maintenance can add up very quickly.

Finally. I'm glad I'm not the only one to dislike him.Am I the only one who never liked Chris? He's always come across like a low IQ douche bag. Even if he never beat Anderson, he still isn't likable. Not to mention he tried to game the system against Gegard and played himself, which was a terrible look.
