Chris Weidman: Bisping would be my easiest fight in 5 years - I'll be fighting at MSG

[KONE]

Weidman is pretty much writing off Bisping and calling him an easy fight. Sound familiar?

“I don’t think there’s one guy in the top 15 that you could be like, ‘Bisping definitely beats that guy,'” Weidman told MMAjunkie. “He’s challenging the No. 13 guy (in the official UFC rankings) right now, and Dan Henderson is honestly, he’s one of my favorite fighters. I’m not saying anything bad about him. But it’s the way the system works, the rankings system. You work your way up in the rankings and right now he’s that low and that’s who Bisping – really that’s the only guy who he’s talking about.

“It’s kind of embarrassing for Bisping, but Bisping got the title, good for him. He’s trying to hold on to it as long as possible and if he can get himself a fight with the No. 13 guy, it probably brings his odds up a bit from anybody else.”

“All of a sudden he’s the matchmaker – Bisping the matchmaker,” Weidman said. “It’s weird. The guy’s been trying to catch my attention, he’s been trying to talk, and he’s just been talking down on my career since I’ve been in the sport, since I got into the UFC. He’s never said a nice thing about me. Now all of a sudden this guy’s champion and it’s really because of me. He should really just be thanking me, kissing my feet. But instead he’s just opening his mouth trying to discredit me still.”

“I’ll be ready to go pretty soon here and I’ll be fighting at (Madison Square Garden) for sure,” Weidman said. “I want to fight for the title, that’s obviously where it’s at, that’s where the moneys at. I want to be able to provide for my family and Bisping would be the easiest fight I’ve had in probably five years. Why not win the title and win a lot of money and have an easy fight all in one time?”

I think Weidman would dominate Bisping.

And Bisping did actually change his tune regarding fighting Weidman, so I understand why he's saying this. Would be an entertaining fight though.

When you're not careful in training and have to pull out of fights... weird stuff like Bisping becoming champion and calling the shots starts happening.

 

[Zarra]

Come on,not in 5 years. In like 4.

 

[TatooNU]

Weidman is way too injury prone. Not sure UFC would trust Chris to headline MSG. I think Weidman would be 3-1 favourite over Bisping like the rest of top 5.

It's just funny how hard he's clamoring for a title shot when he doesn't deserve one either.

Agreed. Surely Bisping is better than Jesse "Water" Bongfeldt

Dude has ADD, give him a break.

lol more like "I'm made of glass and the UFC had to scrape together a main event at the last minute to save a card because I'm so injury prone".

 

[MisterInsideHer]

He's probably right, but still, Weedman is annoying.

 

[Dart Feld]

Idk if there's many easy fights in the top 10 for "IV ban" Weidman. He looks like a WW on fight night while having the cardio of a HW.

Bisping might put together a decent run in this USADA era, who knows.

 

[Perrichet]

Bisping would probably put up a better fight than what Anderson did

“All of a sudden he’s the matchmaker – Bisping the matchmaker,” Weidman said


Weidman the matchmaker annoying Dana 24/7 so that he got an immediate rematch after getting decisively finished by Rockhold

the irony

then pulls out last minute

and now he wants Bisping instead of Rockhold

in his hometown at 205

despite coming off a dominant loss to the guy bisping just tooled

 

[Nightmaree]

He should have learned Luke's mistake, but i still think Weidman beats him comfortably

 

[Bronson]

Rockhold wrote off the Bisping. Oops.

 

[Thesnake101]

Can't believe Weidman has become so whiney and unlikable (at least to me), he's probably right but the fight won't happen anytime soon for two reasons:

1- He's coming off a loss and shouldn't be near a title shot, Jacare, Romero, Whittaker and the winner of Brunson/Mousasi have a better case for a shot.

2- He's so injury prone that even if the fight was booked, it would have to be rescheduled two or more times.

Although I think that Bisping won't hold the belt for long and will probably lose it in his first defence (unless it's against that human carcass previously known as Hendo*), I will be rooting for him in each of them, unless it's against Romero.

*: It's meant to be a joke, pls no dubs, I love Dan. His KO of Lombard was one of the best moments of 199.

 

[bdthrill]

Weidman turning into a butt hurt Jose aldo. Needs to shut up

 

[ortizgnp]

Bisping would probably put up a better fight than what Anderson did

That is true.

 

[NotSoSure]

Give Jacare his shot. Then make Jacare Weidman, make Rockhold sit and wait.

 

[WhiteMousse]

Not writing him off. He's hungry and Bisping is a snack.

 

[CRuck1980]

Doing an awful lot of whining for a guy that pulled out of the fight
