I'll take Rob, he's so God damn quick, his ability to defend takedowns, get back up from bottom and even his footwork making it hard to even engage him is high level. Rob for sure has the better cardio of the two and the cleaner striking. I'd favor 2015 Weidman to beat Izzy though.

Horrible matchup for Christopher. Any wrestler would have their hand fulls with Whittaker, and Weidman isn't going to match him on the feet.

One punches air, the other hits himself.
Neither can touch Izzy.

Even in his "prime" Weidman never reached his full potential

Way too many injuries

A prime Weidman beats any version of Whittaker. Especially the one who was losing to Court McGee and getting launched into orbit by Wonderboy.

Now why would you want to do that to Chris?

so a prime middleweight champion beats a low ranked welterweight?

That’s what “any version” does indeed mean.

fair enough.

This should be moved to the fantasy matchup discussion

Weidman lol the way American fans talk about this overrated fighter that “mysteriously” fell off once certain things changed.

I get why he’s celebrated, though. You’ll never see another Weidman or Dillashaw or Forrest Griffin ever win a title again(part of why the UFC is trying to force a Colby title).

Whittaker is too fast, coordinated, and a fast better striker. Not to mention tougher overall. He would decimate Weidman.

The exact same way fans on here were certain Machida and Silva would decimate him on the feet?

Prime Weidman knocks him out.
