The UFC has always liked Weidman and there are a shortage of contenders right now at 185, with Gastelum and Chris being the only viable options. I actually think this is a very interesting fight. Weidman is durable, rangy, stays active wherever the fight goes and has a good chin. Meanwhile Whittaker would be the favorite due to his pace and diversity alone. Who would you pick of this fight happens?

I'd say the guy who is not a shell of his pre-USADA self.
 
Fairly confident Whittaker TKO's him
 
Weidman has done nothing to deserve a title shot. And Whittaker would give him a good beating.
 
Chris is a good wrestling coach/trainer. He should find a good camp that needs a wrestling coach and join it full time. A great move for him, he could make a name as a respected wrestling coach, and make a good living. The only time he needs to be in the cage is for the after-fight photos with his fighters.
 
Weidman would have a strong first couple rounds, but if he doesn't get it done early then I don't see him beating Whittaker over 5.

He is very durable tho, so I don't see Whittaker finishing him.
 
Bobby Knuckles by TKO...
 
Given how good Whittaker's TDD has looked, it'd be hard to even think that Chris would stand a chance.
 
Honestly...For Weidman's own good...He needs to fight a couple guys lower than he is.

Seems he's lost that confidence he had when undefeated. Wins over lesser guys could help him mentally.

There's also all the knee injuries and shit, like Cain, I don't think he was built to last in this sport.

If they were to fight next, I would have to pick Robert by decision or KO.
 
Weidman finished Gastelumin his last fight, why would they give it to Gastelum. They won't.
 
Whittikers overall resume >>>>>>>>>>>> Weidman.

2x Romero
Jacare

Its amazing how he's looked when he doesnt drain himself.
 
Weidman finished Gastelumin his last fight, why would they give it to Gastelum. They won't.
Who has Gastlum beat while Weidman cried for a TS?

Jacare and a former champ.

Gastelum should get the shot.
 
Whittaker will finish the playboi
 
The guy that doesn't put his palms on the mat usually wins.
