Media "I'm not done fighting." - Chris Weidman

[Oris79]

Chris says he's not done fighting. Says the fight was tough and says he was rusty.
Says he wants to continue training and fighting cause he believes in himself. Says he feels the support from fans, friends, and family is giving him strength.



He looks really down and in a lot of pain in this interview.
I really wish he'd step down. He's made good money and no reason to keep fighting when you don't need to.

He can always go back to being the spokesman for The Jewelry Gallary.

Best comebacks in combat sport history?

Ferguson after Green
Weidman after Tavares

I don't pity people that don't care about their own health when they have the option/choice to do something about it.

If he dies, he dies gif is appropriate here.

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

He better get used to the prelims.

 

[Fact Checker]

He’s one win away from a title fight according to DC and Rogan.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

He... didn't think... Tavares would attack his injury. Fully admitting he knows it's the fight game and he should have assumed it. He just didn't count on that tactic..

Fuckin... I don't care if he was still in his physical prime. His fight IQ has devolved to the sub-basement. Just retire.

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

He’ll KO Izzy and get the belt soon

 

[Tweak896]

Ufc is going to have to keep giving fights or release him, something has to give.

 

[Mammothman]

This is denial at this point, that or something oís very wrong in this guy head.

 

[KOPPE]

its more like "im not done getting paid"

 

[Gamer2k4]

He... didn't think... Tavares would attack his injury. Fully admitting he knows it's the fight game and he should have assumed it. He just didn't count on that tactic..

Reminds me of Zingano saying she wouldn't have opened the fight the way she did if she knew Rousey was going to go for her arm.

 

[Yep]

I don’t blame him. Hopefully he has the right people around him tho to step in and explain that it is over.

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

His wife needs to slap the shit out of him.

 

[chinarice]

Dude has the heart of a champion and the skills at one point in time but the body is no longer going to let him have what he believes he can achieve.

 

[Chillez]

Denial he needs to retire already he had a great career.

 

[Buff]

Someone needs to offer this man a job...

Dude can't figure out how to fill his time.

 

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

He never recovered from the Rockhold fight, either mentally or physically.

It's easier to be arrogant and think you're unbeatable when you've never lost a fight. He truly believed that he was invincible. Once he lost, and lost in the way he did, being mercilessly and brutally beaten down, his mindset tried to continue to be as if nothing had happened and he was still the same, undefeated, Chris Weidman but it was nothing but a delusion that's has gotten worse with every fight he has lost.

What made him a formidable fighter that could have confidence going against Anderson Silva, has made him a pitiful figure, someone who can't accept his reality.

 

[heavy_hands]

all this because Anderson didn’t take him seriously…

 

[USA!USA!]

All for it, give him some easier matchups. He is clearly not the guy he was at one point. Match him with similar competition and allow him the chance to retire with a W.

 

[linvillegorge]

Please make it stop. All pro athletes have to understand that their time in sports will come to an end at a time when they're still relatively young in life. It's a weird thing to be done professionally in your career of passion at such a young age. But it is what it is. The consequences of hanging around too long in the fight game are dire. You're not getting crossed over and dunked on like it's basketball. You're getting beat to a pulp.
