People forget how good prime Weidman was. The version of The Chris that existed before Herb Dean allowed him to suffer massive brain damage vs Rockhold, and before Yoel kneed him into orbit, was better than any of these recent champs.

Diamond Dallas Du Pricus - one-dimensional brawler with gas tank issues. Prime Chris would outwrestle him then TKO or sub DDP easily.

Sean Strickland - zero power or finishing ability. His fighting stance looks like he was taught by tippie-toes BJ Penn. Any wrestler could take him down at will with this upright fighting style.

Poatan - his one glaring weakness is wrestling, but he’s been sheltered from wrestlers by the matchmakers. The Chris by far superior wrestling then TKO or sub.

Adesanya - Again, zero wrestling or TDD. This would be like Chris vs Anderson but even easier.

My boy Chris ‘’my boy’ Weidman will always be my boy but despite him being my boy, my boy would get wrecked at 185 today but he’s still my boy.

What? No. Those guys aren’t 45 years old.
 
I agree peak Weidman beats guys like Izzy and Poatan. Bad match up for them. He was durable and could control the fight and I don't think they could match his grappling intensity.

I mean he beat the goat twice and fought Machida when he was still good. I’ll concede that he did duck Vitor until enough time had passed since USADA that Vitor was no longer a total monster. Either way, he’s a stylistic nightmare for the pure strikers that have recently been at the top of MW.

So those guys weren't in their prime but the guy with like 30 surgeries was in his prime.

Sounds legit....
 
Chris would throw a spinning back kick and lose to the entire top 10.

it was beautiful when his father stuck by him after he lost his belt.

Unfortunately after the 5th KO loss he had to tell him that he could no longer be his boy.

Always our boy


Always always
 
Teh Chris will always be my boy for both Silva 1 and Silva 2.
I will never forget the laughter it gave me to see videos of little Brazzilian kids crying over both Silva loses.
 
Eh I don’t really think so, Chris best win in his prime was Silva which was good, but most of his title run was beating Silva’s sloppy seconds in the Usada era

Leg snap victory against Silva

Non TRT Vitor

Out of prime Loyoto

And then lost the belt to Luke Rockhold which quickly aged like milk,
