The Chris....

[Shaddows]

It's sad to see how far he fell.

Yes, he looked good on the first round, but just too far wrestling-heavy.
That never worked out for Weidman. He gasses far too easy.

Even with a win tonight, The Chris is far from the better version of himself.

 

[TheSpider]

Yup. He’s passed his prime. Happens to every fighter. Respect to the Chris on his win

 

[Berkowitz]

Remember the Weidman that fought Machida - that guy was invincible.

 

[JohnOates]

Yep. Past his prime. But respect where it's due.

 

[OmegaRugal]

Yup. He’s passed his prime. Happens to every fighter. Respect to the Chris on his win

He aged faster and worst than Silva.

Silva at 45 would kick this Weidmans butt.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

He scored A 10-8 in round 3 lol.

Remember the Weidman that fought Machida - that guy was invincible.

His peak

 

[reciprocate]

Nice to see him with a win, but his gas tank for 3 rounds won't cut it. Rest of the top 10 can outwork him or finish him.

 

[tasticles]

He looked very good tonight and I always look forward to him losing. He has been passed his prime since USADA guys. I'm well aware.

 

[2EZ]

look at his interview after, he knows he done.

 

[TheSpider]

He aged faster and worst than Silva.

Silva at 45 would kick this Weidmans butt.

36 year old Silva was front kicking prime Vitor stiff and matrixing prime Okami

 

[AmericanMMA]

Dominated the 3rd. Solid win. Odds were close.

 

[ErnestoRoost]

He's still trying... But he gets absolutely starched by anyone who can throw hands for more than a round. Akhmedov has one of the worst gas tanks in mma. I imagine him against a gatekeeper like Till and I shudder.

 

[Bubba32]

usada retired him

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Remember the Weidman that fought Machida - that guy was invincible.

And what about him vs Vitor Belfort when he finished him in Mount with a barrage of elbows and punches

That version would have finished Omari easily in mount. He's lost his explosiveness and quickness it seems

 

[0-2]

He looked slow, his striking was sloppy and he just plots forward. I always knew he was overrated. His title reign was comprised of fighting over the hill fighters that started MMA since the late 90s-early 00s. When he started fighting guys in their prime he gets whooped. Let’s see how Weidman fares when he’s approaching 40.

 

[gevoudane]

UFC announced its partnership with United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on June 3, 2015

Weidman 2-5 since

 

[ErnestoRoost]

look at his interview after, he knows he done.

Interesting... I got that too. The realisation and disappointment of knowing that's as good as he could have done, was hard for him to conceal. The 'I want to top guys' stuff was hard for him to say. It was half-arsed and he seemed embarrassed saying it.

You're looking at it. He's an OK fighter but nothing spectacular. He will always be fringe top 10 up or down a couple. USADA ruined him.

The Rockhold fight should have been stopped sooner. One of the more vicious and prolonged beat downs I've seen. That kind of shite can change a man.


and maybe usada too
