The Chris....

[Benoitthegr8]

I’m going to wait until his next performance until saying he’s completely done. It could have possibly just been nerves, anxiety, or fear, having a mental block can really make anyone look brutal... reference most of Conor McGregor’s opponents, Aldo, Alvarez, Cerrone, guys who are used to being in main event fights, but looked uncharacteristically lost in the cage. Usually a drop off due to age is more gradual, his fight with Souza where he looked great was only 18 months ago. On a positive note, he was able to take some big shots from Akhmedov who’s 8 UFC wins are half by KO/TKO. That in itself is a good takeaway from the performance the other night, obviously not the getting blasted in the head repeatedly part....LoL. His wrestling still seems on point, and does his top control. His gas tank was never great, getting his body worked early and going 10 months between fights, plus neck surgery earlier this year probably contributed to his shit conditioning... Maybe I’m being optimistic and definitely performing mental gymnastics to rationalize how he could’ve looked so poor without been completely done. The Chris has always come across as a good dude and solid family man... I’d hate to see his livelihood prematurely taken, besides who doesn’t appreciate a good redemption story about a veteran who hits a wall of adversity and beats the odds. Guys who were on the downside and put it together for that brief period to achieve the ultimate goal...Robbie Lawler first comes to mind, as does RDA who was a good fighter that fit in the journeyman catagory. RDA had a 20-7 record and never looked like a world beater before putting it all together for a brief period and won the LW title. While I highly doubt that Weidman has enough time or gas in the tank to face the monsters in the top 5 needed to make another title run, I’m hoping that he’s able to pull it together and at least go out on a positive note, not being the victim of Highlight reel KO’s as his last few loses have showcased.

Anderson arguably won against Bisping. Anderson originally won against Diaz.

Weidman would have been KO'd by DC, Ko'd by Aesayna.

Arguably? He clearly lost that fight and his best moment was when Bisping wasn’t even paying attention.

He roided against a WW. He basically lost

Weidman would have beaten that Bisping by the way.

Anderson would have been destroyed by Mousasi, Romero, Reyes, Jacare, Rockhold

LOL Sure Weidman would have beaten that Bisping ... Weidman lost to Mousasi who was stylistically a super easy match up for Pre USADA Weidman.

You seem to believe that Pre and Post USADA Weidman are one and the same. LMAO.

Perrichet is a known GSP fan & Silva hater... I wouldn't try to talk common sense to him.

The fact he "forgot" to mention that from all his losses, one was injury and all the rest decisions shows all you need to know about the neutrality of his arguments.

 

[Lawrence]

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

Agreed.... That fight was a masterpiece... Really by both warriors.

People accuse The Chris of being overrated, or lucky because of the weirdness of the Anderson victories... But Weidman had a great run.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Weidman barely made it out of that fight after sitting on that guy for half of those rounds.

Hopefully his team is smart enough to go for another top 10-15 opponent.

 

[Doughie99]

I cannot see Chris comtinuing beyond another 6 to 12months.

He's really, honestly, likely to lose 2 out of his next 3 fights (if he goes on that long).

When it's your time...... it's your time.

Some God of Martial Arts is tapping Chris on the shoulder again and again and whispering in this ear..... "Come on man...let's go....step this way....it's just your time...."

Chris keeps pretending he cannot hear.....

 

[mudrubble]

He aged faster and worst than Silva.

Silva at 45 would kick this Weidmans butt.

With a mfking metal leg, yes he would....

 

[electricfuneral]

Chris spent a ton of time in his prime trying to bully rockhold when he should have been trying to head hunt.

 

[AtlSteel]

“It feels good. I feel like I’m restarting my career and I’m really grateful to have that opportunity. I feel refreshed and renewed. I’m super excited about the future.”

Restarting his career. Isn't that exciting. Another Chris Weidman career. Yay.

Comparing Mousasi to Bisping is just embarrassing. LOL/LMAO worthy

Anderson has O N E win in 7 years and that was a robbery. He literally quit from a inside leg kick recently. He hasn’t been the same since Chris destroyed him

 

[Xoleth]

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

Weidman 2-5 since

Also many, many surgeries and top prospects
People forget this
He lost to Romero, Moose, Reyes, Jacare and Rockhold.
All top fighters

You are right .. Bisping can actually stop a takedown while Mousasi can't.

And yet Weidman lost to him LOL.

Bisping has one eye LOL

Imagine Anderson against Romero, Rockhold, Mousasi, Reyes, Jacare LOL

Nearly beat GSP too lol.

GSP was gassing hard. But take pride he still manage to win his cherry picked fight.

Lay off the crack

What does GSP have to do with anything anyway? He cherry picked a guy Anderson couldn’t beat. Levels

 

[Starman]

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.

He wasn’t overrated, you’re just butthurt.

Chris was a great fighter at his peak. As is the case with many athletes, especially in combat sports, his peak was relatively short.

Retards look at fighters like Fedor, GSP, Roy Jones, and Bernard Hopkins, and assume longevity is the norm, when the opposite is true. Are you a retard or just a butthurt Silva fanboy?

Yea they are top notch, but Chris isnt, he's right below elite/top notch. His wins over Silva, Machida and Vitor were after there elite years, Maia is his best win. But there is nothing wrong with being the next tier lower.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Waste of talent. He could've really tested some of these younger fighters had he taken the right fights and preserved his chin. Respect his hustle though. No easy fights at all.

 

[kalabula]

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

I rewatched that the other day. Dude was a killer in his prime.
