He KO'd a near 40 year old legend who was clowning around and had been slipping for years, got a win via a freak legbreak, edged a way past-prime Machida on points who was later splattered by Rockhold & Romero, then beat up ancient TRT-less turkeyneck Vitor in a totally pointless fight.
And we were expected to buy the Zuffa hype that this guy was some sort of middleweight Jon Jones, even though he'd only ever fought old strikers that he could take down, even though he was slow, had no kicking game, had a porous defence, and had the cardio of an 80 year old asthmatic.
Much like Tarver came along and beat a declined Roy Jones but was never, ever in Jones's league, Weidman came along and beat a declined Anderson Silva, but was never and will never be in the same league as a guy who won 16 UFC fights straight including 10 title defences.
Chris Weidman vs Jon Jones at 205lbs??? Anyone who ever even uttered the phrase should hang their head in utter shame for such rank stupidity. He just got absolutely DOMINATED and demolished by Rockhold, he's never going to challenge at 205lbs in a million light years.
I hope everyone on this forum who ever tried to foster some sanity and reason regarding Weidman's limited abilites and took a storm of abuse and hate in return, I hope all of us enjoy the feeling of vindication tonight.
Really looking forward to Rockhold vs Romero, coming soon. They will probably dig up another 38 year old striker for Weidman to come back against.
