Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman didn’t play around when describing just how critical his rematch with Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 later this year is.
As you can see from the above message posted by “The All-American” on Twitter, he is taking the fight very seriously.
Weidman, who lost to Rockhold this past December, won the title with a victory over Anderson Silva. He followed that up by proving his win was no fluke, defeating “The Spider” for a second time. Successful title defenses vs. Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort followed before Rockhold rocked him.
