Among the millions of people affected by Hurricane Sandy were UFC fighter Chris Weidman and his family.
According to Ryan Bader, who is managed by Dave Martin and the Martin Advisory Group along with Weidman, the middleweight contender “lost his home” during the storm. Bader tweeted the unfortunate news Tuesday afternoon. The Weidmans live on Long Island, N.Y.
The last time MMAFighting.com spoke to Weidman was Monday morning as he was preparing to evacuate his wife and two children. And while he later provided a few updates on Twitter and Facebook, he hasn’t posted anything since Monday afternoon.
Martin confirmed with MMAFighting.com that Weidman’s house was hit “pretty bad” but did not know the extent of the damages. He said he spoke to Weidman Tuesday morning but their conversation was cut short, and he has been unable to reach out to him since.
As of Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of thousands of Long Island homes were without power.
