After Chris Weidman’s smashing defeat of Vitor Belfort on Saturday night, only one fight makes sense. Luke Rockhold, the former Strikeforce middleweight champion, is in the middle of a four-fight winning streak. After losing to Belfort (the old TRT-fueled version, not the mortal one) in May 2013, Rockhold has scored wins over Costas Philippou, Tim […]

There’s no denying Chris Weidman his glory anymore. His resume is simply too elegant and entrancing to dismiss the excellence he’s portrayed inside of the Octagon since his debut in 2011. Victories over Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and most recently Vitor Belfort have given Weidman enough firepower in future discussions regarding the pound-for-pound best fighter […]

A couple of opponents make sense as the next challenger to Chris Weidman‘s UFC middleweight title. The champ isn’t expressing a preference on who he fights. The “where,” however, is another matter. Following his title defense Saturday against Vitor Belfort at UFC 187, the fighter born and raised in Long Island, New York, said he […]

For far too long, Chris Weidman has been treated like a placeholder atop the middleweight division. Being the successor of arguably the greatest fighter in MMA history will do that to you. Professional wrestling great “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair always said, “To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man”—a feat Weidman accomplished twice. We […]

Since his disposal of Anderson Silva twice, Long Island’s own Chris Weidman has been on a mission to prove he is the real deal. With a victory over former UFC light heavyweight kingpin Lyoto Machida back at UFC 175, the undefeated titleholder was on the right track to validating his current worth in the sport. […]
