Chris Weidman Finishes Mark Munoz With A Vicious Elbow (GIF)

Last night I had my dreams of a seeing another Filipino World champion crushed after ‘The Filipino Wrecking Machine’ Mark Munoz suffered a brutal second round stoppage at the hands of Chris Weidman. To Weidman’s credit, the elbow was creative and devastating, making him an excellent candidate to challenge Anderson Silva next for the UFC title.
