Chris Weidman Announces Middleweight Return, Predicts Reyes KOs Jones

Chris Weidman

Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is returning to his former championship weight class.

Weidman, who has been struggling inside the Octagon as of late, comes off a failed debut at light heavyweight last year. “The All American” was welcomed to the division by Dominick Reyes, who is now challenging for the 205-pound title tomorrow night (Sat. February 8, 2020). Reyes knocked Weidman out cold in the first round in dominant fashion.

Now, the ex-185-pound king has lost five of his last six fights, all by way of knockout or TKO. He hasn’t won since July of 2017 when he submitted Kelvin Gastelum, a fight he was badly rocked in early on. Taking to Instagram, Weidman has announced his intentions to return to middleweight, and is working to get a fight booked around April.

“I’ve been through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in my fight career. I really love what I do, and I believe I still have some great moments ahead of me! Can’t wait to shut up all the haters!

“To all the people that have supported me through the ups and the downs, I appreciate it more than you know. I am more motivated than ever and I know the future is bright. Hopefully getting a fight booked around April back in the MW division!”

On Twitter, Weidman offered his thoughts on tomorrow’s UFC 247 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which is headlined by a light heavyweight championship match between defending champion Jon Jones and Reyes. Weidman is picking Reyes, the man who last defeated him, to pull off what would be one of the biggest upsets in mixed martial arts (MMA) history, and knock Jones out to take the strap.

“I got Reyes winning by KO.”

UFC 247 Staff Predictions

UFC 247 will go down tomorrow (Sat. February 8, 2020) from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans will witness yet another defense of the light heavyweight championship by Jon Jones, who takes on undefeated challenger Dominick Reyes.

It will be the first UFC title bout of 2020. We here at LowKickMMA have compiled our UFC 247 staff predictions for the Jones vs. Reyes main event. Check them out below.

UFC 247 Staff Predictions

Jon Fuentes:

Dominick Reyes has all the tools to beat Jon Jones. He’ll be short in the reach department – as all Jones’ opponents are – but he matches Jones in height, brings knockout power to the table, and has a gas tank to go all five rounds. With that being said, Jones is overall the better mixed martial artist. He has superior striking, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. Not to say Reyes doesn’t have the chance to land that one big punch, but I don’t see it happening. I got Jones winning this with a lopsided decision, or finishing the fight late. (Prediction: Jon Jones)

Abhinav Kini:

At the risk of looking silly, I’m going to go with Dominick Reyes. He has the size, length, and knockout power to challenge Jones, and the way everyone is overlooking him so easily, along with the last two performances of Jones, I think we could be in store for a huge upset. (Prediction: Dominick Reyes)

Jordan Ellis

As with every Jon Jones fight, I’m favoring the light heavyweight king to pick up the win. Dominick Reyes has an undefeated record and knockout power. However, nothing I’ve seen from him suggests he’s the man to beat Jones. I expect the champion to dictate the fight from the first bell and take it wherever he wants to. Most likely Jones will take home a decision win. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get the finish late on. (Prediction: Jon Jones)

Timmy Moran:

Dominick Reyes carries the dangerous confidence of an undefeated fighter going into his title bout with Jon Jones. Despite his winning streak, powerful left hand, and athleticism, it’ll be tough to top Jones while he remains active and in his prime. Expect Jones to utilize his length and distance control and force Reyes into traps. Reyes’ inexperience and eagerness will work against him as Jones stops him prior to championship rounds. (Prediction: Jon Jones)
