Chris Weidman is looking to make his return to fighting this year.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman has remained out of action since his last outing against Uriah Hall at UFC 261. Weidman snapped his shin just 17 seconds into the opening round. The horrific leg injury kept him on the sidelines for over a year following the incident in April 2021.
Now, a return seems closer than ever.
In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Chris Weidman talked about how the last 15 months were for him in recovery. He expanded on the ESPN documentary that will come out later to show what he went through to make his comeback.
“Pretty damn sucky, it’s been very hard,” Weidman said. “Lots of ups and downs, a lot of issues and it just sucks I can’t put too much out there because I’m doing a documentary with ESPN, they’re doing an E60.
“So, they have the rights to everything, I can’t put out like me training or if I had really low spots where I had to get additional surgeries. I can’t put anything out there because they have the rights to it but it’s going to help them be able to tell the story in a great way.
“They’re going to market it as the worst injury of all time and coming back from that because once you guys all find out what I’ve had to go through over these last 15 months, it’s been a lot. I’m excited for them to be able to tell that story finally, and I’m excited to come back and shock the world.
“I’m hoping this year, yeah.”
“The All-American” revealed that he will corner Anthony Smith in his upcoming bout with Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 277 on July 30 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
“July 30th, I’m actually cornering Anthony Smith. I don’t think I told anybody that yet. He’s been coming down to South Carolina to train with me and help him get ready. He’s got that title eliminator fight with Ankalaev so I’m excited to try to get him ready for that.”

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Peña thinks that Amanda Nunes hasn’t fully accepted her submission loss from UFC 269.
Fresh off coaching The Ultimate Fighter Season 30, Peña did an interview with MMA Mania and discussed her upcoming rematch with the current UFC women’s featherweight champion. While the 32-year-old acknowledged that she’s expecting “the best Amanda Nunes we’ve ever seen” in July, Peña isn’t impressed with how Nunes has handled the result of their first fight.
“It’s offensive. She literally doesn’t believe that it happened,” Peña said. “She doesn’t want to admit that it happened. She wants to make every single excuse that she can so that she can tell herself and sleep at night, that that’s not the reality of what happened. So it can get her up in the morning, so that she can go and perform the next time and the next go around. So, she doesn’t believe that it happened. She’s not accepting it.”
“The Venezuelan Vixen” upset Nunes at UFC 269 to claim the women’s bantamweight title. While Nunes remained a UFC champion due to her also holding the women’s featherweight belt, the loss was notable given that the Brazilian was considered the top pound-for-pound female fighter in the sport.
Whatever Nunes may think about their first fight, Peña knows she backed up her own words in that bout and fully intends to do the same in the rematch.
“It’s offensive because I did everything that I said I was gonna do. I said I was gonna do this, and then I went out and I did it and you’re still not accepting it. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, this belt is mine. So come and get it. You want this? You want me to drop my swords? Come and take ‘em. I’m ready.”
Peña will defend her bantamweight title for the first time against Nunes in the main event of UFC 277.
What do you think of Peña’s claim that Nunes is in denial about the result of their first fight?
