At a career crossroads following three straight stoppage losses, former UFC champion Chris Weidman had his back against the wall in a big way when he met rising No. 8-ranked contender Kelvin Gastelum in the main event of last night’s (Sat., July 22, 2017) UFC on FOX 25 from Uniondale, New York.
With pressure mounting to not only win but also win for his many family and friends in attendance near his hometown of Baldwin, New York, Weidman snapped his streak and delivered one of the most pivotal victories of his decorated UFC career (watch highlights here) by becoming the first man to stop Gastelum in the octagon by submitting the challenger with a relentless onslaught of varied takedowns culminating in a fight-ending arm-triangle choke.
A raucous celebration reverberated throughout the Nassau Coliseum as Weidman celebrated among his Long Island faithful, and the “All-American” took the moment of opportunity to call out UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who actually took his spot in a title fight at UFC 199 in 2016 to shock the world by knocking out Luke Rockhold and winning the belt:
Weidman echoed the belief of many critics of the middleweight division’s direction, as Bisping has only defended his title once – a close decision win to retiring No. 14-ranked legend Dan Henderson nat UFC 204 last year – and has been out 2017 healing from a knee injury while chasing the massive payday of a title bout against Georges St-Pierre.
“The All-American” taunted his British divisional rival by asserting he was the champ despite a 1-3 run in his last four match-ups:
“That British bum who is crying in his freaking house right now: I’m back, baby,” Weidman said. “I’m back. What’s up? Stop hiding from the real men. Let’s go, baby. I’m the champ and everyone knows it.”
Like Weidman, many Bisping skeptics think “The Count” is simply running from the top contenders in arguably one of MMA’s most talented landscapes, especially No. 2 Yoel Romero, who recently lost an interim title fight to Robert Whittaker at July 8’s UFC 213. But no matter what Bisping holds out for, Weidman obviously still has work to do to get a title shot.
That wouldn’t stop Bisping from replying to his callout on Twitter:
Say my name bitch! @ChrisWeidmanUFC
— michael (@bisping) July 23, 2017
Bisping got the trash talk rolling in classic “Count” fashion, but truth be told, the British champ was actually impressed with Weidman’s insistence to keep fighting the best 185-pound fighters in successive bouts despite the tough run.
The two could certainly sell a title fight, but Bisping still seems to be holding out for what would be a much bigger title fight in St-Pierre. And Weidman’s going to need a few more wins despite the extremely strategic callout in a huge spot in New York last night.

Chris Weidman was in an absolute must-win scenario when he met surging young prospect Kelvin Gastelum in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., July 22, 2017) UFC on FOX 25 from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
After all, the former UFC champ had lost his last three fights by finish despite arguably winning the early part of all three, and a fourth, especially in his home base of Long Island as countless New York faithful looked on.
Thankfully for the career path of “The All-American,” Weidman secured a much-needed win when he sent Gastelum down the pecking order with a perfect third-round arm triangle after using his go-to wrestling to dominate Gastelum on the ground. It wasn’t without a tense moment, however, as Gastelum appeared calm and confident as he came back from being taken down to rock Weidman with a huge left in the first round.
It was a shot that the former champion said actually resulted in a flash knockout that allowed him to catch himself before he hit the ground. From there, Weidman actually rocked Gastelum when the 25-year-old rising star came out aggressive in the third round, and parlayed it into a beautiful takedown that resulted in the fight-ending submission. After the fight, Weidman called out middleweight champion Michael Bisping for a championship fight.
He may have some work to do before that becomes a reality. For now, watch the full fight video highlights of Weidman’s crucial win from Long Island, New York here:
