Weidman: 'I can be the best in the world again'

Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman, who hasn't won since August 2020 and will celebrate his 40th birthday in a few months, talked about his mood ahead of his fight against Bruno Silva. Their fight will take place on March 30 at the UFC on ESPN 54 show in Atlantic City, USA.

"I think I keep performing because physically and mentally I feel great. I'm really happy to be back in action, I feel great in training. I know how it sounds and I understand everything, but my coaches think that if I want to, I'll be the best in the world again. And I feel that way too.

In the fight with Silva, I need to perform well. Show the UFC what I'm capable of - Saturday night we'll see how I look. But I feel great," MMA Mania quoted Weidman as saying.
