Former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman stated that he is not parting with the desire to regain the title.
“I had to go through a lot, and now I’m not returning to have one fight and end there. I have serious plans. I want to show a dominating performance in the upcoming fight and then again in November to fight in New York. I will just go up in the rankings and get a title shot.
I like champion Israel Adesanya. My goal is to get to the fight with him. It won't be easy, but I will be disciplined and work hard to get there," Weidman was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
