Next fight of Chris Weidman is not determined yet.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman doesn't hide his surprise at the fact that former kickboxer Alex Pereira managed to win two titles in the promotion.
On April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA, the Brazilian made his first defense of the bantamweight division with a brutal knockout of Jamal Hill in the opening round.
"I see a big hole in his style in wrestling, and he hasn't fought wrestlers at all. It's crazy to have such a major weakness based on what we've seen so far. It's like Ben Askren would come into the UFC and become a multi-time champion without striking.
When a puncher looks at Askren, he thinks, "How did this guy become a world champion?". He won titles in Bellator and ONE. He had an incredible career in MMA, but no striking at all. Alex is the complete opposite. I'd say he's as bad at wrestling as Askren is at striking.
And this guy could go down in history as one of the best fighters of all time. It's weird for me to see that. I don't know if it's the matchups or the evolution of the sport," MMA Mania quoted Weidman as saying.
Chris Weidman, former UFC middleweight champion, has stated his desire to fight the likes of former champion Sean Strickland.
"I would love to have a fight with Shawn. I have nothing but respect for Strickland. I think it would be fun. He would help me get over being such a good guy. We could exchange pleasantries with him, have some fun. I would love that fight, and I also like his style. He likes to tire guys out, so I would like to test myself in a fight with a guy like him," - quotes Weidman portal MMAJunkie.
Recall, in his next fight Strickland will meet in the octagon with Paulo Costa.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman said he will not turn down a second fight with Bruno Silva if it is the will of the promotion.
