Former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris♊ Weidman is preparing to face Gegard Mousasi next month at UFC 21♚0.
Michael Bisping is the current UFC Middleweight 💦Champion and Weidman feels he has fought😼 tougher opposition than the champ has.
“I went through the top of the top,” Weidman said to . “I went against Anderson Silva twice, who at that point was debatably still in the prime of his career, had never lost [in the UFC]. The fight before me he beat the crap out of Stephan Bonnar. He didn’t look like he was slowing down at all. I beat him twice. Then I get Lyoto Machida, who was on a big winning streak and was the light heavyweight champ and everybody thought was going to be the middleweight champ. He looked unbeatable at middleweight. Then Vitor Belfort, who was on a four-fight winning streak, all knockouts. Then I had Rockhold. Then, this is some set up he’s got going on as the belt holder.”
Bisping will be defending his gold against former UFC Welterweiꦓght Champion Ge🐟orges St. Pierre later this year. Weidman will even go as far as saying that Bisping has a different kind of gold.
“Listen, Bisping’s got the golden horseshoe up his ass as champion,” Weidman said. “This guy, I gave him the opportunity to fight for the belt and he made the most of it. He pulled the punch out and knocked out [Luke] Rockhold and became champion and since then he’s fought the No. 14 ranked guy and then a guy that’s on a three-year long layoff. This one he’s going to make some good money on, so God bless him and his family but man, look at the guys I was fighting when I was champion.”
UFC 210 takes place on Saturday, April 8 from the KeyဣBank Center in Buffalo, New York with Daniel 𓂃Cormier and Anthony Johnson headlining.
