Returning to the victory with the victory over Omari Akhmedov last August, Chris Weidman continued to win the championship ticket and said that his fighting could overcome the current king of Middleweight – Israel Adesanya.
“Looking at the match between Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz, I can clearly see how useless a strong boxer when I was excavated on the floor,” Weidman said.
“This glove has strengthened my hope, but there are still many things to do. I still have to fight with Uriah Hall and do not expect to be confronted with Adesanya soon.”
But it seems that Chris Weidman is very confident that he will become the most scary opponent Israel Adesanya encountered.
“As soon as I have the opportunity, I will prove it to everyone,” Weidman said.
At the same press conference before UFC 261, Chris Weidman did not deny that he would lose if he clashed with Yoel Romero, because the power and wrestling platform was this American boxer. As for Adesanya, Weidman could excavate him on the floor and control the match as the way Blachowicz did.
Although quite confident about the ability to defeat Adesanya, but with the current achievement, Weidman needs to win at least 2 more victories to be considered by the UFC Organizing Committee to consider the right to compete for the championship. The most important thing is that he has to defeat Urial Hall at UFC 261 event taking place this weekend at Vystar Veterans Memorial Stadium, Florida (USA).
