UFC:s mellanviktsmästare Chris Weidman var nyligen med på ”The MMA Hour”, där han diskuterade näste titelutmanare och jämförde Luke Rockhold och Ronaldo Souza.
Det här hade Weidman att säga:
I would expect a tough fighter, but I’m running right through any of these guys. Rockhold’s well rounded, but he’s not great anywhere. He’s not the best striker I’ve ever fought, he’s not the best jiu-jitsu guy I ever fought. Jacare brings a different element, he’s really good on the ground and he’s probably more dangerous on the feet than Rockhold. Rockhold is well-rounded and keeps a good solid pace going throughout the whole fight. They are two completely different fighters. If I was to say who was more dangerous, it would probably be Jacare, but there are probably more holes in his game than Rockhold.
I don’t really have a preference. Either way I’m going to have to fight these guys at some point, and let them know they have no chance with me. I love their attitudes. I’m, as a competitor, just going to show them the truth. As far as who, it doesn’t really matter. I want big fights, both of them know that. I want big fights, they want big fights.
I want to return as soon as possible. Fighting in May was great, so now I have June, July, I’d like to enjoy the summer a little bit with my family. Other than that, I want to keep on going. I want to separate myself from these guys. Every time you get done with a fight, there’s another guy. That excites me, to let these guys know the truth.
UFC har bokat den 5 december i Madison Square Garden vid en eventuell legalisering av MMA i delstaten. Det är dock svårt att säga om det förslaget kommer att gå igenom.
