What separates a good fighter from a great one? The good ones are content with what they’ve accomplished, while the great ones have an unquenchable thirst to always achieve more.
UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (pictured) is strictly focused on being great. In fact, even with just two straight title defenses to his credit, he’s already talking legacy - a word only a handful of mixed martial artists could appropriately use without ridicule.
However, when you sit atop the mountain with an unblemished 12-0 resume and you’re the only man to finish off Anderson Silva on two consecutive occasions, perhaps the L-word isn’t completely out off limits.
