Chris Weidman is desperate for a win at UFC Fight Night 174, as the 36-year-old will look to snap his two-fight losing skid when he meets top-twelve-ranked middleweight Omari Akhmedov in the UFC Vegas co-main event.
Weidman is 1-5 in his last six fights and has suffered five brutal stoppage losses at the hands of some of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC.
Several fans have called for Weidman to retire but the former UFC middleweight champion is still confident in his ability to throw down with the best of them.
Akhmedov (20-4-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) is a notable step-down in competition for Weidman but ‘All-American’ will be treating the Russian as a dangerous competitor and knows he needs to get the freaking ‘W’ on Saturday.
