Despite being 1-5 in his last six fights, and losing his last two bouts by way of knockout, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman has no intention of hanging up the gloves anytime soon.
In fact, the Serra-Longo product would like a rematch with Luke Rockhold who, like Weidman, has struggled to find his groove since losing the middleweight title to Michael Bisping back in 2016.
With both men on similar career trajectories, Weidman believes the timing would be perfect for a rematch, but only after ‘All-American’ has accepted a tune-up fight first.
“Rockhold, I’d like to fight him but not this next fight, I’ll take a tune-up fight,” Weidman said on a recent edition of the MMA and Beyond podcast (h/t Abhinav Kini of The Body Lock MMA).
