Daniel Cormier offers Chris Weidman $1000 for every Madden touchdown he gets

It looks like Chris Weidman has the chance to make some serious money this week. Not just because he’s fighting Jacare Souza on Saturday, in the co-main event of UFC 230, but he’s got another battle set for this Friday, right after the weigh ins.

Captured on camera, by the assembled media following their open workouts, Daniel Cormier and Chris Weidman got into a friendly disagreement over scheduling and an opportunity to test each man’s gaming prowess. What had been set as a Madden showdown on Thursday ended up rescheduled for Friday, after weigh-ins. That’s when DC has promised to show up at Chris Weidman’s door with a whole bunch of water, and a copy of the long running EA sports NFL videogame.
