Chris Weidman lost for the fifth time in six Octagon appearances at UFC on ESPN 6, prompting many observers — including Dana White — to question whether the former middleweight champion should continue fighting.
“What he said tonight didn’t sound to me like he’s considering retirement,” White said at the UFC on ESPN 6 post-fight press conference. “So it’s a conversation that he and I definitely need to have. This was his move up to light heavyweight, which obviously didn’t go well for him. So maybe he goes back down to middleweight, or thinks about maybe retiring.
