Click here to get tickets to Fight Night Long Island: Weidman vs Gastelum Throughout their UFC careers, Gian Villante and Chris Weidman have always been in each other’s corner. While there have been instances where they weren’t literally present, shouting instructions and encouragement from beyond the Octagon fence, they have always been there in spirit and definitely spent the build up to their respective bouts logging time in the gym and helping the other decompress and stay loose in the days leading up to fight night. Though Weidman arrived on the biggest stage in the sport two years sooner than his fellow Hofstra alum, they’ve spent the last four years and change on the UFC roster together, but the close friends and teammates have never fought on the same card until this Saturday.
Villante refuses to be boring, will put on a show in Long Island
