| Former undisputed middleweight champion, Chris Weidman, is gearing up for his upcoming fight against Brazilian contender, Bruno Silva at UFC Atlantic City. However, this fight could potentially be Weidman’s last in his storied mixed martial arts career. Weidman recently made a comeback from a catastrophic leg injury he suffered in his last fight against Brad Tavares at UFC 292 in August. |
| Weidman, who previously held the middleweight title, is determined to make a strong return to the Octagon. After a two-year hiatus, he suffered a 17-second TKO loss to Uriah Hall in their rematch, resulting in a gruesome compound fracture of his right tibia and fibula. |
| In a recent interview with Daniel Cormier, Weidman expressed uncertainty about his future in the sport. He explained, "I’m setting myself up for the future, and I wasn’t sure. I was kind of listening to my body and trying to get healthy. Mentally and motivational-wise, and technique-wise, I still think I’m at the top of the world, but my body’s just taking a beating. This could be my last fight. I’m going to make that decision throughout the training camp and see how I feel. If my body can handle a hard training camp again, and it might be the last one, it might not be." |
| Weidman rose to fame in 2013 when he shocked the world by defeating Anderson Silva for the middleweight title. He went on to successfully defend his title against Silva in a rematch and faced other notable fighters like Vitor Belfort and Chris Weidman. |
| As Weidman prepares for his fight against Silva, fans and fellow fighters are left wondering if this will indeed be the end of an era for the former champion. Will Chris Weidman retire after UFC Atlantic City? Only time will tell. |
