After such career ending injuries, Anderson's longevity should be appreciated much more. Gonna be interesting to see what Weidman does this time. And I hope Conor's comeback won't be a disaster either if he even returns this year...
Honestly I feel he displayed some great heart and will to win his last fight and he had his moments. I know it sounds weird but I think he can bounce back, maybe not but I just got that feeling.
I hear ppl compare Conor’s leg break to Chris’s and just heard Chael and D.C. say it the other day.. I’m not saying Conor’s wasn’t bad or wasn’t terrible but they’re night and day two different things and Chris has been thru hell and back several times. I wish him the best
It was a competitive fight but I definitely winced every time Tavares kicked that leg. Man has nothing to prove anymore. Quality of life is the top priority at this point.
Makes you wonder how many other times he didnt watch tape on his opponents ( I get & understand FIGHTERS not wanting to watch Tape ) but his COACHES have ZERO EXCUSES for not watching tape for each & every opponent... it's literally what they get paid to do is , GAMELAN & train their fighter accordingly... Craziness.
Why couldn’t the Unified Rules of MMA adopt a 1/2 point deduction for “unintentional groin-shot/s eye pokes” and full point deduction for “intentional” ones?
I tried giving Weidman the benefit of the doubt here but once again he said "I feel like I have what it takes to be the best in the world" making me cringe like always. At what point does belief become delusion? Weidman is way over the hill and wasn't going to climb back to the top before the leg break. This makes me root against him. How many reality checks does one person need? He's a nice guy too but come on.
I think its something fighters tell themselves to be in good spirits. Its like asking every guy in the top 10 do they think they can become champ. All of them will say yes.
While I agree with you, every fighter is delusional, they have to be. You can't be a logical level headed thinker and become a world champion, because when they start on the amateur scene and in regional pro promotions, the idea that they'll become a UFC champion one day is delusional. Their loved ones and coaches have to save them from themselves, if Chris loses this one by finish, I guarantee you his dad, and Ray Longo will convince him to retire.
Based on his claim with these snake oil pills haha I put $170 on Chris! Not exactly the win we were hoping for but still looked good. Thanks for the helpful content.
Weidman is a true warrior and legend, "30 operations in" bruh i have 5 behind me and i feel done with walking not talking about fighting the elite of the elite...
@thelovacluka he beat silva at age 37 then loyoto at age 36 then Vitor at 37. He only beat guys who were past their prime then when he fought a guy in his prime he lost (rockhold) . You can also see a change in his body after usada came into picture .strange he couldn't win after usada. Sorry bro. Facts
Wait nobody told Chris his career is over? Man it sucks he thinks he doesn't need to make people care again. Like he thinks he is 2 fights from a title and it's really telling. Not gonna watch another BJ Penn suck for 10 years Go do celebrity boxing or something bruh. Its just sad at this point
He is 2 fights from a title, IMAGINE Chris KO's Silva on Saturday then calls out Paulo Costa & runs through him. If that was to happen he 100% could call out DDP & get that fight. ( do I think he wins against Costa ? Probably not ) ANYTHING is possible NOBODY on earth thought Weidman was going to snap his Leg kicking Uriah Hall.

I legitimately felt sad watching him against Tavares last year, please just retire! It's over bro
As a huge Weidman fan, I agree.
Honestly I feel he displayed some great heart and will to win his last fight and he had his moments. I know it sounds weird but I think he can bounce back, maybe not but I just got that feeling.
It's about the payday at this point for him so if he wants to keep making money for his family who are we to say anything?
@@milkyway6508 no way

They actually aren’t night and day two different things.. they’re both tib/fib clean breaks. Chris just has complications after surgery
Always nice hearing from Chris. One of the good dudes in the sport.
It was a competitive fight but I definitely winced every time Tavares kicked that leg. Man has nothing to prove anymore. Quality of life is the top priority at this point.
Get Weidman back on the sauce
No kizzy
I love Chris and his whole family. They are good people 🙏
Legend 🙌
Bro he shilled those pills so much lol. I look at the ingredients. It's snakeoil.
I tried them. I was dead. Not just pain and inflammation. I'm now living my best life! It really works!!!
I was a ghost for 23 years, haunting it up, you know… then these pills came along and I became a literal angel. Commenting this from heaven.
the classic “I’m not a salesman, I’m just trying to help people” lol
Selling them for $90 and says he has 'no margin'. The manufacturing costs on that would be approx $5-7 a bag, probably lower. Insane.
*mpmd has entered the chat*
Dude, my guy just won the fight by eye pokes
dude straight up 1 2 combo eyepoked the guy after already eye poking him. insane. dude will do w/e it takes to win ;p
still my boi
Legend
Watch all these fighters foreheads grow double in size after usada leaves …
What does USADA leaving have to do with them getting smarter? Performance enhancing drugs make you more athletic. NOT more smarter.
So he went into the first fight after such a horrific injury with "nearly no game plan"? Wtf what kind of half assed coach would allow that
Makes you wonder how many other times he didnt watch tape on his opponents ( I get & understand FIGHTERS not wanting to watch Tape ) but his COACHES have ZERO EXCUSES for not watching tape for each & every opponent... it's literally what they get paid to do is , GAMELAN & train their fighter accordingly...

30 surgeries in 👀 . Wut. I wasnt but i may fade

Silly Chris doesn't know it's actually impossible to out victim Ariel 😂
WHERES THE PILL link
170??? Oh no
Was it a joke with 170 pounds? Or does he really go down?
@@oddadder5530 no clue, I hope it was a joke.
It was a stupid joke Ariel does nothing but make stupid jokes instead of do his one job
@@user-jc4ib9nk4uyet your still giving him views 😂
Idk if I’ll ever get over his leg break
Defensive Ariel victim! He was just ball busting
He did well against Tavares all considering, I hope he retires after this one.
No tf he didn't lol
@@CassieStone-wr4bg i basically meant he made it out without re injuring that leg lol
@@capcomfan82 Um that's not what you said whatsoever nor could that have implied that lol
@@CassieStone-wr4bg thats what all considering means u dope
i hope weidman gives mcgregor tips for the leg coming back
The cream? like balco
Silva is not a good fight for Weidman at this stage of his career.
Is there any reason to NOT bet the farm on Bruno Silva to win by KO/TKO? I love Weidman but at this point it seems like a lock
Yes, he should back down. 🎶 Yes, he should back down. 🎶
Chris needs to chill out and stay at 185 because he's going to get first round KOd at 170
Always rooting for Chris, but at 39, it’s time to let go.

what r u talking about he's on his prime just like tony ferguson smh
No one in his camp, including him, truly believes that… he’s just self-motivating by keeping a delusionally positive mindset.

Cris EyeMan
lmao all his opponent has to do is drop some legs kicks and its gg
I love Chris but I feel like ufc is feeding these dudes to him and trying to hurt him and make him retire.
Bro...stop fighting.
Did yall 2 used to date whats going on here?
I missed the name of the pills?
Ariel is wack he probably knew Chris was goin to 170 and started with that very weird
Eye poke king 🤴 #1, eye poke combos 🤮
What are the pills called?
He’s always talking about ashwaganda idk if it’s for sure those but he’s given them to his friends.
This is a copy & paste pattern of every fighter on his way out.
He said the same stuff b4 last fight. "I feel great" "im ready to make a run" "great camp" then gets rekt.
he was a champ who defended the belt many times. shut up
@thelovacluka he beat silva at age 37 then loyoto at age 36 then Vitor at 37. He only beat guys who were past their prime then when he fought a guy in his prime he lost (rockhold) .

265+grandprix: Hafthor Bjornsson, Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Jerrell Miller, Mijain Lopez, Martyn Ford, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Amir Aliakbari...
What a cheap victory, how many eye pokes can you take, Weidman should be ashamed of himself, he's no champion, he's a has-been
Ariel interviews are horrible couldn’t even watch 5 minutes and I love Chris Weidman.
sad that he turned into a mlm snack oil salesmen
Absolutely delusional
bro looks 60
??
he looks exactly his age
you are probably a teenager :D
Wait nobody told Chris his career is over? Man it sucks he thinks he doesn't need to make people care again.
Like he thinks he is 2 fights from a title and it's really telling.
Not gonna watch another BJ Penn suck for 10 years
Go do celebrity boxing or something bruh. Its just sad at this point
You typed all this just to hate on a guy making money for his family
@@charlescharlemagne4907 “when your run is over, just admit when it's at its end”
