Chris Weidman won the chance to face the Brazilian Anderson Silva for the UFC middleweight belt (up to 84 kg.). But the 28-year-old American hopes to be more than a challenger for the “Spider” title.
In an interview with the North American website MMA Fighting, Weidman guarantees that he will seek a knockout or submission against the greatest champion in the history of Ultimate.
“I'm very motivated to do my best and not just be another challenger. Every time I had complete preparation, I managed to knock out or submit. And I intend to continue that. I'm going to face the best fighter of all time, but that won't change my confidence. I'm very excited,” said the American, who is undefeated in MMA with nine victories.
The fight between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman will be the main attraction of UFC 162, an event that is scheduled to take place on July 6, in Las Vegas, in the United States. In addition to “Spider”, three other Brazilians are confirmed on the show. Check out what the card is like so far:
Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman
Mark Muñoz vs. Tim Boetsch
Rafael Feijão vs. Thiago Silva
Roger gracie vs. Tim Kennedy
