In an interview with the program 'MMA Hour', Weidman ignored the bad phase and placed himself as the best in the 84 kg division. “When I stop and think, I realize that I am the best in the world and I have the ability to dominate everyone in my field. division. I really believe that. I feel like I have the mental and physical strength to be the best in my category,” said the former middleweight champion.
Weidman, 33 years old, despite the achievements achieved in his career, still considers himself young and with a long way to go in his career. “I have achieved a lot, but I am still young in my MMA career. There are still great things to happen. I'm not at the point where I'm going to start looking back and think, 'If I wasn't hurt, things would be different.' I feel blessed for where I've gotten to in the sport. I am blessed for everything I have achieved and the skills I have” he concluded.
Weidman has not fought since July 2017, when he submitted Kelvin Gastelum. After that, he had to undergo further surgery on his hand to cure a problem with his thumb. He has no idea when he will return to the UFC.
