BOSTON – Dana White has rarely been more definitive in calling for a fighter’s retirement than Chris Weidman after his UFC 292 loss.
Weidman (15-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) suffered a unanimous decision loss to Brad Tavares (20-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) in their middleweight bout on Saturday at TD Garden. It was his first fight after suffering a horrific leg break in April 2021, and although it was a commendable feat to get back in the octagon after such a difficult recovery, the UFC president thinks the performance signified the end – especially since more injuries were seemingly sustained.
