ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Many people thought Chris Weidman was done after his last fight, but the former UFC champion is back in action and believes there’s more to come from his MMA career.
This Saturday, Weidman (15-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) returns to the octagon against Bruno Silva (23-10 MMA, 4-4 UFC) on the main card of UFC on ESPN 54, which takes place at Boardwalk Hall. The 39-year-old is still searching for his first win since suffering his nasty leg break in 2021. Weidman made a return from injury last August and was defeated by Brad Tavares in a unanimous decision.
After the loss to Tavares, Weidman considered retiring amid criticism surrounding the state of his career and his 2-7 record in his last nine fights.
