Though Weidman is just 33, his obvious physical decrease has been surprisingly steep. A couple of decades back, he was the middleweight champ and 13-0. Moving into this Saturday, he’s been knocked out in three straight fights – and every one of those KO/TKOs were brutal.
It’s not that he has looked bad – Weidman was aggressive against Rockhold, Romero and Mousasi before caught with strikes. But”The All-American” appears to have reached his fighting peak – and it drops just below the elite level.
Weidman may get takedowns, but he can’t do much damage from the very best. He can strike, but he’s not great enough to stand for five rounds against men the very best standup fighters. As he has been rocked in three consecutive fights and we have to question his chin.
