Den tidigare mellanviktsmästaren, Chris Wediman, kan tänka sig att fightas i den lätta-tungvikten. Detta är på grund av att han är missnöjd över hur mellanviktsdivisionen ser ut jus nu. Genom Submission Radio förklarade Weidman följande.

Yeah, definitely there has to be a clear picture. Like I said, my goal is to be the champ and there’s no way of me getting to have the belt for two years or more just based on other people taking their time with taking fights. It’s a weird place to be, it’s not interesting. I mean, if 185 doesn’t like, things don’t change, I want to maybe think about possibly going to 205. So we’ll see.

Well, I think it’s a little bit of a thinner division and right now the title picture, I don’t feel like there’s clear contenders, you know? I don’t know how many guys that are up in the top-five that they’re shooting to fight for the title soon. So if there’s a clear picture to a title at 205, then I would consider that. But again, I’m not really putting too much thought into any of this.

Obviously I gotta focus on getting my hand better and staying healthy, and that’s it, man. Let’s see, maybe Bisping or maybe GSP gets injured, I don’t know, and then I’ll be ready to go for November and Bisping won’t be able to scatter away from a guy like me. So that would be something that would work out for me nice for me. I’m in New York, I’m ready to go.

Weidman gick sin senaste match mot Kelvin Gastelum där han kunde vinna matchen genom ”arm-triangle choke” i den tredje ronden.
