Chris Weidman: Ufc mw champion

Varmaankin aika laittaa uudesta mestarista oma ketju pystyyn.

Chris Weidman (born June 17, 1984) is an American mixed martial artist currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he is the current UFC Middleweight Champion. He is ranked as the #1 middleweight in the world by Sherdog[2] as well as the #5 pound-for-pound fighter by ESPN.[3] Undefeated in mixed martial arts, he is also known as the first man to knock out former UFC champion Anderson Silva in MMA competition. The defeat ended Silva's 17 fight undefeated streak which stretched from 2006–2013.

Alunperin painija taustaltaan joka sittemmin lisännyt työkalupakkiin maailmanluokan jutsun ennätysajassa ja pystyosaamisen josta nähtiin ainutlaatuinen taidonnäyte viimeisimmässä ottelussa. Hallitsevan mestarin pitäessä käsiä alhaalla mahdollisen alasviennin takia käytti Weidman mahdollisuuden hyväkseen ja tyrmäsi tylysti vastustajansa kylmäksi. Weidman loistaa jokaisella osa-alueella kiistattomasti keskisarjan kärjessä, heikkouksia ei vielä ole nähty eikä Chris ole ollut vaikeuksissa vielä yhdessäkään ottelusssa ufc:ssa.

Isompia aukkoja en näe Weidmanin pelissä vaan pakko myöntää että vastaavan taitotason omaavaa mw mestaria ei olla vielä koskaan nähty. Weidman kuuluu ehdottomasti "new breed fighters" ryhmään joka hallitsee pystyottelun, painin ja bjj:n suvereenisti. Entiseen mestariin Anderson Silvaan verrattuna Weidmanilla on ehdottomasti parempi paini ja mattopeli, mutta niiden lisäksi All-American peittosi vanhan mestarin pystyssä missä hänen piti olla altavastaaja ja joidenkin asiantuntijoiden mukaan täysin aseeton.

Talent

Weidman is clearly one of the quickest learners in the sport, outpaced by only light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones. A stud wrestler, Weidman adapted his game to jiu-jitsu so fast that he shocked many people at ADCC. After a points victory, Weidman faced one of the best jiu-jitsu practitioners ever and two-time Mundials champion, Andre Galvao.

While Weidman lost to the Brazilian, he managed to land multiple takedowns and threaten with chokes. Additionally, he wasn't submitted, which is incredibly impressive for a new purple belt going against such a phenomenal black belt.

Even if Weidman hasn't picked up striking as quickly as jiu-jitsu, he's still shown an aptitude for it. Knocking out a powerful kickboxer like Uriah Hall in his third fight is quite impressive, as is demolishing Munoz so effortlessly with a rarely seen technique. Weidman may only have nine professional fights, but he's one of the most complete fighters in the division and is still evolving.
