Who should Chris Weidman fight next?

[svmr_db]

Weidman had the opportunity to go out on top (despite the controversy of the eye pokes etc) last night in the very city he started his MMA career in back in 2009. However Weidman has said he plans to keep fighting. Who should he fight next?

UFC isn't gonna hand him "easy fights" but they could give him ones that are somewhat winnable like they did with Bruno Silva or they could put him against fighters who are likely to finish & make a name off him, which direction do you think they should go?

 

[Khaosan]

No one.

Ever.

Put him in with Edmen. Edmen might crumble him in the first, but if he survives he could get a nice highlight finish and ride into the sunset.

Good suggestion, I like it. It's a winnable fight for Chris if he gets his wrestling going & Shahbazyan gasses out as usual.

Josh emmett !

Give him Tony Feguson. Tony wouldnt have to even cut.

 

[Jackonfire]

I know a guy

Should have retired 5 fights ago.

That double eye poke combo was so revolutionary. I want to see this innovator back in the octagon again. Give him the Anderson Silva trilogy. He does good against Silvas.

Someone who eye pokes him multiple times. Watching Weidman break his leg like Silva did after he talked all that crap was good but he needs another humbling.

We’ve seen him quit before in there but I’d like to see him get TKO’ed by eye pokes and retired for his post fight behavior, for karmas sake.

Josh emmett !

Good choice.

 

[Streeter]

Could have left gloves in cage he started in an gone out in a good way. Huge mistake

 

[J'Ghasta]

I dont get why people are still clamoring for Chris to retire after that performance. He still looked like an elite fighter to me.

 

[Ares Black]

Bruno Silva

i like how BKFC is up as an option. chris would get absolutely destroyed there. wrecked to the highest degree.
i would like to see him end up there. just bleed.

 

[Neck&Neck]

They should run it back cuz bro got hosed with those assault rifle pokes

Chris made 500k last night so I can understand why he wouldn't retire. The right way is to use his name to put somebody else over.

Michel Pereira, Ikram Aliskerov, Joe Pyfer, or Shara would be my picks. Of course Bo Nickal would work too.

 

[Georges Hefner]

 

[JoeRowe]

Bo Nickal, IFW

Yeah since he won't take the storybook ending of sorts he was offered last night the UFC should serve him up to somebody like those guys. Pereira & Aliskerov are way too explosive for Chris though lol they would probably nuke him within 2 minutes.
