UFC champion Chris Weidman is set to defend his title against Vitor Belfort at UFC 187 and says he has some new magic tricks in his bag.
“My goal every time out is to try and separate myself from the division and make a statement to the world. I like to prove to myself where my abilities are and [see] what my coaches think. I’m ready for this fight to make a statement and I’m looking for a finish.
I’ve been off for awhile and I have been working on a lot of things. I have a lot of new techniques, many new magic tricks to bring to this game. I’m excited and comfortable enough to try them out in the Octagon. I’ve been practicing them a lot in sparring and in training, to bring it to another level, and I want to do it front of millions when a lot’s on the line.”
