Weidman: ‘I haven’t shown my true self yet’
Chris Weidman: “I haven’t shown my true self or true style yet. I’m excited to be able to do that over time. Experience is the main thing I’m working on.”
Chris Weidman is undefeated in mixed martial arts and has defeated the greatest fighter of all-time…twice. However, Weidman still believes his best is to come:
I feel like it’s been a very long time, but in actuality it hasn’t been that long. But I feel like I’ve been doing this forever, he said. I started in 2009 – that’s when I started training. I’ve had two surgeries where I was out for at least a year, another I was out three or four months, another that had me out three or four months … I’ve only actually been training for two or two and a half years, which is crazy. I’m very new, but it feels like forever.
I have a lot to learn and a lot of things I do in practice that I haven’t been comfortable enough to do in the octagon yet. I haven’t shown my true self or true style yet. I’m excited to be able to do that over time. Experience is the main thing I’m working on.
