Weidman: I’ll never get respect from doubters

Ariel Helwani: Do you think you will finally get that respect now?

Chris Weidman: No, probably not.

Ariel Helwani: Do you want that respect now?

Chris Weidman: I’m never gonna get it.

Ariel Helwani: Why not?

Chris Weidman: Well first of all, your always going to have doubters out there. So it’s one of those things where if that’s your motivation to proved doubters wrong, it’s an uphill battle. You’re never really gonna do it. For the people that are supporting me, I appreciate it, and I’m going to keep try to prove them right.
