Chris Weidman recently responded to a fans question about moving up, responding that he believes he has two more fights at middleweight and then will consider moving up to the lightheavyweight division. Furthermore, when asked about his title defense at UFC 194, the champion said he would likely finish Luke Rockhold within the first three rounds:

“I’ve got to focus on Luke, and the winner of ‘Jacare’ [vs .] Romero,” he said to fans during a recent Periscope question-and-answer session.

“And then after that, we’ll start talking about Jon Jones, and 205, and anyone who is good, up there.”

Not only does the Serra/Longo product believe that he’ll win, he’s also quite sure that he’ll finish the fight inside the distance.

“I’m thinking, first, second, or third,” he predicted.

“I’m thinking that in the first three rounds, it will be finished.”
