Weidman is unfortunately old and unable to hang with the elites. He had a good run and still has some interesting fights in him.

Just please stop feeding him to powerful young dudes.

Mixed feelings about this one. Weidman has been doing the pre fight shows in the UFC, so I guess he secure a cool gig to do post retirement.

I think his best days are behind him.

Big Weidaman fan. But that is absurd. I have to assume this is taken out of context or he was asked if he thinks he cld beat him; no fighter would say no. Chris' best days are behind him and I'd love to see him take some fun fights and get a few more dollars before riding off into the sunset.
