Undefeated UFC Middleweight Champ Chris Weidman was on Garbage Time with Katie Nolan to talk about a slew of topics. For instance, did you know he’s very smart, having graduated twice from Hofstra? On the topic of his upcoming opponent, Vitor Belfort and his multiple failed drug tests:
“I can’t control what he’s taking. I just know there’s an insecurity there, obviously, that he’s trying to fill a void. I’m going to find that insecurity when I’m in the cage with him and beat him up.”
Weidman agrees that his nickname “The All-American” is boring, so Nolan offers up a few alternatives:
- Chris “Where the Weidman Things Are” Weidman
- Chris “Weid-Spread Panic” Weidman
- “Ludi” Chris Weidman
- Chris “Weid and Seek” Weidman
Chris also says that his death row meal would be giant bagel bites, and then it’s time to play Punch/Drunk/Love, which is the tame version of F*ck/Marry/Kill. Round one is pretty easy: The Rock, Floyd Mayweather, Ronda Rousey.
Punch: Mayweather
Drunk: Rock
Love: Rousey
Round two is tougher, with Miley Cyrus, Kanye West and Justin Bieber. Chris says he’d like to punch all of them, but eventually makes his choice.
Punch: Bieber
Drunk: Kanye (reluctantly)
Love: Miley
Weidman also appeared on Overtime for some rapid-fire questions, like “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” and “Who is your favorite Ninja Turtle?” For the record, Chris feels that no, a hot dog isn’t a sandwich, and he prefers Michelangelo. Strangely, other than some early Red Hot Chili Peppers-based answers, Katie reveals that Chris has matched her answers on every question. Finally, when asked whose ass he wants to kick, he offers up Bieber again, before realizing he should be focused on Vitor Belfort.
Chris Weidman will attempt to kick Vitor Belfort’s ass at UFC 187 on Saturday, May 23.
