Christopher James Weidman

Chris Weidman is an American athlete competing in the Octagon in the direction of mixed martial arts. Now he is a middleweight wrestler. The young man collaborates with MMA and UFC. Fans also know him under the pseudonym All-American.

Chris Weidman was born on June 17, 1984, in Baldwin, The American City of America. The boy became the second child in the family. Along with his older brother from a young age, Chris was interested in wrestling as a sport. His successes quickly became noticeable.

As a schoolboy, the boy won the title of state champion, and also received a similar title in Nassau County, defending his right to status in the direction of freestyle wrestling. Experts named Weidman among the most promising fighters in Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling in the United States of America.

Chris didn't give up his passion when he went to college. While studying at Hofstra University, Weidman became the first junior representative to win the title of champion in the state. The young man also showed success in his studies. He received a bachelor's degree in psychology, completing his studies at the university.

At university, Chris met Gabriel Tobirio, who invited a promising athlete to the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy as a mentor. After three months of training, the guy won The East Coast Grappler's and Absolute Division, holding the advantage in 13 fights. He then enrolled in graduate school at his native university, and the mentor's work together with his studies prevented him from continuing his independent development in jiu-jitsu. However, the guy got a black belt in the sport.

The dream of the young wrestler at that moment was to perform at the Olympics. The athlete failed to enter the national team. He was faced with a choice: continue training or go to MMA. Weidman chose the second and got into the ray Longo academy, where mixed martial arts were studied. Chris qualified for the ADCC competition and was able to claim the title in fights. However, Andre Galvao won the quarter-finals, and the youngster had to postpone the celebration of the star hour.

In 2009, Weidman competed in Combat. In the middle weight category, his opponent was Reubem Lopez. Chris emerged victorious and, in a duel with Mike Stewart two months later, also snatched victory. Fortune smiled at the athlete in a fight with Uraya Hall. The title of ROC champion went to Chris after the competition with Valdir Araujo.

The young athlete attracted the attention of the UFC. The fighter was offered cooperation. The debut performance took place in 2011. His opponent was Alessio Sakara, who, despite the injury, defeated Weidman. In subsequent Octagon appearances, Chris fought Jesse Bogfeldt, Tom Lawler, Damian Maya and Mark Munoz. In competitions with listed rivals, the fighter was the winner. The injury and the experience of Hurricane Sandy did not allow Weidman to enter the ring against Tim Boeche.

The man needed a break for rehabilitation, but in 2013 he faced a new opponent. It turned out to be Anderson Silva. The victory went to the American, who snatched the middleweight title from Silva. The fight interrupted 7 years of Anderson's triumph and made Weidman the only one who defeated Silva by knockout in MMA appearances.

Subsequent scrums foreshadowed performances against Vitor Belfort and his replacement Lioto Machida. Chris Weidman was unable to enter the fight because he had suffered a long-standing injury to both knees. The fight with Machida was postponed, but this did not prevent Weidman from defeating the enemy. In the future, the fight with Belfort was repeatedly postponed due to Chris' injuries, but the competition still took place in the spring of 2015. The attack was serious. The All-American managed to defeat the opponent by TKO.

Fortune turned her back on the fighter in the winter of the same year in a fight with Luke Rockhold. The victory went to the opponent, and Weidman survived the first major defeat of his career. Herniated intervertebral disc did not allow the fighter to enter the ring in the second fight. In 2016, Chris was due to be in the ring in a rematch with Rockhold, but had to withdraw from the fight due to injury. That year, the title went to the athlete who came on as a substitute, Michael Bisping.

This was followed by a concession to Joel Romero, who emerged victorious. In 2017, Chris Weidman entered the Octagon in a duel with Gegard Mousasi. Two sparkling blows of the opponent brought the athlete out of balance. A technical knockout brought victory to Musashi.

Weidman's loss was widely discussed by the public and athletes. Some tried to convict the fighter in a pre-planned course in relation to the enemy. Musashi's strike could be interpreted as forbidden, so it seemed that Weidman had a chance to win by disqualifying the sparring partner.

Chris Weidman is a happy father of 3 children and an exemplary family man. He has known his wife Marivi since he was a young man. She is the sister of his best friend. Starting the relationship as students, the young people no longer parted.

For a fighter, family is important. His personal Instagram account regularly posts photos of his wife and children. The personal life of the athlete turned out well, and in an interview he says that, despite all the difficulties of family life, they are connected with his wife true love.

Among the many Chris Weidman was affected by Hurricane Sandy, which hit the United States in 2012. The man knew firsthand what hardships his compatriots had to face, so in partnership with the non-profit organization "Staten Strong" actively helped to restore residential buildings.

Chris Weidman's biography in 2018 continues to be built on implementation in sports. The fight, which took place between him and Jacare Souza, gathered hundreds of thousands of curious fans.

Before the fight, there were rumors that the winner of the fight could become a reserve fighter in the subsequent championship fight between Jodie Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum. Despite the great will to win, the athlete failed to defeat Souza. The fighter congratulated the opponent and thanked his supporters with a post on Instagram.

A series of four defeats in five fights, held before November 2018, motivated Weidman. Now he is actively training and regularly goes to the Octagon with opponents representing the elite of the middle division. Confidence that major awards are yet to come does not leave the athlete.
