“I stress a lot about fighting,” Weidman told USA TODAY Sports in an exclusive interview. “I want to be the best in the world so bad, and I want to always shine and look spectacular. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do that and work hard.
“I thought once I won the belt, I’d kind of have a weight lifted off my shoulder and could relax a little bit. Unfortunately, I can’t do that.”
“No matter what I did, even if I submitted him the first round or knocked him out in the first round, there were going to be people who doubted me,” Weidman said. “I can’t worry about that. I just have to go out and fight him again and try to win.”
“I want to be known as one of the greatest of all time,” Weidman said. “You get there one fight at a time. First up is Anderson Silva again. We’ll go from there. I want to dominate my next fight really bad. Like, completely dominate.”
