Quote by -Chris Weidman
I watch something in the gym, try to do it and may not get it. When I go home that night and my wife is talking to me and I'm not answering her, it is because I'm visualizing that thing I'm working on. I'll do that all day long. Before I go to bed I'm still thinking about it, and that happens until I can see myself doing it.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I'm open-minded and never think I know everything. I actually feel like I know nothing, and that allows me to learn on a different level.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
There's always going to be people talking so you just have to focus everyday and be the best fighter you can be in the Octagon on the day of the fight.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
As I got older, I lived right next next to the Long Island Railroad, so in junior high and high school I'd just jump on the train with friends and head to the city. We'd run away from the conductors, hide from them in the bathroom. It was just what you did.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
There's only so much you can control when you're fighting, so the things you can control - like your fight song - are pretty important. So you want to pick that wisely.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I feel like anyone at middleweight, when I have a full training camp, I'm going to go out there and finish them. That's my mentality.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I've never had anything. I just wanted to one day live comfortable. Like, be able to go out to lunch with my friends without being like, crap, I don't know if I can afford this bill right now. I shouldn't be doing this. That's all I really wanted.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
We bought a dog, and we financed it - a $1,400 dog. We had no money, so me and my wife had to put our names together with our credit just to finance a dog.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I expect the worst of every situation, so if it does happen I'm prepared for it.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
When I started and first got to the MMA gym the guys would start and say, 'You're like the All-American kid.' It was because, I don't know, I go to church every Sunday, I got married young and I've always been an All-American in college having gone All-American all four years.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I really like Cain Velasquez. I like his pace that he puts on; he is mentally and physically breaking everybody he goes with. He's just tenacious and relentless. I like Anderson Silva, too. I like his style. He's very relaxed.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
My ultimate goal was always that I want to be known as one of the greatest of all time. The first step was obviously to be UFC champion.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I struggle just like everybody else struggles. It's always a struggle in life to overcome temptation. I just try and get through it. No one is perfect.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
There's times where you get the loud, crazy comments from me, and there's times where I say basic things, and stay quiet because I don't want to cause any drama. Sometimes I'm in the mood where I'm just going to tell it how it is, and have fun. And whoever doesn't like it, OK.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I think there's times where I'm introverted, and there's times where I'm extroverted.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Getting hit is part of the job. You don't want the first time you're getting punched to be in the fight because there's a lot of shock and awe and you won't react well. I like to get hit in sparring. I don't want to get concussed, or I don't want to be getting knocked out, but I want some shock treatment to prepare me for the fight.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Any time you're banged up, your body hurts, you don't really feel like going to the gym. That's when I feel like you really have to push through it. That's when you really make the leaps and bounds in your game. So, pushing through those days is never easy, but that's what gets you good.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I like to compete. So, any time I get to go live - which means go all out - that's what I like to do.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
The thing about mixed martial arts is you have to know every single martial art in the world or you're at a disadvantage. So, there's so much to learn. I have to know wrestling. I have to know kick boxing. I have to know boxing. I have to know karate.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I've beaten Anderson twice, then Lyoto Machida and now Belfort. I'll be proud to have taken down three all-time legends in a row.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Being the guy that ended the run of the greatest fighter ever will always be attached to my name.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Rankings don't mean much to me but I'm working towards being the pound-for-pound best in everyone's mind.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I have a Gracie background and a Matt Serra background so I've always used jiu-jitsu but it takes a while to reach black belt level.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
When I was at 205, it was kind of weird eating whatever I want and not getting trimmed and not really being disciplined with my diet. It was kind of weird.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
From the very beginning, every time I trained for a fight, I didn't train to beat the guy I was fighting. I trained to beat Anderson Silva.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I grew up in a rough neighborhood, so I fought a lot. Even when I was wrestling, if I lost a match, I always thought, That guy would never beat me in a fight.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I was living out on Long Island in Baldwin, New York when Hurricane Sandy hit. With the storm surge, the whole first floor of our house was under about three feet of water. We lost a lot of valuable stuff - sentimental stuff like pictures and Christmas ornaments. Nobody expected flooding that bad.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I remember watching Anderson Silva fight Dan Henderson at UFC 82. I had never really watched MMA, but I looked up to Dan Henderson. He was a wrestler, like me, but also a tough, powerful mixed martial artist.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Keeping my focus on what's important - inside the Octagon and out - is never lost on me.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, some good old-fashioned wrestling and plenty of cardio. You name it, it's part of my routine.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
I wanna get myself in such good shape that no matter how much I push myself in a fight, I know that the other guy is gonna be a little bit more tired.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
Training is my life. It's all I've known since I was in second grade, when I started wrestling.
Quote by -Chris Weidman
You're always trying to feel confident and to feel good about yourself, but what it comes down to is really giving up to someone else. Having faith.
