Former UFC Champion Chris Weidman Announces Retirement

Former UFC middleweight champion, American mixed martial artist Chris Weidman has made a decision to retire from professional fighting.

Chris Weidman
Since I decided to get into this sport, since 2009, the goal was to be a UFC fighter. Then immediately, the goal was to be a UFC champion. 14 years later, I’m here to tell you that I’m hanging up the gloves in the UFC. I no longer am going to be fighting in the organization that changed my life in so many ways.

Weidman last fought against Eryk Anders in December 2024 at UFC 310. In that match, which was stopped in the second round, Chris lost by technical knockout. His mixed martial arts record includes 16 wins and eight losses.
