Former UFC Middleweight Champion, Hofstra University graduate and Baldwin native Chris Weidman is back in the Octagon this weekend.
On August 8, Weidman is in the co-main event against Omari Akmedov. Weidman says he doesn't care about proving the haters wrong, but wants to prove something to himself.
The Baldwin native, who was an all-American wrestler at Hofstra and became champion of the world in the UFC is at a crossroads—professionally and personally.
Weidman says he is moving to South Carolina to be with family.
