Who has he really beat? He beat old washed up Brazilians in Silva, Machida, and Belfort then proceeded to go on a 3 fight losing streak against good fighters in their prime. He had to break that losing streak against a Welterweight that dropped him and would've finished him had there been at least 15 seconds left in the first round.

Chris Weidman will go on to lost to any Top 10 MW assuming they aren't old with a foot halfway out the door or a Welterweight forced to go up to Middleweight. Also the dumb excuse that "Gastelum was big enough for Kennedy and Belfort" is dumb. No one at 185 engaged Kelvin in the clinch much or attempted to consistently take him down(where size matters the most) other than Kennedy coming off a 2 year lay off that gassed round 2.
 
Was he ever "good".. are you fucking kidding me? he was the champ. was he ever "good"??? fucks sake.... is he the greatest? not yet. but was he ever good? no man, he really is quite a piss poor fighter..should hang em up and go work at starbucks
 
He's a great fighter. It's just that he touted himself as the next Jon Jones. Better than Jon Jones. Turns out, he isn't. But he's still a great fighter!
 
Good for UFC standards... poor for Sherdog or Saturday night street fighter standards.
 
If he wasnt any good, what does that say about his opponents?

He is a good fighter that also has fought very tough opponents!
 
Chris Weidman is one of the most overrated fighters of all time.
 
Some really retarded people live on this Earth.
 
Even if you want to underrate him and downplay his abilities, he still gave Luke, Romero and Mousasi very tough fights. He'd beat the current champ. Of course he's good.
 
Yes, Weidman was - and he still is - a very good fighter.

(God, Sheepdog is filled with the stupidest fucking people on the planet.)
 
Worst thread I have seen in several days.
 
Nah he's on par with Emmanuel Yarborough
 
He's no Danny Bonaduce, but still a pretty tough guy.

Was Fedor ever good?

Was Randy Couture ever good?

Was Wanderlei Silva ever good?

Was Anderson Silva ever good?

And so on ... until every Sheepdog retard is satisfied that he has made penance to the retard Gods.

Those are impressive wins, and deserved. Not the champ though, he'd beat the current champ but couldn't hold it.

You're comparing legends who consistently beat top opponents in their prime to someone who beat up washed up fighters way out of their prime and a Welterweight.
