Chris Weidman has been sidelined with a thumb injury since beating Kelvin Gastelum over the summer. The former UFC middleweight champion’s schedule hasn’t exactly slowed down, though.
Weidman has been doing quite a bit of television work with MSG Network since the fall. It started with segments on specific shows, including a spot on a hockey program. And it has since grown to “Weidman’s World,” his own interview show where he sits down and hangs out with players from different New York area sports teams.
So far, Weidman says he has played Connect Four and Jenga with players from the New York Rangers and had on-ice competitions with athletes from the New York Islanders.
