Chris Weidman weighs up retirement ahead of Bruno Silva clash at UFC Atlantic City: ‘This could be my last fight’

Former undisputed middleweight champion, Chris Weidman claims his upcoming UFC Atlantic City fight against Brazilian contender, Bruno Silva could come as his final bout in his storied mixed martial arts career, following his return from a catastrophic leg injury in his comeback against Brad Tavares at UFC 292 last August.

Weidman, a former undisputed middleweight titleholder, is slated to make his return to the Octagon at UFC Atlantic City at the end of March, taking on the aforenoted, Silva in his return.

Snapping a two-year-plus sidelining back in August against Tavares in his second consecutive loss, Weidman had dropped a 17-second TKO loss to Uriah Hall in the pair’s rematch, suffering a gruesome compound fracture of his right tibia and fibula.
