UFC fighter provided details of what he went through after recently being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Speaking to Submission Radio (h/t TMZ Sports) Wednesday, Weidman said the "first couple of days definitely sucked pretty bad."

Weidman also noted that he "lost 12 pounds" because he couldn't eat properly:

"For about three days I had a fever, body aches, bad headache, and it just kind of sucked. And, then after that, I just kind of felt tired. ... I also lost 12 pounds. I was eating soups and stuff. My appetite wasn’t that great and I ended up losing 12 pounds throughout the process.
