Chris Weidman doesn't seem too afraid of meeting Vitor Belfort at UFC 187, especially when his jiu-jitsu teacher, Renzo Gracie, says his ground skills are "beautiful".
Just 20 days shy of his title defense against Vitor Belfort, Chris Weidman was awarded his Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt by teachers Matt Serra and Renzo Gracie. And as far as Gracie is concerned, the champion should have nothing to fear if the fight happens to hit the mat.
"Chris is so tough right now. His Jiu-Jitsu is beautiful". Gracie told Revista Combate at his gym in New York right when Chris was awarded the new belt.
