UFC 187: Chris Weidman ready to show off 'new magic tricks' with finish over Vitor Belfort

Tricks "All American" believes will give him a statement finish over the Brazilian.

Despite the numerous doubters who are quick to dismiss some of Chris Weidman's victories -- namely his two wins over Anderson Silva -- "All American" has seemingly gotten better each fight.

After swiftly defeating the aforementioned "Spider" to claim and defend the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight title in consecutive bouts, Chris went the distance with former light heavyweight kingpin, Lyoto Machida, at UFC 175 last July in one of the most entertaining fights of the year.

As he heads into his much-anticipated (and often delayed) title defense against another former champion, Vitor Belfort, at UFC 187 on May 23 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Chris intends to whip out some new tricks and show the mixed martial arts (MMA) world he's always evolving.
