Weidman says he was only at '10 to 20 percent' in Rockhold fight

The former UFC middleweight champion says he wasn't close to being 100 percent against Luke Rockhold at UFC 194.

While Chris Weidman engaged with Luke Rockhold in a very competitive fight at UFC 194, "The All-American" was beaten to a bloody pulp in the fourth round. Weidman stood toe-to-toe with Rockhold for the majority of the bout but things took a turn for the worse when the 31-year-old missed a spinning back kick in the third round. His opponent capitalized on the mistake and overwhelmed him with a barrage of ground and pound from full mount.
