Weidman is reportedly set for his commentary debut.
The former
Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight titleholder looks
set to make his commentary debut on
Week 5 of
Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10.
Chris Weidman reportedly joins Laura Sanko and Dan Hellie for
DWCS Week 5
Since he retired from mixed martial arts, Weidman has worked
extensively as a desk analyst for UFC events. He’s been a fixture
on pre-fight weigh-in shows and his profile further grew with the
popularity of Paramount’s “Deep Waters” podcast, where he discusses
combat sports news alongside Dustin
Poirier, Jorge
Masvidal and Din
Thomas.
According to MMA Junkie, Weidman will join Laura Sanko
and play-by-play announcer Dan Hellie in the three-person booth for
the five-fight card at Meta Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 8.
Weidman, 42, last competed in December 2024, suffering a
second-round TKO loss to Eryk Anders.
The UFC Hall of Famer finished his MMA career with a 16-8 record,
going 12-8 in the UFC. He famously ended Anderson
Silva’s historic 16-fight win streak in the UFC, a record that
was recently broken by welterweight champ Islam
Makhachev.
