Overall: 94Striking: 95Grappling: 94 Submissions: 91 Chris Weidman is perhaps best known as the man who ended Anderson Silva's 7-year-reign at the top of the middleweight division with that brutal second round KO. Along with the two wins over the ex-champ, Weidman also owns wins over Mark Munoz and Demian Maia. Weidman is one of a small handful of fighters who are undefeated in their professional MMA career with a record of 11-0 (7-0 UFC) against some of the highest caliber opponents on the planet. The All-American is an extremely well-rounded fighter with 5 of his wins coming by KO or TKO and 3 by way of submission. Weidman is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under former welterweight champion Matt Serra and is a former NCAA Division 1 Wrestler. Weidman will really be tested in his Middleweight title reign as a queue of some of the best fighters is rapidly gathering, waiting for their turn to knock him off the top.
