It was not a triumphant return to the Octagon for Chris Weidman at UFC 292.
on Saturday night at TD Garden in Boston. Even worse for “The All-American” is that he might have suffered some more serious injuries in the bout.
At Saturday’s post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White cited those injuries while urging Weidman to call it a career. “I love Chris Weidman. I love him. I love his family. I think he should retire,” White said. “We talked to Dr. [Jeff Davidson]. He thinks he blew his ACL, MCL … The guy is just coming back from a gruesome injury and, listen man, Father Time is not our friend at all. But definitely, if you’re a professional athlete. Depending on the damage to the knee, you’re talking another year. So I would say. ‘Chris, I love you. Please, please retire.
"Weidman reached the pinnacle of the sport and did it in spectacular fashion, knocking out the greatest of all time [],” White said. “What now? Why? To come back and feel it one more time. He felt it tonight, and he blew his knee out and he’s going to have to go through crazy surgery again and recover from it. It’s just like, why? You’ve done it all. You’ve accomplished everything that you could hope to accomplish in the UFC.
