Chris Weidman reveals shocking fact about fight with Luke Rockhold
In the co-main event of UFC 194 Chris Weidman suffered the first defeat of his professional career at the hands of Luke Rockhold.
Rockhold seemed to control the fight from the opening bell, and ultimately scored a 4th round TKO win to claim the UFC middleweight championship.
Since then the UFC has announced that the pair will have their rematch at UFC 199 in June.
In the wake of that announcement Chris Weidman revealed that he had a broken foot in the first fight which required surgery.
Jamie Stuart broke the news:
