Not long ago, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman amused the MMA community with a story about a street fight that he and UFC light heavyweight Gian Villante got into back in the day<\/a>. Apparently, this wasn’t the only street fight the former champ was involved in in his youth.<\/p>\n

On a recent episode of Submission Radio, Chris Weidman detailed yet another skirmish. This time, he and a much smaller training partner took on three guys outside a bar.<\/p>\n

His words:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, of course there\u2019s been times I had to throw some people on their heads.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, there was this one time where I was outside this bar and I was with another small wrestler, he was like a 125-pound\u2019er \u2013 and this was when I was younger. I was like twenty-something, 20, 22 or something, 21. I don\u2019t even know \u2013 and as we were leaving the club, my one friend, the small guy I was with who was like a 125-pound wrestler, he was pretty drunk and I noticed he was surrounded by three bigger kids. They were these kids that played basketball around the neighborhood and they were just making fun of him.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I came over and I was like, ‘hey, what the hell are you guys doing?’ and I kind of like started creating some conversation with them and they basically were like, \u201cwhat the hell do you think you\u2019re gonna do? Blah blah, blah\u201d. We go back and forth, he pushes me. I said, \u201cdon\u2019t touch me again,\u201d he pushes me again. I said, \u201cthat\u2019s it, don\u2019t do that. That\u2019s your last time pushing me\u201d. And when he went to go push me again I just dropped him with a punch. And as I did that, one of his boys came behind me and tried to throw me in a rear-naked choke \u2013 so he was circling around because they were gonna try and jump me. And when he did that I took his arm and I arm threw him. And when I arm threw him over my back, he tried to keep his head up. And so when he tried to keep his head up, his head literally scraped across the concrete and his face literally like, his skin just fell off his face. And he\u2019s screaming on the floor now. And I let go of him, and that kid I dropped with the first punch was starting to get up so I get on top of him and I\u2019m holding him. And the third kid is getting beat up by my 125-pound wrestler. He got double-legged (laughs) and that kid is beating him up. And so the one kid I dropped, I\u2019m on top of him and just holding him there and he\u2019s out of it so I\u2019m like, alright, let me get off. I get off.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
