So, I think that\u2019s really I take it to him. But no one\u2019s been able to do that yet. He\u2019s done a great job, he adjusts really well in there.

Weidman says that he thrives in these sorts of situations, and he wants to do the same thing to Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing the guy that shocks the world, not once but twice, against what people think are the greatest of all time, and against someone that most people think can\u2019t even be beaten.
