In an interview with Submission Radio, Weidman spoke about dethroning Jon Jones, how it compares to the Anderson Silva upset and not being particularly impressed with Jones’ performances lately.
“He’s the guy I’m gunning for”
When asked about facing Jon Jones and how it compares to his big upset over Anderson Silva years ago, Weidman said:
Weidman said that it doesn’t matter which division, he’s comfortable against whoever he is inside the Octagon.
While Weidman does hope that a win over Dominick Reyes will set him up for a fight against Jones, he isn’t sure just yet. Weidman even admitted that he hasn’t been very impressed with Jones lately and his lack of finishing his fights, even stating: “he’s great, but I see there’s definitely holes in there.”
He did praise Jones’ ability to adapt to adversity during fights but believes that he has what it takes to beat him.
