"He's just looking to talk some smack, looking to juice up the fight a little bit. But I just fought in July, it doesn't make any sense. It's not like I've been out for a year. We were supposed to fight in July, and he's the one that had to pull out of the fight because he failed a drug test. So this guy is failing drug tests and he has the audacity, the balls to talk junk about me not fighting, and he hasn't fought since November. What if he gets the belt, what's going to happen there? So it makes no sense, what he said about me. I just laughed it off. But to be honest with you, at this point, I'm going to have a lot of fun with him. I am going to go in there and embarrass him. This is not going to be a close fight. I am going to completely embarrass him in that cage. I am going to make him look like an old man who withered away. I am going to embarrass him now. This just gave me more of a reason to embarrass him. It doesn't affect me too much, it just gives me a little nudge. It makes it easier for me to talk [trash]. In my mind, I always wanted to embarrass him, now I'm saying it. I want to completely toy with him. I want to beat him up standing, throw him on his butt, smack him a couple of times when he's on the ground. Make him almost tap, then let go of it, let him stand up, beat him up on the feet, then take him down again. Just completely make a mockery of him."

-Chris Weidman responds to Vitor Belfort's recent comments about his injury delay in an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour (transcribed by MMAMania.com).

Penick's Analysis: This one's going to heat up a bit. Belfort's comments have touched a nerve, and the Champ plans to respond in cage once they get there early next year. I'm not sure if this is Weidman being too emotional, but he's a smart fighter who isn't likely to take Belfort lightly even as he tries to accomplish what he says he will here. It's entirely possible he follows through, as well. We have no idea what we're going to get out of Belfort off of TRT, and if it's a much lesser version of himself, Weidman's going to wipe the floor with him.
