Chris Weidman: 'I want to make a mockery of Vitor Belfort'

It isn't much of a surprise that UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman found Vitor Belfort's recent trash talk as delusional as we did. Belfort said recently that the UFC should have created an interim title for a case like Weidman (who forced a postponement from Dec. to Feb. of a title fight between he and Belfort, because of a broken hand suffered in training camp).

Usually, fighters have to be projected to be out of action for at least a year for talks of interim titles being issued. Weidman last fought a few months ago, in July.

Belfort has not fought since Nov. 2013. Weidman was not impressed with the logic of "The Phenom."

"It doesn't make any sense, it's not like I've been out for a year," Weidman told MMA Fighting this week.

"This guy hasn't fought since November. And I was actually, we were supposed to fight. We were lined up to fight in July. And he had to pull out of the fight. And you know why he had to pull out of the fight? He failed a drug test. So this guy is failing drug tests and he has the audacity, he has the balls to start talking junk? About me not fighting. He hasn't fought since November. So what if he gets the belt? So what happens with that? He just makes no sense. That's the bottom line."

All this has left the usually calm and monotone Weidman riled up to not just fight and beat Belfort, but to embarrass him. "I want to completely toy with him," Weidman continued.

"I want to toy with him. I want to beat him up standing, I want to toss him on his butt. Smack him in his mouth a couple times while he's on the ground. Maybe go for a submission, make him almost tap, and let go of it, let him stand up, beat him up on the feet, take him down again, just completely just make a mockery of him."
