Chris Weidman’s net worth in 2021 is $3 million. This is according to numerous reputable outlets, including Celebrity net worth.

Weidman has been a professional mixed martial arts fighter since 2009, but he started out at Baldwin Senior High School on Long Island where he was the Nassau County and New York State wrestling champion.

He then went to Nassau Community College where he was a two-time All-American and the first junior college wrestler in history to be an NYS College Champion. He then joined Hofstra University to make a jump to Division I.

Chris Weidman was a two-time NCAA Division I All-American at Hofstra. He placed 7th in his junior year and third in his senior year at the NCAA championships. He later became a wrestling instructor for the university.

Weidman made his professional MMA debut under the Serra-Longo Fight Team at Ring of Combat 23 in February 2009. He faced Reuben Lopes at the middleweight division and he quickly disposed of Lopes via submission in the first round.

On September 24, 2010, Chris Weidman defeated Uriah Hall via TKO at Ring of Combat 31 for the Ring of Combat Middleweight title. He successfully defended his title against Valdir Araujo at Ring of Combat 33.

During this time, Weidman was highly-touted as one of the best blue-chip middleweight prospects ever. He received numerous contract offers by various organizations, but he elected to wait for the UFC to offer him one — which he quickly accepted.

After signing with the UFC, Weidman made his debut at UFC Live: Sanchez vs Kampmann on March 3, 2011. He was chosen as a replacement for the injured Rafael Natal to face Alessio Sakara. Despite only having two weeks’ notice, Weidman accepted the fight and won via unanimous decision.

Weidman won his first Submission of the Night award in his 2nd match in the UFC when he went against Jesse Bongfeldt at UFC 131. He finished the opposition off via a standing guillotine choke at the end of the first round.

On July 11, 2012, Weidman faced Mark Muñoz at UFC on Fuel TV: Muñoz vs Weidman. He dominated Muñoz throughout the first round and eventually finished the fight in the 2nd round via TKO after a counter elbow that knocked Muñoz down. Weidman earned the Knockout of the Night honors.

After the fight, Weidman expressed his desire to face Anderson Silva for the UFC Middleweight title. Unfortunately, he was out for a year due to injury.

Finally, the Weidman vs Silva was announced to take place at UFC 162 on July 6, 2013. The challenger entered the fight as the underdog, but many pundits predicted that Weidman will upset Silva.

Anderson Silva taunted and mocked Weidman throughout the fight until he caught him with a left hook which knocked down the champion. Weidman continued with solid punches to the ground until he was declared the victor.

Chris Weidman’s win gave Anderson Silva his first loss in the UFC and ended his seven-year, seventeen-fight undefeated streak. On top of that, Weidman was awarded the Knockout of the Night honors and was awarded by MMA website Sherdog with the 2013 Knockout of the Year award.

On December 28, 2013, Weidman defended his title against Silva in a rematch at UFC 168. This time around, there was no showboating on Silva’s side in comparison to their first match up.

Silva started to throw his signature low kicks in the 2nd round. Weidman checked with his left knee, and the check snapped Silva’s left leg upon contact. This led to Herb Dean stopping the fight and declaring Weidman the winner.

Weidman successfully defended the UFC Middleweight Championship against Lyoto Machida at UFC 175 and Vitor Belfort at UFC 187.

At UFC 194, Weidman faced Luke Rockhold to defend his title. Unfortunately, Rockhold emerged victorious via a TKO victory in the 4th round. This marks Weidman’s first loss in his career after 13 straight wins.

In September 2016, Weidman signed a new six-fight contract with the UFC. However, he lost his next two matches. Fortunately, he picked up his first win since losing his title when he faced Kevin Gastelum at UFC on Fox 25.

In 2019, Weidman moved up to the Light Heavyweight division and made his debut against Dominick Reyes at UFC on ESPN 6. He lost the fight via knockout in the 1st round.

In his return to middleweight, Weidman got the unanimous decision victory over Omari Akhmedov at UFC Fight Night 174. He was then scheduled to face Uriah Hall once again, this time at UFC 261 on April 24, 2021.

In an ironic turn of events, Weidman broke his right leg after his heavy outside low kick attempt which Uriah Hall checked with his left knee. Herb Dean immediately stepped up and stopped the fight as he declared Hall the winner.

The injury was eerily similar to what happened to Anderson Silva during their 2nd match. SIlva immediately shared a post via Instagram to wish for a speedy recovery for Weidman.

Aside from Silva, Weidman’s injuries drew multiple reactions from Conor McGregor and other UFC stars.

According to Tapology, Chris Weidman has earned $2,077,000 in his career.

He is currently recovering from the gruesome injury and it is still unknown if the 37-year-old will step foot inside the octagon again. As of now, we will all have to wait and see and wish Chris Weidman a speedy recovery.
