Like many other fighters, however, he’s been asked to weigh in on the night’s headlining bout. He predicts Chris Weidman will upset Anderson Silva in the main event UFC middleweight title bout that night. “Gotta go with the East Coast boy Weidman. He’s the whole package,” said Edgar when asked about the match-up on Wednesday during a live chat on UFC.com . The undefeated Weidman (9-0) is a two-time Division I All-American in wrestling.  He’s also a brown belt in jiu-jitsu under Renzo Gracie black belt and former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra . “Anderson has fought good wrestlers, but Chris has got great jiu-jitsu and a solid stand-up game as well,” said Edgar

Adkins this past month snapped a three-fight skid with a win on the East Coast regional circuit. He trains out of Team Balance in Philadelphia. Brenneman, whose primary gym is AMA Fight Club in Whippany, N.J., recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that his UFC release prompted some soul searching that led to his decision to drop weight.  “People ragged on me all the time for not finishing fights,” he said. “What I’ve realized is part of the reason I wasn’t finishing fights was because these guys were so big that all of my effort went into controlling them. Whereas I’ve fought these guys at 155, and granted, they’re not UFC guys, it’s been a lot easier to finish them.” At 170 pounds, Brenneman went an even 4-4 in the octagon, while he’s finished both of his opponents at lightweight. The dietary requirements of making 155 pounds are not unfamiliar to Brenneman, who said his years as a collegiate wrestler helped prepare him for the demands of shedding weight.  Still, he said, the process “always stinks.” Cage Fury Fighting Championships 25 can be purchased via online pay-per-view on the promotion’s website.  Brenneman recently helped another former welterweight prepare for his biggest fight at lightweight.
