Christopher James Weidman (born June 17, 1984) is an American former professional mixed martial artist and UFC Hall of Famer. He competed in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is a former UFC Middleweight Champion.
An accomplished amateur wrestler, Weidman was a two-time NJCAA All-American and a two-time NCAA Division I All-American during his collegiate career. He began his mixed martial arts career in 2008, and joined the UFC in 2011, soon amassing a 9–0 record. In 2013, Weidman came to worldwide prominence by defeating Anderson Silva to win the UFC Middleweight Championship. This ended Silva's 16-fight winning streak inside the UFC and his seven-year reign as the champion. Weidman retained the title for two and a half years, defending it three times.

First there was the ''underground'' press of the 1960's. In the 70's, it became known as the ''alternative'' press. Most of the publications on display last week at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, and the conversation about them, suggest that the phenomenon is now comfortable as a tributary of mainstream journalism. ''There's not too much room for 'hip' anymore,'' said Dan Pulcrano, 25 years old, the editor, publisher and owner of The Los Gatos Weekly, whose circulation is 15,000.

With Walter F. Mondale the apparent victor in the campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination, American labor leaders say their decision to give him an early endorsement has been vindicated. They say the labor movement has a right and responsibility to engage in political campaigns, and that, while unions cannot order members how to vote or ''deliver'' large blocks of voters, labor's political strength has been reaffirmed. ''The record is now clear,'' Lane Kirkland, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, said recently. ''Where our members were fully informed and turned out in substantial numbers, they chose Walter Mondale, and they made a difference.'' ''Without the A.F.L. and the union work,'' says Robert D. Squier, a Democratic political consultant, ''there is no question that Hart would be the nominee.''

Governor Cuomo has told the Army that New York State would help build housing and roads in Watertown in Jefferson County to accommodate a light infantry division at nearby Fort Drum. The authorization for the 11,000-soldier division - part of the Central Command, formerly known as the Rapid Deployment Force - has been approved by the House of Representatives, and it is expected to win Senate approval. The Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting hearings to determine whether to place all or part of the division at Fort Drum or four other installations across the country.

The Reagan Administration remains divided on how to respond to a Soviet proposal to ban antisatellite weapons, officials said today. They said there was virtually no prospect for beginning discussions on the subject before the November elections. The weight of opinion in the Administration, the officials said, remains skeptical that any kind of prohibition of these arms can be verified. But in response to what officials described as political pressures, consideration is being given to discussing a limited ban on some systems and exchanging information and pledges of noninterference.

Though President Reagan wouldn't agree, Congress would do him a service by ending his anomalous overt covert war against Nicaragua. From its inception in 1981, this operation has affronted principle and sense. Yet for a variety of reasons, Congress has been unwilling to deny funds to anti-leftist rebels harassing a hostile Marxist regime. It's worth reviewing those reasons.

The Soviet Union has moved ahead of the United States in numbers of nuclear warheads, according to a new Defense Department estimate. Obtained by advocates of arms control, the estimate indicates that the Soviet Union has about 34,000 nuclear warheads for its bombers, long-range and medium-range missiles, artillery and cruise missiles. The United States, by comparison, has 26,000 warheads. The new estimate, prepared under the auspices of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Atomic Affairs, Richard L. Wagner, shows that the Soviet Union overtook the United States in nuclear warheads more than five years ago.

A Defense Department plan to spend $600 million over five years to develop a new generation of computer-based military systems has become the focus of a debate among a number of senior computer scientists. Carrying out the plan, according to its sponsor, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, would ''provide the United States with important new methods of defense against massed forces in the future.'' The agency further contends that as the results of the research become dispersed throughout society, they would give the American people ''a significantly improved capability to handle complex tasks and to codify, mechanize and propagate their knowledge'' while at the same time improving the ability of industrial, political and military leaders to ''manage large enterprises, even in times of stress.'' Criticism of the plan, which was put forth last fall, has been varied. Some scientists have objected to the immediate goals of the project itself, contending that the aims cannot be achieved and, indeed, that the project will substantially increase the chances of war.

Normally Jane Landenberger, who is married and has four grown children, leads a reasonably quiet life in suburban Bedford, N.Y. And then she received an erroneous phone bill of $109,504.86 in March and became a central figure in news reports around the world. In some unexplained way, her phone credit-card number had been widely circulated to phone cheats.

After a seesawing turn of events in which Diana Ross and her production company first promised and then appeared to renege on a donation for a new children's playground in Central Park, the entertainer told Mayor Koch in January that she was making $250,000 available out of her own pocket. Originally the money was to have come from the proceeds of a film of Miss Ross's free concert in the park last summer, but her company said that because the concert had to be restaged after being rained out, there were no profits. According to news reports on Jan. 19, Miss Ross gave the Mayor a check for $250,000. Park officials said the playground would be built at 81st Street and Central Park West and should be open to the public by the spring of 1985.
