Chris Weidman on Winning in Sparring

Chris Weidman is a mild-mannered, polite, and respectful UFC middleweight champion, but he's highly competitive; which is one of the reasons why he's been able to reach the top of the mountain in mixed martial arts at 185. On ESPN's Highly Questionable with Dan Le Batard and Bomani Jones, Weidman explains how having a competitive nature in sparring translates into competing in the UFC Octagon:

In sparring I might have lost a round or two, but very rarely...I try to win every single freakin' round of every sparring session, I don't care who I'm going against. I'm very competitive and I know that translates into when you're in the Octagon performing.
