There came a point in his first fight with then-UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva that Chris Weidman had an epiphany.

It happened early in their main event bout at UFC 162 in July. Silva had launched into a routine best described as playful mockery.

He waved Weidman in. He rolled his eyes at the challenger's attacks. He faked the wobbly legs and lolling head of a wounded fighter, treating Weidman with joyful disdain but little concern.

It wasn't exactly fighting, but it was entertaining.

And that's when something occurred to Weidman, 29, the New Yorker whose Hofstra University wrestling credentials were considered no match for an MMA legend.

"At that point," he says, "it was like, 'Yo, you're doing all this playing around, but you're not hitting me.'"

So Weidman hit Silva — hard — with a perfectly placed left hook that caught the champ as he leaned lazily to one side. Down went Silva. Around Weidman's waist went the UFC middleweight title. The world was shocked.

Well, except for Weidman's coach, Ray Longo, who was mostly relieved.
