There are some things you just can unsee, and this awkwardly hilarious parody video of Chris Weidman spoofing Paige VanZant’s Reebok video is one of them. Throwing his support behind the strawweight star, who came under fire from some fellow fighters and fans for posting what some considered a “provocative” video, Weidman does a spot-on impersonation of the original clip.
He posted the parody to his official Twitter, along with the message “Sometimes you just gotta let out your inner sexy…I got your back” while tagging VanZant.
If you haven’t yet seen the original video VanZant posted (she later removed it), you can find it and our reaction to the clip here.
Chris Weidman (13–3) was last seen fighting at UFC 210, where he suffered a controversial knockout loss to Gegard Mousasi.
Paige VanZant (7–3), meanwhile, was submitted by Michelle Waterson in the main event of UFC on Fox 22 last December.
No word yet on when either will return to the cage.
