Chris Weidman was stopped for the fifth time in his last six fights last night at UFC Boston, and Dana White says he needs to talk about the former champ about the possibility of retirement.

Weidman moved up from middleweight to face rising light-heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes in Saturday’s main event. Early on, Weidman was able to score a takedown, but Reyes got back to his feet. Not long after the latter floored Weidman with a straight left, and finished the fight with hammer fists.

During the post-fight press conference, White was asked about the future of Weidman, and the UFC President said this (quote via MMA Junkie):

“What he said tonight didn’t sound to me like he is considering retirement,” White said. “So it’s a conversation he and I definitely need to have. This was his move up to light heavyweight, which obviously didn’t go well for him. So maybe he goes back down to middleweight or he thinks about maybe retiring.”

The 35-year-old Weidman, who was coming off a knockout loss to “Jacare” Souza last November, now holds a record of 14-5.
