Congratulations to Long Islander, Chris Weidman, UFC middle weight on his victory last night.  Chris was born in Baldwin and is a Hofstra alumni.  Weidman's knockout victory over a very tough Mark Munoz was his fifth straight victory in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).  Chris has a very promising future in the UFC!
