UFC CEO, Dana White, revealed an 86-hour water fast challenge nearing the end of the year of 2023. The Head Honcho has over 8 million followers on his Instagram alone, so it was quite obvious that the challenge was to be received and attempted by loads of people around the world. One such, who seemed to attempt the challenge was none other than former UFC champ Chris Weidman. But did he pull it off?

Weidman has not been back to his former self in the Octagon since the gruesome injury he suffered in his fight against Uriah Hall. This injury could be the reason he believed that the challenge was what his body needed. Either way, Dana White was certainly impressed with the outcome.

Dana White commends Weidman for completing the challenge

Weidman posted some pictures on his Instagram after completing the challenge. He claimed he had been wanting to try the fast for years, especially after all the surgeries he went through in the past. The former champ believed that it would be able to “reset his body”, and what better time than after New Year’s to attempt the challenge?

The UFC CEO certainly liked the changes he saw in Weidman, which led him to leave a comment on the post. He wrote, “BOOOOOOM!!!!! How clear was your mind on day 3? Incredible right?” To which Weidman responded by replying, “@danawhite crazy Clarity!”.

The before and after pictures from the Instagram post certainly showed the transformation Weidman had undergone. Despite feeling hungry and cranky throughout the challenge, Weidman revealed that it was definitely worth trying.

The former middleweight champion is one of the few people who completed the challenge, as it is really hard on the body. There was another former UFC champion who attempted the challenge but had less success than Weidman.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei ‘Pitbull’ Arlovski was also one fighter who took on Dana White’s water fast challenge. However, the former UFC heavyweight champion was not successful in completing the challenge, as he only reached the 36-hour mark.

Despite not hitting the 86-hour mark, on one of his Instagram posts, Arlovski claimed that he felt amazing after doing the challenge. ‘Pitbull’ claimed his next plan was to attempt to complete 72 hours of the fas, which he successfully completed, even going past the 86-hour mark, to complete an astonishing 90 hours of the challenge.
