Chael Sonnen heaped a lot of praise on the UFC's top Middleweight Prospect Chris Weidman after utterly destroying Mark Munoz last night in the main event of UFC on FUEL 4. 

During the post event show Chael Sonnen gushed about Weidman proclaiming that he's the very best Middleweight the UFC has, even better than himself.

"There is no way to deny what we just saw. Weidman is on a roll, he is tapping guys out, getting Fight of the Night, and doing everything he needs to do. Now he is playing with the big boys. Now he is in the main event. The test was passed with flying colors. Chris Weidman, present company included, you are the best middleweight in the UFC." 

That's some heavy praise from a guy who was just saying a few days ago that he was the best middleweight the UFC has. And even after losing to Silva, he even gave the Champ the nod, saying he was the true champ.  

Do you think Weidman deserves the next title shot?
