Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Making his debut in 2013, Weaver fought mostly for the Island Fights Promotion, amassing a 13–4 record and winning the Welterweight Championship. He eventually got a chance to compete on Dana White's Contender Series and earned his UFC contract through a second round TKO victory against Devin Smyth.[2]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

Weaver made his UFC debut against Kazula Vargas at UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Błachowicz 2 on February 15, 2020. He won the fight via DQ when Vargas kneed Weaver in the head while he was a grounded opponent.[3]

Weaver faced Roosevelt Roberts on May 30, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns.[4] At the weigh-ins, Weaver weighed in at 157.5 pounds, 1.5 pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit of 156 pounds. He was fined 20 percent of his purse and the bout with Roberts proceeded at a catchweight.[5] Weaver lost the fight via submission in round two.[6]

Brok was scheduled to face Frank Camacho during UFC Fight Night: Waterson vs. Hill on September 12, 2020.[7] However, Camacho was removed from the bout during the week leading up to the fight after testing positive for COVID-19. Weaver instead faced Jalin Turner at a catchweight bout of 165 pounds.[8] Weaver lost the fight via submission in the second round.[9]

In March 2021, Brok announced that he was released from the UFC.[10]

Post UFC

[edit]

In his first bout after release, Brok faced Alexander Barahona at iKon Fighting Federation 6 on April 2, 2021. He won the bout via unanimous decision.[11]

Weaver competed at the inaugural event of Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Fighting Championship on June 18, 2021.[12] He faced Cliff Wright, who he defeated via ground and pound in the second round.[13]

Professional Fighters League

[edit]

Weaver signed a 2 year deal to fight with PFL. He was scheduled to make his PFL debut on August 27, 2021 at PFL 9 against Brandon Jenkins.[14] The fight did not happen and Weaver has been inactive ever since.
