Chris Weidman has not earned this fight against Gastelum !

[Defanged]

Gastelum is coming off of three solid wins against Hendricks, Kennedy, and Belfort.
Weidman is coming off of three straight losses.

It is utter BS and it feels like Gastelum was basically given this fight as punishment for smoking weed.
Weidman deserves to fight the #10 MW for title of gatekeeper.

Chirs Weidman was never my friend

What have Kennedy, Hendricks, Belfort done in the last two years? Gastelum is a stud. Not taking anything away from him.

Weidman has only lost to the best at MW and still has the skills to be a top MW.

Come on TS. Appreciate that you're getting a very good fight for free tonight.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Well, if Fatselum starches him tho, it CATAPULTS him into top 5, and mentions of a potential title shot with another win imo.

 

[Dick]

3 solid wins against a fat unmotivated WW, a guy coming off a 2 year layoff, and TRT'less, flabby old man Belfort.

 

[mmacasualviewer]

Chris dominated bodybuilder Yoel & Lanklet Mousasi with superior jabs and crosses.

Everyone in the division keeps ducking Rockhold because they don't have the size or stamina of Chris/Bisping.

Why wasn't Rockhold booked against Silva or Gastelum or Mousasi already? He wants a safe fight against Boring Branch where he can probably survived losing even a UD.

Weidman Vs Silva III was the fight to make !

Yeah, but in terms of fairness, it seems very messed up to have a guy with three wins fight a guy coming off of three losses.

Fight is in Long Island, Chris was headlining vs. someone. No punishment involved.

I do feel that KG gets treated like a red-headed stepson, mainly because he'll always carry that underdog stigma.

On the other hand, the UFC may be trying to build up KG's resume with solid names, having faith he can beat them.

Why whine about it? By your thinking it should be an easy fight for Gastelum then and he uses Chris as a stepping stone.

Its an interesting fight none the less. Lets not use Hendricks as an example of a solid win, he has been terrible of late.

Hendricks, Kennedy, and Belfort

A fat guy, a crazy guy and a old guy. 1/10.

 

[bukofezra]

I agree, but if Kelvin wins, then it only solidifies him as a top five ass whooper and puts him up there as a title contender....as for Chris, Bellator?

 

[Silverblur]

Yeah, but in terms of fairness, it seems very messed up to have a guy with three wins fight a guy coming off of three losses.

Why? One guy on the way up, one guy on the way down, it seems like a pretty natural match up to me. If anything it's unfortunate that Weidman can't get a tune up fight.

Hendricks is a joke now, Kennedy is old and infrequently fights, and they both dominated Belfort.

Weidman may be on a losing streak but those losses are to 3 top 5 MW's.

 

[Taric]

Kelvin would be dead if he fought Weidman's last 3.
