Calling it now: Jacare will beat Weidman if (when) they meet

[ACT]

Because Maia made WW and he's a big MW as well.

He was never a big MW

 

[KillingJoke]

This is the same Jacare that lost to Rockhold right?

 

[norsa]

Because Okami has such a stout chin and this fight shows that he definitely beats a guy who just knocked out Silva. yup

The thread should have been locked after that reply. Weidman would/will tear Souza apart.

 

[faustian]

He's just one of many who can beat him. Being able to beat him is not of a big thing.

Being able to beat the champ is not a big thing. Cool story bro.

 

[Da Speeit]

lol silva fans

 

[Philippou4Life]

From how I've seen him in his last few fights, I'm pretty sure he'll make it at least to a title eliminator fight very soon

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I agree. I give the edge to Jacare in a #1 contender fight to challenge Anderson

 

[OriginMMA]

Been saying it forever.

If Silva doesn't get the job done, my boy Jacare is getting it DONE. A world class BJJ practitioner like him training his striking with the likes of Anderson Silva doesn't hurt either.

 

[thiagoop]

He might beat Weidmann after Silva gets his belt back.

 

[Kalmah]

I'd pick Jacare to win.

 

[toddy]

Because Maia made WW and he's a big MW as well.

wait wut?

 

[Karp]

Though I'd love to see Souza get the win over Weidman, I don't think it's likely. Hope Jacare proves me wrong.

 

[5H3RD0G]

It would be a great fight with there all around skill.

 

[Pem123]

Jacare or any MW won't beat Weidman

 

[ninjion]

Weidman by submission and I'm dead serious too.

Inb4 "do you even know who Jacare is?"

 

[Gluhov]

People are Saying Weidmans better. Striking: Jacare
BJJ: Jacare
Wrestling: Weidman


Weidmans way overrated. The combination of ufc hype, and scoring a fluke knockout on silva.

and the guy who had a split decision gas fest with Kennedy isnt...

 

[pTw]

I could see Jacare beating Weidman. I don't see Weidman doing to Yushin what Jacare did to him tonight. Would be a great fight, if the same Jacare shows up that showed up tonight Weidman will be in for a very challenging fight.

 

[PRIDEoftheUFC**]

Weidman/Souza is definitely a great match up. I'd pick Weidman but I think it would be a competitive fight throughout

 

[sasasa]

Because Maia made WW and he's a big MW as well.

I don't really get the constant Maia/Jacare comparisons, besides both being Brazilian and both being phenomenal grapplers I don't see too many similarities.

Maia was an average size MW who looked a little soft at 185. Jacare is much bigger and is shredded at MW, I don't think he could make the cut, and why would he want to? He's having great success at 185.

 

[JKS]

Well...not that hard to believe. Jacare has same level striking...more power and is a superior grappler.
