As crazy as it seems - he's probably not that far away from a title shot.
Just beat Kelvin
Kelvin - 1 fight win streak
Souza - 1 fight win streak
Rockhold - KTFO in two of his last 3
Yoel fighting Whittaker
Machida - retirement fight with Bisping
Anderson - 4 year suspension
Belfort - looking for retirement fight with Hall
Brunson -2-3 in last 5 just got KTFO by Machida
Branch is fighting Thiago Santos
They currently have him at #4 - #2 Jacare needs a fight. It's not crazy to think if he wins his next fight he could easily get Whittaker next.
His fights are entertaining. He usually goes for the finish. The three fights he lost were very competitive and exciting until they were stopped against three elite guys in their prime that are UFC champion material. I like the fighter Chris Weidman.
Outside the octagon, I don't fucking care about him.
That's an interesting post, thank you. I think he should fight maybe Brunson or Branch before facing someone in the top 5, mind that he's fighting someone underranked therefore he's expected to win (I don't think he'll have much trouble), then he'll be at 2-3, a better place to argue for a contender dispute with someone top 5.
I don't think that far from a tittle shot, one easy win, one hard win -> title shot, right?
All in all I agree with everything you said, the only difference between us is that this attitude from Weidman on Twitter is really cringe/shameful, were him like "
I'm waiting for whoever UFC gives me" he would fare a lot better, but instead he tries to be arrogant and sound like the biggest douche in UFC, wtf Weidman?
Last, but not least, Jacare had a real close decision over Rockhold (that's what we call and
Weidman argument, or
Weidment for close ones), and he's not getting younger, we should give him the next MW chance before he gets too old, same applies to Romero (in fact, in case either of them gets the title shot and wins the other should fight him right next).
One of few rational people posting about Weidman. Kudos, sir.
I hope you've not included yourself in, most of what I read from you are passionate/aggressive stuff,
I'm honestly sorry for being that blunt, but it's a sincere opinion.
Take a look on what he said, he came up with a good
reasonable argument instead of saying something regarding Anderson Silva. It's weird how Weidman's fans can't get past Silva, like, you can't say that Weidman did fuck up with that spinning stunned turtle kick against Rockhold without someone insinuating that
you're a Silva nuthugger, that's the point when you frown and move on.
In fact, Weidman did well throwing that kick, he turned himself into a better showman, he took risk just like Silva used to do, it sucks that that kick was terrible and cost him the fight, but on the other hand had him landed a valid Barboza over Rockhold we would
all be glad! Weidman does show more aggression than the average wrestler, like GSP/DC/Davis/Khabib, and I dig it.
