Anderson is 1 win away from a title shot.

I think they'll only do that if Vitor Belfort becomes champion. Weidman-Silva III even with the unusual outcomes is not a marketable fight for the UFC. I would like to see another fight with Weidman but the only way I see it happening is if Anderson Silva regains the title without fighting him and Weidman once again establishes himself as the #1 contender.
 
This is not called for and against board protocol. Please back up your frustrations with reasons and facts.

2 losses to the current champ, 2 fight losing streak and can come straight back into a title fight after a long lay off due to injury? No one deserves that.
 
Weidman beat him fair and square, twice. But this second time was a freak accident that took place. That being said Anderson is definitely coming back. He's already asking where can he train. http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/12/30/5258958/anderson-silva-expected-to-return-to-training-in-six-to-nine-months

That being said, do you think he will get a title shot after 1 win? I think he definitely does. And he will get a relatively easy fight when he comes back.

I think he will get another shot at Weidman after 1 win or might even fight Weidman in his 1st fight back, because imo Weidman wont be champ after his next fight.

Imo Weidman will break him but I wouldn't be surprised if Vitor won by vintage flurry.
