Anybody got a feeling Weidman is getting KO'd tomorrow?

Weidman getting ko tonight is normal.
 
For me that aura of invincibility is gone and Silva is a normal fighter for me again. I see him losing tonight even though I would love for him to go out and crush Weidman and bring back that aura again. I just think his reaction time and his reflexes are gone.
 
Weidman's cardio is an issue. If he doesn't finish Anderson in the first round I think his chances diminish.

What are you on about? Can you Articulate exactly how he looked " awful" on his feet ? He tagged Silva several times , displayed good head movement, slipped all of silvas punches and ate a few leg kicks. How exactly does this translate to looking awful? Because his mouth was open?

Diagnosis for you.......Classic case of projection and seeing what you want see.

Have you ever trained any sort of standing combat?
Yes, Chris hit him. But the thing he did good was to keep distance. There is no way in hell he would have connected all of those strikes if Anderson didn't already mindfuck himself. At the KO combination he overextended, he stuck his chin out, telegraphed somewhat. Weidman had the basics of striking learnt and is good at it, but he is far from a great striker. And no, I am not a hater. Weidman is the only guy I would like to see hold the belt other than Andy.
 
I first saw Weidman against Maia. Yeah, his cardio was terrible. But he did take the fight on short notice, I think.

Anderson's only success against Weidman was leg kicks. That could possibly do Weidman in, along with Weidman's suspect cardio, as he seems very confident, and being that he's coached by Serra, I expect him to not check leg kicks again.

I feel more like it's a gnp tko for Weidman, early, too. Anderson had nothing to offer Weidman on the ground. He wouldn't have gotten up in the first round had not been for Weidman's stupid leg lock attempt.

I have nothing against Weidman, but I'd like to see Anderson regain the belt and then maybe go out on top, or take one more definite last fight with Jones.

Id prefer that. Silva winning tonight then retiring...it just feels a bit hasty. Id want either another defense or a Jones fight, then he can say fuck it. Doing it tonight looks like a feeble attempt to wash away his last hiccup.
 
I like Weidman, but I have a feeling that he's getting KO'ed in the first. Maybe around 2:30 in the 1st round.
 
Weidman has his number, that simple. Weidman will leave with his belt tonight...
 
I thought Silva was going to KO Weidman the first match and I'm still predicting he will.

If this match goes much similar to the first one I'm strongly confident that AS will hold that strap once again:

Weathers round 1.
Starts to get his TDD going as Weidman is a little more tired.
Keeps match standing.

After the third point, it's now in Anderson's hand to do what he does best and control the standup and not put himself in the most compromising position ever.

Personally, I wouldn't mind AS/Weidman 3 but he would have to stay at least a year for that to happen, if he wins tonite.

I'm with you on this one thought silva would ko weidman in the 1st fight by a knee when weidman shot in for a takedown . I see the fight going much like you described .
I'm kind of torn on this fight as part of me would like to see silva regain the belt but the other half of me really wants weidman to destroy and retire silva .

Projection is strong with you also. You are responding to something that I didn't even say.....making things up in your head and then refuting them.

Did I claim he looked like Bernard Hopkins out there? Not being a savant and looking awful are two entirely different things. He looked to have very capable mma striking.....awful to me anyway is toughman level winging of punches....not slipping Anderson Silva punches and connecting on more than one occasion.


I guess I forgot that this is Sherdog though and you're either dogshit or undisputed galaxywide multigenerational greatest of all-time......no room for anything else in discussion around here. Damn This place blows sometimes.
