not at all, easy fight for anderson.
Weidman is definitely one of the top contenders in the division, but I think people are getting way ahead of themselves here. Did you see Weidman's striking against Sakara and Maia? His punches were as slow as Forrest Griffin's...and yes, I know Weidman took both those fights on short notice, but he hasn't really looked all that explosive in his other fights either. The Munoz fight was the first true glimpse of Weidman's capabilities, but that was one fight. What makes people think that Weidman can do that to Anderson F'n Silva? Weidman may have the skills to give Silva a fight, but let's at least have him face one more contender first. Anderson does not have many fights left in his career.
I say book Weidman vs. Lombard, and the winner gets the title shot.
