Hendo was a good enough striker not to get kayo'd either:
You're right in the sense that anyone can be KO'ed. Anderson is such a creative striker, but, it takes him a bit to get started. You have to pressure him. If you give him time as many have done, it ends quickly.
Weidman doesn't hold a candle to Belfort on the feet and look what happened to him.
Seriously though, all Chris said was that he wouldn't get knocked out...He didn't say he would obliterate Silva on the feet.
The guy's just being confident. Idk why everyone has their panties in a bunch
Only Anderson fans could to offense to that statement. Ha.
Weidman has become one of the most annoying fighters. The guy has one "big" win and he's talking like he's cleared out the division. Can't wait till Silva puts this guy in his place.
If his opponent don't talk shit, Anderson's ppv cut probably wouldn't be as big. As a fan, I welcome the trash talk, more Anderson Money for the Spider.
Forrest, Bonnar and Franklin all said they thought they'd at least be able to give Anderson a good fight and not one got even remotely close. Sure, Weidman could definitely come forward and catch Anderson but the reality is that is very unlikely. Besides, Weidman would be a complete moron to even try it. His best chance is to try to get Anderson down, which if he has any brains is what his real game plan is.
No joke. The guy isn't saying he can out strike him or even beat him. The most boisterous thing he's saying is that he thinks he prevent Anderson from KOing him. AT this point I think that's a victory in and of itself
Weidman has no fans, just Silva haters hopping on his back.
