I understand what Weidman went through; he will win the rematch.

I think a lot of you are underestimating how much Weidman's injury prevented him from performing up to his standards.

I happen to know what Weidman went through from firsthand experience.

Back in 2006 I went to visit my Grandpa in Arkansas. He has a farm out there with all sorts of animals including a few horses. Whenever I'm there my Grandpa gives me the task of letting the horses out of their pen in the morning.

The first morning I went to let the horses out of their holding, the youngest of the bunch (a very energetic colt that my Grandpa named Pussy Pie) Ran excitedly from the farthest end of the pen all the way to edge of the field. In the process he trampled on my right foot. I immediately felt the sharpest pain ever and knew something was wrong.

My grandpa put ice on my foot while I spent the rest of the day inside on the recliner watching reruns of Judge Judy. My Grandma baked me blueberry cookies and made sure I remained comfortable.

Grandpa punished Pussy Pie and made him stay in the pen the rest of the day while the other horses got to saunter in the field under the beautiful Arkansas sun. Even though my foot felt like hell and was swollen like a cushion by noon time, I still felt bad for Pussy Pie. I'm an animal lover who finds joy in seeing animals in nature as opposed to being locked away.

The next morning I woke up and my foot was black and blue and swollen like a balloon. I tried to get out of bed to let the horses out, but as soon as I stood up I lost my balance and fell backwards in a heap of pain. My foot was on fire and I could only think to scream out "God Damn it Pussy Pie".

My Grandmother heard me wailing and came in. When she saw how bad my foot had gotten she demanded we go to the hospital.

In the emergency room the doctor who looked at me knew right away my foot was broken.

12 hours later I walked out of the hospital in a cast and holding a pair of crutches.

For the next few weeks I barely walked. Just watched a lot of TV and ate tons of cookies and ice cream.

It was time to go back home. Before I left I made sure to stop by the pen and say goodbye to Pussy Pie and the rest of the horses. And I certainly thought about the excited jumpy colt when three months later I got the cast removed.

Let me be the first to tell you: A broken foot is not something to fight with. Weidman should have pulled out and healed properly. I have much respect for his decision to fight becase I know how much pain he was in, but it was still the wrong choice.

If Weidman's foot is healthy he will crush Luke in the rematch.

I've been to most of the different continental States now. Arkansas is one I haven't been to yet.

I think I'll skip it, or just drive through real fast. The place sounds messed up.

Time for a new gimmick

 

[TGArthur]

Mark my words everyone, Weidman will win.....

....If he doesn't lose

Rockhold was far from 100% going into that fight and still embarrassed weedman

Yup. I dont know why people are forgetting Luke was pretty depleted from staph.

Luke fought a very smart fight and turned it up w he cracked open an advantage.

The rematch will see a Chris with a better foot, but Luke will likely be much healthier than he was in the first fight.

I honestly think Chris has met his match here. Luke is very talented and experienced at this point in his career and larger. And from what we have seen, Luke is also a smarter fighter.

I like Chris, and would be psyched to see him take that belt back, but i dont think its going to happen.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

He went through an ass whooping.

Naming a horse "pussy pie" kinda gives it away. Like how poisonous animals warn others with bright colors.

i think rockhold is just more well rounded especially his kicking game, should be a wicked fight none the less, i cant stand weedman so ill go for rockhold even though he shits me as well

 

[zach lasseter]

I've broken my foot before as well. I didn't fight with it but continued instructing classes. It was agony, especially if the top of my foot touched the mat during ground work. I think mine was just a fracture but still.

 

[Jehannum]

Luke will target the injury and win via The Rock Hold

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Rockhold will smash him again
