If Anderson were to retire tomorrow, who do you think would become MW champion?

[Perrichet]

What has Weidman actually done to earn a title shot?Opened his mouth, said Anderson is scared and a bunch of you idiots believe him. It's playground stuff.

Done more than any other MW currently. The UFC is not always about earned title shots anyway. Nick Diaz is fighting for the WW title coming of a loss.

Cant wait so see the Weidman hype train derailed.

Sonnen or Bisping.

The labeling of Weidman as the next Anderson Silva is a joke.

Chael and Rockhold will fight for it.

 

[velvet goldmine]

Weidman becomes champ regardless of what Silva does.

 

[JKS]

I think Belfort

yeah...I dont favor Weidman over many of the MW's. There is a list of guys like Chael, Luke like you mentioned.....Vitor, Bisping, Lombard, Jacare and Weidman....and their all pretty even.

 

[PabloZed]

The UFC should rename it the Anderson Silva MW Belt. No one will ever wear it much less hold it the same as he does.

 

[BlastbeatPete]

Weidman for sure. Even if Sonnen is the number 2 MW, I think there are tougher stylistic match ups for Weidman than him.
Someone like Vitor, Lombard or Bisping could cause more problems than Sonnen who would get submitted against Weidman.

Nick Diaz.

He'll move up and scare all the homies outta the division.

If Anderson retired, I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of fighters from WW and LHW move to MW including GSP and Rashad. It would be a blood bath.

First time hearing of this....

And Sonnen is a LHW now.
