Im Brazilian and a Spider nuthugger but ...

[D10]

... obviously his title reign has its days counted, till the day he faces chris weidman

Anyone with eyes to see, and not sold on records and other meaningless BS, knows that Weidman has more than 50% chance of winning that fight.

Sure Anderson has the advantage on the feet, and he avoided takedowns recently against bonnar and okami, but he still got taken down and controled by sonnen for the first round of their rematch, and had to cheat to beat him in the second (well sonnen kind of beat himself, but thats beside the point)

The point is, Anderson came 100% in the second fight, he still got taken down and controled with ease by Sonnen.

Now Sonnen is a guy that is very good, but that as good as you want him to be, his top control is very good, but his GNP and submissions are subpar, and simply not enough to do anything other than laying on a guy like Anderson.

Weidman OTOH has excelent subs and GNP, I dont think Silva would be able to lay confortably on his back against him, and would get TKOed, subbed, or decisioned by Weidman.

Im just saying that because I feel like I have reached a level of maturity in which I can see things for what they truly are, and I think that as good as Silva is, weidman is good enough on the ground and on TDs to beat him 7/10 times.

Many on sherdog are seem to believe Weidman has a "punchers chance" but its the other way around, unfortunately for Weidman, is the best puncher in the game

Anderson fans are going to attack this with a fury.
Weidman will be "Overhyped" and there will be "LOL @ this Weidman hype" and "What has this guy done?!" posts.

But i think it would be a great fight.

I'd favor Anderson, but Chris is the only good fight for him left in that division.

 

[Calvin42]

agreed, Weidman wins.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Weidman would have a very tough time getting Anderson down. We all know his striking is average at best. Weidman's best hope is that Anderson gets old overnight.

There is nothing Weidman has done that makes me think he has anymore of a chance than Yushin Okami or Stephen Bonnar.

 

[MMAEXP3RT]

Multiple threads like this get made for every single potential opponent for Anderson. Then they fight and Anderson makes complete fools of them. Happens every single time.

Well Anderson is my favorite fighter and I've posted many times that Weidman is the clear #1 contender on paper and skillwise poses lots of problems to Anderson. I know a lot of Anderson fans agree with me, maybe not the delusional nuthuggers but I think a lot of fans will agree that Weidman is dangerous and deserving of the shot (and has been ever since he KTFO Munoz).

 

[nyduccie]

Agreed. Weidmans got a great chance. Can't wait for that fight. Gonna beard for Anderson to avoid it.

 

[BOXINGMMAFREAK]

you willing to bet your account on wideman?

 

[Jawth]

Weidman is the only legitimate challenge left for Anderson at 185. I still think Silva would win, but Chris has the skillset to make it interesting.

Yup.

 

[Dookieshoes**]

Chris Weidman is the most dangerous fighter who has ever challenged Anderson Silva.

 

[Blackbelch**]

Just give Weidman the fight! He's a tough man for anyone in the MW division. If not Weidman at least Rockhold!

 

[DShiznit]

It'll be just another first round TKO win for Silva followed by haters saying "Weidman was never any good to begin with" posts. Nothing to see here folks....

 

[TheComebackKid]

Chris Weidman is the most dangerous fighter who has ever challenged Anderson Silva.

Lol

 

[BOXINGMMAFREAK]

Chris Weidman is the most dangerous fighter who has ever challenged Anderson Silva.

more dangerous than a guy like henderson who has ko, and hurt some of the bestmma fights that ever lived?

weidman beat a fat out of shape munoz who was coming off a horrible injury and people are acting like he is on a jon jones type run.

 

[ko1]

[Dookieshoes**]

yeah, more dangerous than henderson because dan didn't have anything but a puncher's chance; weidman has a legitimate way to win the fight via any method.

TS, you forgetting something really important:

sonnen has a better double leg than weidman, but that's about it. weidman's overall wrestling is better than chaels, and his bjj is leagues ahead of the gangster from west linn.
