They keep asking Machida if his fight with Weidman is a revenge for Anderson Silva!?
WTF!??!??!?
Machida is a fucking world class martial artist why do he need to revenge someone!!??
poor media
If Machida said he was coming for revenge for Andy and was going to KO Weidman, interest in the fight would be 10x what it is right now.
FACT.
I do love AS but I do not hate Weidman. I think Machida is capable of getting the belt like i thought Weidman was, but seriously I never saw Weidman KTFO ASYeah that will help sell a few more PPVs
Silva lovers have naturally become Weidman haters (most, not all)
Weidman haters like the "revenge" angle
$$

FACT.
Weidman beating Machida would be more superhuman than anything Silva has done (outside of beating Hendo). Finishing Silva x 2, and Machida not only puts you in superhuman status but earns GOAT consideration.I would make the argument that most Silva haters have become Weidman lovers. I was an AS fan and I don't hate Weidman, but I don't think he's a superhuman either. If he manages to beat Machida I will be both surprised and incredibly impressed.
I hope Machida decides to play that angle.
Why do you guys want to encourage guys to be fake? I'd rather have some authenticity.

Because authenticity is boring as fuck. Or haven't you noticed?? The sport needs more fighters playing up the backstory aspect. It makes fights more interesting for the average viewer.
Good for Machida not needing to pull that Chael Sonnen WWE bs. Also fuck all the dumbasses who say he should start talking shit just to "generate more interest". If 2 men are good at fighting people will watch plain and simple.
What are you, 12? Also, I couldn't give a shit less what the average viewer finds interesting. I'm tired of the fake feuds and phony backstory.
