Que?
That first gif of lunging forward and hitting Anderson square on the jaw is in the first round... And he walked away completely unscathed.
Weidman was completely comfortable on the feet against Silva, as shown in all 4 rounds of their fighting together.
I swear people have seen a different fight than I have.
This image is a better illustration. Like I said, it worked out perfectly but the result doesn't make the method ideal.
Head hunting like that wasn't part of his game plan. It was a result of frustration. The big difference was Anderson's stance.
Typically he will taunt with the ability to pivot and move. He was square which essentially restricts all of your movement to your upper body. It was the sole reason he got KO'd in that fight.
This in no way shape or form means that Weidman wasn't the better fighter. He was.
