It wasn't all luck but it was pretty fortunate that Anderson went full retard
Everybody that had any clue about Chris knew he was a nightmare matchup for Anderson many years before he was even considered for a title shot.
On paper, I couldn't even IMAGINE a worse matchup for Anderson than Chris, especially in hindsight.

AS fought soooooo many people that were "bad match ups on paper".
Id hope to avoid these types of conversations because of how they turn out but I just think Weidman came at the right time. AS could have fought almost anyone like he did Weidman and lost.

The timing was all the more reason for people to believe in Weidman.
Who in their right mind honestly believed that Anderson was going to show up being the best absolute version of himself at age 38 coming off a rather uninspiring win over Bonnar?
Prime Anderson Silva died when he finished Sonnen and forced him out of the division.

I disagree, coming off a long layoff losing his house and 2 surgeries wasn't the best time for Weidman to fight Anderson, but it didn't matter.
That's probably right but I think Weidman beats any version of Anderson as a younger Anderson's TDD is worse and he isn't as good at getting back to his feet, he would just lose differently.
