If we aren't trying to right the wrong done to Bruno last night, then someone violent and explosive. I'm even okay with him moonlighting at 205 again with someone like Rountree.
 
Roy Jones or Kazushi Sakuraba. Not sure..

Chris when he gets offered a ranked opponent :)
But then he realizes it's at 205 :(

He should retire, but he won’t , so how about Nick Diaz , both past it but at least Diaz probably isn’t a threat to his legs
 
Brazil.

Make East Coast Cheat-man fight someone in Brazil -- especially if the Athletic Commission doesn't DQ homeboy for his double eye-poke fouls.

Brazil.

Let those locals take care of the Ref, judges, etc.


Brazil.
 
That win last night is probably the worst thing that could've happened.

He's apparently totally fucking ignoring the fact that he raked dude's eyes 4 times in a row, and seems to believe this fight and win is a sign that he's still got it.

The recent Anderson trilogy call out was odd, too. Hopefully Anderson doesn't bite.
 
I dunno. Been a Weidman fan for a long time and while he looked pretty good last night, he often looks good right up until he gets destroyed. Really disappointed in him after this fight and his response to how it ended.

Still my boy but... I'm not happy with the dude at all.

On topic, I rather wish he'd have won clean last night and retired. Since neither of those things happened, give him a big jump up in competition so he either sinks or swims.
 
Weidman had the opportunity to go out on top (despite the controversy of the eye pokes etc) last night in the very city he started his MMA career in back in 2009. However Weidman has said he plans to keep fighting. Who should he fight next?

UFC isn't gonna hand him "easy fights" but they could give him ones that are somewhat winnable like they did with Bruno Silva or they could put him against fighters who are likely to finish & make a name off him, which direction do you think they should go?
