If he was smart?
He should call out Weidman right now. This is his chance to catch Weidman coming off a serious injury and layoff. The longer he waits, the more dangerous he's going to become.
This actually works out well for the UFC from the standpoint of finally making the Silva/GSP fight a reality this summer. Not that it will actually happen...
Weidman still wont pose as big a threat as people make out. He's still pretty unproven despite the short notice win against K-1 Maia.
Silva should be man enough to fight Jon Jones. Chael Sonnen and Vitor have.
If Jones beats Sonnen then Anderson Silva should be his next opponent while he is waiting the winner of Gus/Mousasi and Henderson/Machida.
With no clear contender Rockhold makes sense being that he is the SF champ. A title unification bout would be interesting
Belfort vs Weidman eliminator
Jacare will make an interesting matchup too. Explosion and power to get the takedown, and if Jacare lands a takedown on Anderson early it could be trouble
Bisping vs Weidman eliminator
Jacare will make an interesting matchup too. Explosion and power to get the takedown, and if Jacare lands a takedown on Anderson early it could be trouble
It won't. The ufc wants Diaz to beat gsp which won't happen, so that Diaz can fight silva....
