mitchard Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I searched around and didn't see another thread that has been replied to in over a year. Looks like its time for a new one. So guys... how about that Silva/Weidman fight? Massive UFC 162 spoiler: http://i.minus.com/i0BbOLJQzTOAr.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouka Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I missed it and was hoping to find it (or at least snippets) online and haven't had any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchino Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Silva deserved to get rocked with all the taunting and shit. He wouldn't of gotten knocked out when he did if he wasn't showboating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thievesdont Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Kind of blows my mind that people are saying Silva was fighting like an asshole or whatnot. That's how he always fights. He toys with guys to get in their heads. The only fight that I can remember him not doing it in recently was his fight against Vitor. If Anderson would have finished Chris (and it looked like he was starting to break him down, Chris stayed remarkably composed) everyone would be talking about how it was another masterful performance and that Silva is the GOAT. Didn't happen that way. With that said huge huge HUGE win by Weidman. As upset as I am about Anderson losing, I'm interested to see where the division goes from here. Silva doesn't seem like he wants the rematch, yet Dana is letting Chris sit on the shelf while waiting on Anderson to decide. If he doesn't want the rematch Chris should fight Belfort. He's the true no 1 contender IMO, there's no way he isn't. He's 4-0 at MW since losing to Silva and has obliterated two guys who would have received title shots if they had beat him.

mitchard Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Exactly. He always fights like a disrespectful asshole. Thats his game, and normally it works great. Like Dana said in the post fight presser, had he fought like that an won (as he usually does), people would be hailing him as a genius per usual. It didn't work out this time, and people are taking shit about it. The Vitor situation is interesting. I don't think he may have a hard time fighting anywhere in the US, as last I heard, Nevada won't license him for his TRT exemption due to his past abuse of testosterone. I think the same goes for everywhere else up here. And having Weidman fight Vitor in Brazil or Canada doesn't make sense. I'm thinking it will be Silva/Weidman II in either Jersey or Sao Paulo.

enjoyadrian Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ariel helwani was saying that dana mentioned maybe doing it in new jersey super bowl weekend. That would be massive. i'm sad to see the super fights vanish due to silva going overboard with his taunting technique. jones vs silva wouldve been amazing to have seen. Wasnt too psyched about a potential gsp vs silva match. Overall amazing fight. I've never seen anything like it and doubt we'll ever see anything like that again.

The thing with Vitor was that he pissed hot once, and according to his doctor it was due to an injection the doctor gave him after his knee surgery. Whether or not it's believable, I'm willing to bet the NSAC would allow him to fight. Kaiser is a notorious idiot and he really only needs to look at dollar signs more than anything else. Even so, another AC would probably allow the exemption. If not he'd be license to fight anywhere including Nevada if he stopped the treatment. We'll see. But yeah, I can see Anderson/Weidman 2 being in NJ. I just think champions need to fight the challengers and I'm tired of the divisions getting stuck.

mitchard Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 The amount of instant rematches and lack of contenders makes it tough. Though Cain vs JDS is really the only heavyweight fight that makes sense right now, i'm not ready to see them fight again just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 These are the remaining headliners in 2013. Stacked. Let the pre-fight injury tally begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rioux Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I would like to see Weidman fight against Victor Belfort before the rematch against Silva. Belfort almost won the fight against Jon Jones, and would be a great opponent. And the velasquez/cigano fight will be huge. As a brazilian, I hope Cigano wins that one.

Scott Coker might be taking over Bellator very soon. Hopefully he can get some good fighters there and send them in a new direction. Those events are really bad sometimes. Have you seen this article about the contracts they use? Basically, the worst thing you could do is win a tournament or become a champion. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/5/20/5715082/bellator-contract-mma-ali-act-business-fighters-managers-eddie-alvarez-askren-lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
