Chris Weidmen the new Middleweight champion

[Beanflicker]

Everyone's gonna say "WTF WAS HE DOING DROPPING HIS HAND/PLAYING GAMES/ECT"... but he's done that to pretty much every one of his opponents in the UFC and people have cheered him for it. He played with fire one too many times and got burned.

Agree totally, but it did seem especially over the top tonight, at least given that he hadn't mounted much of his own attack. He clearly didn't respect Weidmens stand up whatsoever, but it makes me wonder what kind of sparring he is used to You really can't do that against any kind of capable boxer/striker.

Anderson defeated himself, he says he doesn't want a rematch but I'm thinking Dana isn't going to have any of that BS. A strange situation, there is no telling what the outcome will be.

Good luck to Weidman because everyone that Anderson defeated is going to want a run at him after that strange, confusing and stupid fight--it left the smell of Professional Wrestling in the air.

Dana will be cursing for a week, at least.

By the sound of it, did he Nate Campbell his ass

Almost to a tee, he kept doing his best matrix impression rather than offer his chin exactly, but small difference. Frustrating thing was there was so much of the same crap before the finish came, where Silva should have been teeing off himself, Weidmen was almost following suit in spots.

This is exactly why Silva hasnt fought Bisping yet. Bisping is technical and has good enough movement to get in and out with getting hit with a counter. Dana White would never make Silva vs Bisping.

Silva has never went up against a striker has technical as Bisping.

I'll go ahead and put Wiedman on Franklins level as far as striking. But Weidmans quicker and stronger with better finishing capabilities. And Silva is older know than he was against Franklin.

Besides Franklin and Weidman, the next best technical striker Silva has fought would be Sonnen.

Sorry mate, but as much as i like bispring he would not beat silva.

Dan henderson destroyed bispring and i would love to see dan and chris get it on.

The good thing for bispring is that he might get a title shot against chris and that would be a great chance for him.

Anderson silva, well hes 40 years old and just seemed as though he wasnt bothered about fighting anymore!

He has a ten fight contract and dana must be fuming.
Anderson has nothing to prove and he lost because he was clowning around and just doesnt want it anymore. I saw a trailor of his new film the other day which looks crap but once you start doing those movie type things your game slips.

LOL!

Bisping? The guy who got outstruck by a wrestler in Matt Hamill?

No, the reason Bisping has never gotten a shot at Anderson is because he ALWAYS loses when he's almost in line for title contention.

Hendo knocked him out brutally, then he lost to a washed up Wanderlei.

Then he started rallying some wins together, but lost his shot when he dropped the decision to Chael.

Then he got TKO'd by Belfort and went down the ladder again.

Bisping has no chance against Silva. Weidman can punch. Bisping doesn't have big power in his hands.

The top part sums it up.
Anderson did defeat himself.

He really thought he was superhuman..hes not.

Sonnen would have finished Silva just like that in there first fight if Sonnen had the finishing capabilities of Wiedman.
