Anderson silva

[imp]

Anderson just got caught.
He was show boating and got caught.
The rematch will be different if anderson wants it to be.

Nah, 38 years old and fighting professionally since 1997?
16 years of pro fighting, it's amazing he held onto his reflexes for this long.
UFC Champ since 2006, almost 7 years, simply amazing.
His deterioration as a top fighter will become more apparent fight by fight now...

I think Weidman would still be a tough opponent for Silva, even if Silva doesn't showboat/taunt Weidman. That is part of his 'game' - to get inside his opponent's head and according to Weidman, Silva knews Weidman was not afraid of him and couldn't hurt him.

For a left hook that didn't land solidly shows to me that Weidman has power. Is Weidman a crisp striker? No, but he's determined and egged on by Silva with hands down didn't help Silva at all.

Looking forward to the rematch.

I think the rematch will be completely different, Anderson was just clowning too much. If he cuts out the bullshit and sticks to a game plan he'll school Weidman....I'm guessing Silva by submission in 2. Anderson will do some striking, Weidman will be raring to go and Silva will use Weidman's anxiousness to repeat against him. It's not as if Silva got KTFO by a perfect kick or by 1 punch...he got hurt and was already way off balance and then got jumped on...I think Silva rebounds easily.

I pretty much see the same going on. The fight is to take place in december, this time, the Spier will be focused and with the taste of blood on his lips.

I think Weidman has the right skills set to make it a grind it out fight similar to Chael/Spider 1. I don't think that alone guarantees a win but I think it makes him a very game competitor. I could also see Weidman being a little too impressed with his own striking and get utterly tooled inside 2 rounds.

He didn't lose that fight due to being washed up.

Exactly.

But anderson has achieved so much already he probably just cant be bothered anymore.

Dana needs silva to win the rematch..

I think Sylva's only chance is a knockout, and it better be early or he's going to get beat again.

Chris Weidman will win again
