Weidman expect Silva fight in July, rematch in Nov

Source: Weidman expects Anderson Silva fight in July, rematch in November at MSG

I do think Weidman can beat Silva, but he is coming off a long layoff and a injury. So when he fights Silva he won't be at his best.

I don't see him beating Silva in July, he should have done a warm up fight.

I don't know why you don't get more VTFUs, you're always reporting good news.

This is interesting.  I still don't think they're gonna give the fight to Weidman (as much as I want them to) because I feel like they would've announced it already.

I still think they're gonna give it to Rashad, which is absolutely retarded.  But financially, he makes a lot of sense.

if they give the fight to hashad i will punch dana in the ear

lol hilarious

the anderson legion will not be amused

No way they give it to Rashad. Weidman is the only logical option. Phone Post

If rashad had a better performance I could see that happening but after that lack luster fight I don't see how they can possibly swing that. Phone Post

With less than 10 fights in his pro career?  And his last win being seen by less than 300,000 people?  Seems like a risky proposition to me, especially with Anderson nearing the end of his career.

Ok people, I'm not guaranteeing they're gonna give the fight to Rashad, or that it's logical.  All I'm saying is that I have significant doubts they're gonna give it to Weidman.  He's so good, has a very good chance of beating Anderson and nobody knows who he is.  

If Weidman beats him, say goodbye to the big money fights with GSP/JBJ.  I just don't think the UFC is willing to risk that for a fight that only appeals to the hardcores.

Weidman will get rookied by Silva. GOAT vs 9-0 Weidman yeah... Phone Post

how many fights did HW champ b4 getting his shot?

In Phone Post

Zuffa is pushing this Weidman propaganda HARD.
Other than a nifty elbow to Mark Munoz.......uhhh.....

Weidman has NO chance.
Mark it zero, dude.

Meanwhile, Vitor is fighting everyone for Silva.... Phone Post

only other option at this point is maybe Hendo, unless they are hoping that GSP will have the confidence to go up right now if he puts a thrashing on Diaz

Anderson's BBC in my Goku -

Yeah the problem is all the other viable contenders at MW have been knocked off recently (Bisping, Belcher, Boetsch). Weidman is 5-0 at MW so I think he'll get it. Phone Post

Ruin - lol hilarious

Oh, we will be as amused as we were after the second Chael fight.

I think the UFC will remain quiet until the Lombard/Okami fight goes down.



 



There is a strong argument for Lombard with a devastating finish of Okami. March 3rd will probably dictate who Silva fights next if they don't announce Weidman.

Vitor's last 3 fights have been outside of the U.S. I wonder if it has something to do with getting his TRT approved in the states and especially in Las Vegas.

Why would Anderson grant a rematch at MSG?

Looking forward to this fight though but I don't see Weidman winning the first time they fight. Phone Post
