I'd hate to have any doubt in the greatest and I want Silva to KO Weidman in the first...but something in my gut tells me that it'll be Weidman by a hard split if he doesn't finish him. I don't know...
Clowning & taunting is Silva's style and I understand that,
but part of me watched the last fight and felt that some of the clowning was coming out of frustration. I don't think Silva believes he can bait & walk through Weidman the way he does most fighters. Kid's younger than Chael with some of the same skills, more toughness, and has a lot more power. He's undefeated. We're not sure what his weakness is.
Fluke or not, Weidman's been in the cage with Anderson, taken shots and survived without ever being in danger. I don't think he can be baited. He'll definitely be more confident coming into this fight than any of Anderson's past opponents in the UFC. If this gets into championship rounds, Weidman gets the W.
Silva needs to finish him in spectacular fashion.
