Vitor has 2 rounds to beat Chris Weidman. Vitor has never KO'd anyone after the 2nd round and most of his losses come from fights that went past the 2nd round. Weidman will probably submit Vitor or tko stop him early.

As much as I hate his CAC music, Weidman is gonna dust Belfort something serious. Weidman is in that Silva tier of athleticism, and his mat game is :banderas:. The fact that in the 1st round, he was actually standing up with Silva and was getting a number of significant strikes, I don't think Belfort can KO him.

That was Matt Serra that said it. I've never really liked Serra and always gets killed for saying he's disrespectful all the time. He's had beef with almost everyone he does business with and talks shyt on most fighters and tries to bully people and hide it as comedy.

I like Chris. But Longo and Serra (more Serra) i've don't really like.

Silva was disrespectful in the first fight. He kissed the nikka in his mouth and basically acted like he was nothing DURING the fight. If a nikka kiss you in the mouth before the fight how much respect are you supposed to show him, and how much respect is he really showing you? :usure:

nikkas just mad that cac floored our hero.

So? Anderson peaked later..

Stop making excuses for his 2 recent losses, you're being delusional breh. From what we've seen from both fights, there has never been a clear moment where Anderson was winning the fight (or even had some success for that matter). While on the other hand, Weidman was beating him in the first fight, then KO'd him. And then in the second fight, up until the injury, was pretty much dominating Anderson (and almost finished him).
you have never seen rounds of the chael sonnen or (the 1st of the) dan henderson's fight with silva have you

I think maybe you need to re-watch it cause I viewed it right before I commented, you're the one who was talking out your ass saying he was screaming yes and celebrating like a pro wrestler. Silva goes down, Weidman goes in for punches but Herb Dean pushes him aside, he did a lap and was checking on Silva in literally 5 seconds. Then later when he notices Silva's corner not being let in by security he goes on his own accord to get them in. Personally, when I saw Weidman putting his arms up I didn't like it but stop acting like it was some hugely egregious offense.

And no ones saying he was checking leg kicks in the gym 10 hours a day but it was clearly a point of emphasis throughout his camp. It was a thought out strategy to use high leg checks using the knee and upper shin as opposed to typical low checks where impact is on the lower shin. You're not taking "millions" of those at full force, 3-4 max in a fight and you're done.

So you dont think throughout the many years of Anderson Silva's life in fighting and training in brazillian that he hasn't thrown a million leg kicks by now? And I didn't say he literatelly was screaming yes like a WWE fighter, I was using it as a comparison to show the level of elation that Weidman had. The moment Silva went down hurt he was elated and happy just like when WWE fighters run around the ring screaming Yes.

Bsmooth you know ur mma but you need to brush on your reading skills to fully understand the point I was making. Weidman didn't handle that win like I would think a real champ or pro should've. He looked like he got lucky, his 1st and natural instant was to cheer and do a victory lap and to me that is poor sportsmanship, especially when fighting a legend like Silva. Did he do the whole consoling thing after, yeah sure he did. But it wasn't his 1st or 2nd concern which is troubling to me. The reason I say to me is because I've been a Wiedman fan for a long time and he's always had an image of the good squeaky clean kid, always the underdog, Mr. nice guy with deadly skills. And this fight he really showed a darkside like it was all an act. Just like the moment with Jon Jones and his coach when he's caught saying to Jones to get some fans, since that point Jones' image has taken a downward turn.

if you don't agree, then dont agree, but i know if was me in a fight against you and you just snapped ur leg I would be trying to catch you first, and I wouldn't raise my arms up in victory not once. When the ref makes the announcement after, 1st thing I would say is I don't deserve this belt and next fight I will earn it and give it the respect Silva has done all these years.

. Just kidding.

Some of you guys are making it bigger than it was. He took a lap for 5 seconds but he didn't scream Yes mad happy. He took his lap because his technique worked, he won then he checked on Anderson :yeshrug:

Fair enough, agree to disagree. Like I said, I didn't like him putting his hands up but I think it's a little absurd to vilify him based on what he did in the 5 seconds following an intense athletic competition. I mean Anderson Silva danced around calling Demian Maia a motherfukker for 5 rounds, people do dumb things in the midst of athletic competition, I know I have, and I just really don't see what Weidman did as being so bad and I'm not going to question the sincerity of his concern because of it.

are u seriously making a parallel between taunts in the act of battle (u know that thing u do to get in your opponents head to gain an advantage) to a guy who finally let his guard down and exposed that the image he purports is false? :why:
