Two Titles - UFC 187: Johnson vs Cormier & Weidman vs Belfort Thread [May 23]

[8====D]

Easily submitting Weidman? Weidman has an underrated BJJ game.

i said i (as in myself) could easily see belfort submitting, not that it would be an easy submission. . .some of these new mma "fans" feel like weidman a GOD on the ground due to his wrestling prowess. . .vitor was damn close to taking that one cokeheads arm home lol

Weidman has fought the Spider and Machida, I don't think he's afraid to stand and trade, even with Belfort. I'm far from a Weidman fan, haha I still low key don't respect him as champion for some reason, but Weidman is patient. I don't think he'll get in submission trouble at all. I think this fight will only be exciting if Belfort can still show flashes of his former self. But then again, I haven't seen Belfort fight since Jones submitted him.

Weidman is the best MW in the world, but he's obviously far from untouchable. I've actually picked against him in his last 3 fights. I just believe that Weidman's wrestling in combination with his BJJ is the best in his division.

Only one (well, two now) vote for Cormier? Cormier/Rumble is an easy one, imo.

I think Weidman gets cocky and gets caught. He's said since the fight was made that he was gonna toy around with Vitor, he better be aware that power is always the last thing a fighter loses. I'm rooting for Belfort I just don't like Weidman or his team, and it has nothing to do with Anderson.

DC vs Rumble goes one or two ways, Johnson knocks him out early or DC out wrestles him and stops him late.

They generate more buys by having 4-5 cards instead of 1 super card.
