UFC on Fuel TV 8

[Luke]

Dana claims silva asked for a ten fight contract. Didnt sound like bullshit. He is 36, 3 fits a year and retire. You gotta remember he is making more money now than ever before. Burger king endorsements, plus mma is BLOWING up in brazil. When they put the ufc on free brazilian tv 65 million people tuned in to see anderson. He is a fucking massive celebrity now. Hes lie michael jordan down there, or at least he will be.

Silva's 37, almost 38...I think. Weidman is a Sonnen that has striking, youth, and BJJ so I do believe Silva is worried about fighting him. Lets be honest, it took 7 million and two years to get him to rematch Sonnen because he was afraid he may lose. I think he called out Bisping because he knows its an easy fight . Not many casual fans know how Bisping even is . A bigger money fight in Brazil would be a Belfort rematch, I think.


And the was one long Edmann, Edmann

I think Anderson will keep winning until he fights Weidman and he will try to avoid that fight at all cost.

[mike]

Either Dana is still trying to make Silva vs Lombard on he's trying to force Lombard to 170 with another loss........I have no idea which.

I think Lombard is going to beat Okami. Thunder vs Lighting.. i remember Floyd Mayweather said something along the line of.. "thunder makes sound and lighting strikes..

[Thewisemann]

I will go big on Weidman if they fight.

[edman5555]

Weidman outstruck an injured munoz. He barely outstruck maia. I think he can win but I don't get why anyone would favor him.

[SPX]

I think Silva will fuck him up if they fight. But there's only one way to find out.

[Thewisemann]

Weidman will get him down and keep him down. And he won't get subbed.

[SPX]

Weidman's hype train is getting out of control.

Weidman's hype train is getting out of control.

No hype. He has a great skillset that traditionally gives Anderson Silva problems. Weidman is a better version of Sonnen.

[SPX]

I'd like to see Sonnen and Weidman fight before I made that pronouncement.

[edman5555]

No hype. He has a great skillset that traditionally gives Anderson Silva problems. Weidman is a better version of Sonnen.

Sonnen wasn't good enough.

See bold.

Well, his takedowns haven't been proven as much as Sonnen's. Nor has his relentless control. He is a wrestler, but Silva has beaten wrestlers better than Weidman. The X factor is that Weidman also has some strong bjj, whereas Hendo and Sonnen really don't. That is the whole key here, getting the TD. I would still favor Silva, but Weidman would be a good dog bet.

[Thewisemann]

If weidman is healthy, and has 1 fight back before he fights Silva, i put him at -200.

Well, if they fight, I guarantee you he won't be -200. So you will have a great opportunity to bet there.
