UFC 162

One thing I do not like about Weidman is that he seems to be a very positional grappler, he isn't like Sonnen who just doesn't stop punching you in the face. Weidman maintains positions, tries to advance, and get the submission. Sonnen was able to just take Silva down and really tire him out and beat the shit out of him...this makes me think Silva will be more fresh in rounds 2-5 and will have a better chance on the feet before getting taken down.

I think Silva will have alot more trouble on the ground with Weidman. Sonnen hit Silva 1000 times on the ground and does minimal damage. He mounted Silva and couldnt do any damage. Weidman takes Silva down, i think he'll dish out more damage. He has the ability to finish Silva. Sonnen didnt have that threat.

Already dropped 500 at Weidman +280

I still think weidman is a little green. He will probably make some kind of mistake and get blasted.

[edman5555]

Well apparently I am a retard and everyone else is smart.

I'm with you on Anderson figuring something out with Weidman. And I'll say this shit, I've been wanting someone to beat Anderson for a while, and if Weidman is the guy to do it will actually piss me off. Because of all the people who have fought Anderson, Weidman is probably my least favorite. Well, except for maybe Thales Leites.

He's probably the most talented as well, though. His all around game is getting very fluid, and he already had the great wrestling combined with great submission defense(something Sonnen didn't have). Anderson can be held down, and if Weidman can work some of that ground and pound early on and maybe hurt Anderson who knows what happens.

[edman5555]

Yeah he has great wrestling and sub defense but that only means he has to take Anderson down for 5 rounds and hold him the entire five minutes each round. Sonnen couldnt do that the second time around. Weidman might have a shot at subbing him. Thats where I give him some room to win.

Weidman might gas badly if hw grapples for the first 2-3 rounds

This worries me too, but I am not sure if I want to take the Maia fight into account because he cut 30 lbs in a week or so to make weight for that fight since it was such short notice.

[trotterz]

He gassed agains't sakara as well. I can't recall if that fight was on short notice as well though.

[Thewisemann]

Im pretty sure it was. Sakara was suppose to fight someone else.

Makdessi vs Barboza added

[SPX]

That's a damn good fight. I'm really curious to see that one. I think Makdessi will be a dog and I also think I'll probably bet him.
