Weidman is a freak. He damn near beat Andre Galvao in ADCC. Bongfelt has a alot of submissions, but I would be pretty surprised if he catched Weidman. If Galvao couldn't catch him, almost no one can. That said, any man can can get caught in a triangle by a lesser grappler, the triangle is an equalizer... even Roger has been caught in triangles (he got out on a hail mary escape, but he was caught).

I made a no submission parlay and I have Not Bonfelt in it, but it is the bet I am the most concerned about... both guys are going to be looking to go to the floor and so we will probably have a a lot of time down there to maybe get caught... but still, I don't think it is very likely. Weidman is a beast by all accounts.
As for Bongfelt's wins over grant and pierson... let's not forget that they are welterweights, while Bongfelt and Weidman are MWs. Take into consideration Weidman's wins over Phil Davis and Bader in wrestling, they are huge 205ers... Weidman is a man child.

Well, Weidman beat Bader and Phil Davis in wrestling (or was it submission grappling?), and they are LHWs now and Weidman is a MW. So either Weidman is a big MW or he can just handle bigger competition.Leave a comment:

Scientist, how good is Weidmans grappling. Spent alot of time watching his grappling tonight. And to me, he looked great. just not sure how good his competition was. Does he hold a big grappling edge over Bongfeldt. Wrestking is obvious.
IMO, Bong. looked like crap against Pierson, and got REAL lucky against TJ Grant.Leave a comment:
