I think Weidman is the guy to beat Silva, he just needs my experience. The way he wrestled and KO'd Munoz was just too slick. I think if he keeps progressing the way he is, he'll definitely be a legit threat to Silva.

But besides that, I too think the only comp. Silva has are champs.

Silva aint getting any younger

Diaz/Koscheck would be a great 1st fight back for him. Will be interesting to see how Nick does with the wrestling of Koscheck and how he works from his back because Koscheck does not want to stand with him.

He will submit him ain't nothing interesting bout this fight koscheck bout to get folded:yayo:

Low key I wanna see a Diaz vs silva fight. Just cause of Diaz warrior attitude.

How much time do you think weidman is going to need, Im thinking next year around this time

Well the way the guy is progressing, I would say yeah.
I can still see Silva fighting around then.
I really think in time, Weidman can beat him.

But I've been wrong before. :beli:

Id love to see that fight, but a couple things needto happen..... Like they need to shyt or get off the pot w/ this silva/gsp or silva/jones stuff...give weidman a shot around this time next year (assuming he takes care of his biz in the next 8 months) and he should be ready by then....he has a chance, but Silva is possibly the GOAT, so who knows....
