^^^^^I can't wait.
The Sonnen/Weidman comparison doesn't ring with me well.
Sonnen is more athletic, has a more tested chin and is more unpredictable.
When's the last time someone heavy-handed took it to Chris? I can't remember how well Sakara did...I don't remember him buzzing Weidman any in that fight. We don't know how he'll react to Anderson's lasers. Weidman doesn't seem very athletic from the 3 or 4 fights of his that I've seen. Sonnen was able to blast across and up under Silva. I see Weidman more of a big, strong technician. His striking and wrestling isn't explosive. He's like a rich man's Phil Davis to me......we shall see.
And Chael was 3/7 on takedowns in the first fight and 1/3 in the second...that's not dominant wrestling...Silva, barring stopping him with the 1st strike he throws(doubtful), will get taken down but he'll probably stuff the majority of attempts...Silva's weakness is getting up, not defending TDs. And that weakness may be more self-imposed since he may just be stalling for a stand up instead of trying to sweep/sub/scramble.
@ lil' franky standing on his tippy toes when Oliviera got in his face...Frankie's fought taller fighters and he's fought faster fighters...but I don't remember him fighting both at the same time....possible upset alert...but I also could see Frankie getting the ever elusive stoppage tomorrow if he can get to Oliviera's body.
Just admit you werent rooting for him in the first place and keep it movin.I aint into a that pink power stuff but tjis wasnt exactly an azeredo situation.Weidman stepped to him and he didnt budge.Besides if you want to look at it out of the realm of filth & instead poetically it could be seen as a kiss of death.
WTF was going on at Chute box. He just kissed that nikka. Gotta root for Weidman. No respect for fakkits.
This, its so funny how mma fans want to rave/deem guys like sonnen, Griffin or lawlor "characters" for what they say or wear outside the cage. But a guy that always has memorable staredowns and fights is justSilva tried to be respectful but Weidman tried to walk him down
On the low, Silva has the best staredowns in the sport...it's always some type of mind fukkery.
