Silva VS Weidman

Also, I don't know if you guys watch Sons of Anarchy but Tig and Juice were there at the afterparty, as well as Mike Miller and one other Miami Heat player. They just wanted to show up to meet and get pics with him which was pretty damn cool.

I disagree. IF you are going to give up on a fight you don't risk a head shot and potentially crippling yourself. Weidman had him in a submission early in the first, if Silva wanted to throw the fight and give up the belt he could have tapped. You are saying he dropped his hands and let himself get knocked out resulting in a concussion? That is beyond absurd. As a fighter you don't take that kind of risk in bodily harm. Had Silva decided he was tired of being the champion..... turn the belt in. Tap when he had the ankle lock set, the crowd doesn't know if he is hurting or not. He took home $600,000 for a loss regardless. Pretty damn good rate for 15 minutes of "work".

My point was never that he threw the fight to get rid of the belt. My point was he has slowly come to the point where he looks as though he could care less about having the title. If he won acting like the show off he had become, people cheered him for it. If he lost the belt doing it, whatever. He no longer has to worry about being constantly badgered about a super-mega-uber fight with GSP or Jones now (according to Dana White at the post conference), so now he can go back to being simply the best fighter he can possibly be and be done with the outside forces trying to push him in 12 different directions.

Look at the Griffin fight. The Sandman fight. The Lieben fight. The two Franklin fights. All incredible displays of a man hell bent on greatness, wouldn't you agree? Now, watch the last three or four title defenses. You'll notice that each and every defense has him becoming a little more reckless, a little more careless and a whole hell of a lot less of the fighter he was before he got the belt.

I take nothing away from Weidman, he showed up ready to get to it and beat a man that not many others could. If a rematch does happen, I look forward to it. It'll definitely be the second biggest fight of the year. Hopefully Silva shows up hungry this time.

Wishing I was there would be an understatement. Was the other Heat player Chris "The Birdman" Anderson(One with all the Tats) by any chance? Have you stopped smiling yet? Tell your cousin to arrange the rematch on Jan 18th that's the same week ShotShow 2014 will be on. Now that's what I would call a "Mancation"!!!!!!


Also congrats is in order to family members!!!!

KP '14, man that is badass that you got to be at the fight AND the Champ is your cousin. Would it be possible to get an autograph from Chris for my 6yr old son?... might be too much to ask but thought I'd try.
 
KP that is cool, I'm sure it was a hell of a experience to watch that live and then get to go celebrate with him. Tell him there are a LOT of proud Americans supporting him. I for one cannot stand Silva, he is arrogant and a show boat. I was literally jumping up and down in my house when Chris connected. If they rematch I think Chris has his number now, it will be much harder for Silva to beat him now that Chris has his methods down pat. He better go ask Dana for a "real tough" opponents like Chris Lieban or some no name dickwad that they were giving him a couple years ago.

Wow that would be awesome!!!! I think I'd be back in school though, I'm just praying it's during one of my vacations. And no, it wasn't the Birdman. I never watch basketball except for this year's playoffs, but I still know "the guy with the crazy mohawk and tattoos up to his neck." Lol.

Blaze I'll see what I can do. I'll be spending more time with them when school starts because it's only about 10 mins from where my aunt and uncle live. He's been ALLLLL over the place since he got back to NY on Sunday, doing dozens and dozens of interviews in the northeast! It's crazy! I'll try to get him at a good time I just have to get a hold of a poster or something for him to sign.

Words cannot even describe KYS! I'm still smiling ear to ear every time I relive that feeling up in the stands. I swear I'm still recovering from losing my voice; never screamed so loud in my life when I saw Silva drop to the mat, and I got SO amped up when Chis jumped on him for the ground and pound!

I was chanting U.....S.....A!!!!!!!! during Frankie Edgar's fight (He's from Jersey) and I started one during the first round of Chris's fight. There were so many Brazilians there it was absolutely necessary to get the USA chants going lol. I was telling everyone USA had a Brazilian buffet that night.

As you guys can tell, I'm super excited about this whole thing. I was shaking during the first round it was so intense, seeing him so ready and focused for the fight.

Also, if you looked closely at the end of the fight you could see his sister (the redhead) jumping up and down frantically ringside and then she ran into the cage haha. That basically sums up how we all felt. He also had a couple hundred friends and coaches there from high school and college supporting him. It was incredible

I dont want to start hearing this "my cousin can beat up your cousin bullshit" now.

Seriously though KP, thats pretty awesome.

As far as Anderson in other fights (Leben, Franklin, Sandman) They are strikers, not wrestlers. He had nothing to worry about but picking his shots. With Wiedman, he had to be worried about being taken out of his game. He tried to keep Wiedman standing by pretty much insulting his striking game and paid for it. I'm still smiling.
 
KP that is awesome!! Let him know we are all very proud of him. I haven't gotten that excited over a UFC fight in a LONG time. I purchase all of them on PPV. I was a Silva fan in the beginning but as he got more and more cocky and the way he presented himself I really disliked him. I was so glad to see him loose the belt, and it couldn't go to a better guy.
 
Yes, the rematch is on! Weidman beat one of the best ever already once this year... if he can pull it off again, it would be one of the craziest things to happen in MMA to do it twice in 6 months. Can't wait for this fight.
