Anderson Silva's Next Fight Scheduled For This Spring

[No More Sorrow]

Did you guys read about Ed Soares and Silva saying they'd be interested in a fight with Cung Le, before a fight with Chris Weidman? :

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

To be fair Cung Le's a movie star, Weidmans problem is he's a nobody that couldn't sell a Fox card let alone a PPV.

 

[Deezy]

Ansderson is in money making mode.

Weidman isn't going to get him money. And him taking on Bonnar on short notice to save a PPV, puts him in prime position to do what he wants in the UFC's eyes.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Exactly. Silvas nearing the end, why take a fight with some kid only hardcore fans know about, especially when most hardcore fans just watch a stream so you dont make much money out of them.

 

[The Cork]

Cheers Rashad for fucking up the base.

Now we have to deal w/ Chris WeidBUM getting TKO R1'd. Ugh.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Hating on Weidman for no reason is always amusing. Unlike Sonnen, he actually knows how to strike and has vicious ground & pound. It should be an exciting fight, can't wait till Weidman shuts critics up with a good performance even if he does get knocked out.

 

[The Cork]

He's beat nobody and had one of the most boring fights in UFC history with Maia, "no reason" is slightly false.

Bisping had to fight a murderers row of guys compared to him. I guess nothing surprises me in the UFC nowdays, Joe silva is a horrible booker of fights and theres clear bias with some guys.

Cheers Rashad for fucking up the base.

Now we have to deal w/ Chris WeidBUM getting TKO R1'd. Ugh.

Ah well at least all the morons can stop claiming that Silva's scared of Weidman now. He wasn't scared of any of the other near on 40 guys he's faced but an average wrestler with decent BJJ that can land an elbow has Silva shitting his pants apparently...

 

[Slim]

Wow I'm looking at his record and he literally has defeated nobody. I mean unless you wanna try to make a case for Maia... which... you might as well not. Just don't. Then Mark Munoz... yeah once again don't.

Those are the two biggest names on his record. Why in the world would Silva be the least big concerned about this guy. He'd prob give him the Bonnar treatment and stand right in front of him and give him a chance before he gets bored and says... okay time to finish this.

Silva needs a real challenge. Not some guy with only 9 wins on his record. I'd still rather see Bisping get a shot over him. Shoot... Give me Belfort before Weidman.

Cheers Rashad for fucking up the base.

Now we have to deal w/ Chris WeidBUM getting TKO R1'd. Ugh.

Before and even during his fight I was thinking of how great it would be if Rashad dropped down to face Silva. Can't believe he managed to lose to Lil Nog especially when it went to the judges and wasn't even a finish. Massive screw up by him and at best has delayed a potential super fight for another year or two.

 

[The Cork]

Anderson has had problems with strong wrestlers in the past, Hendo and Sonnen took rounds off him and Travis Lutter looked decent until the inevitable happened so Rashad would of been an intriguing fight.

I just don't see how you can get a shot at the title by beating Mark Munoz whos a fringe top 10 guy at max. Don't forget Weidman was meant to fight Tim Boestch at UFC 155 so clearly the UFC didn't think he was ready.

Can't wait for these rankings to be absorbed so we can see how skewed they really are.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Munoz was only ranked highly because Silva had dispatched everyone else, Munoz has never beaten anyone, only wanna be kickboxer Maia is worth mentioning. 90% of the top MWs would beat Munoz on their worst day but Weidman absorbed Munoz's hype and got super hype. Dana did everything he could not to put a nobody like Weidman in a Title fight with Silva but all his other plans lost; Lombard, Bisping, Shad. Hopefully they fight soon and Silva can move on to a decent fight that matters.
