UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman

[The Cork]

Dana jews the fighters again, no surprises there.

Weidman needs Wanderlei's agent. $250k to show, yet has a > 0.5 record in the UFC.

last time Silva kissed is opponent, he lost

 

[Tapout]

I love seeing streaks end, and upsets, so I'm hoping Weidman wins here. Also the pay difference is insane. But you can bet if he can pull out this win his numbers are going to go up by a lot.

 

[The Cork]

Barboza with TKO via leg kicks, impressive.

Ed Herman is a bum and I'd expect him to be cut now.

Looking forward to Siver/Swanson!

 

[Kassidy]

Late stoppage much? Herb must not like siver

 

[The Cork]

Total fluke.

Oh my goodness. I'm still in disbelief Anderson just got knocked the fuck out. Good lord.

Creds to Chris Weidman. All I gotta say. He's the man. He's a good guy who deserves the belt and personally I think his reign will be long.

Anyways what happens to Anderson now?? I think if he's got 10 fights left he should just YOLO it and do a bunch of superfights, I know A LOT of people including me still want to see him fight

Guess I gotta change my avatar now!

 

[Kassidy]

Super LOL Time!

Heh... got back from Buffalos... had to gauge facebook first before coming here... but HOLY SHIT!

I mean the prelims were aight. Winning by leg kicks was good. The Swanson fight was good. After that I started dozing, then the other guy at the table started dozing. Just waiting for the main event and we watched... Silva clown the first round. I was thinkin he was bout to pull another Bonnar win over him.

Then the guy at the table was talkin bout how he keep doin that he gonna get clocked.

Well... foreshadowing much? Second round begins and Silva is clowning Weidman and gets caught. The place first is quiet and then it explodes. I'm like... mouth agape cause I didn't even know what to say. I had to see the replay to make sure I saw what I saw... and indeed... I just saw... Silva get knocked the fuck out.

That was just insane. You had folks cheerin and folks booin. They were so loud I couldn't even hear the post fight talks so we all left... but MANNNNNNNN... Silva lost? Silva lost? Really? I just watched Anderson Silva lose? Via KO? To Weidman?

Guarantee you not many knew who Weidman was before this fight but now... EVERYONE is gonna know who Chris Weidman is.

Hopefully Silva doesn't take a Fedor turn. But that does leave to question what is Silva gonna do now? He says he doesn't want to fight for the middleweight title so is he gonna move up? Move down? Cause there aren't really any other middleweight fights unless we get Silva/Vitor II

 

[MaNonTheMoon]

Man.......The End of a near what? Seven-Eight years of dominance? I never thought dude would ever get beat.

But all I got to say is, I hope Weidman doesn't get caught on his next fight. If he does, the word "Fluke" is gonna be thrown around a lot.

Well,Atleast Something Big Happen For My 1st UFC Show Though My BF Is Still Pissed lol.

 

[PHX]

Just watched the K.O and man that showmen stuff finally caught up to Silva. Totally backfired tonight and should be interesting to say the least to see where Chris and Anderson both go on from here esp Anderson.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Still in disbelief, a UFC hype train for once payed out.

 

[Troy]

This is Silva's Serra moment. I guess that he was eventually going to get caught out toying with opponents but this is crazy. Can't believe that Silva has actually been defeated in UFC and has lost that title.

Screws up the Jones super fight.

Fair play to Weidman, but Silva was far too full of himself. It's one thing doing the insane head movement, but all the rest of the theatrics were just embarrassing and he got what he rightfully deserved. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance and I think he overstepped it last night and in turn lost his streak and the chance of the super fights.
