Silva vs. Weidman
By Scott Keith on 6 July 2013
Hey Scott,
Just wanted your thoughts and predictions for Saturday night? I think Weidman is flying under the radar as a real test for Anderson. Like Chael, he's a strong wrestler which is often pegged as being Silva's weakness. But unlike Chael, he doesn't have pillows for hands. He also possesses a very good submission game. Due to injuries this year and the fact that his biggest win, a devastating knock out of Mark Munoz was buried on FuelTV and their poor viewership, he hasn't been promoted well but I do believe he has a really good shot at dethroning Anderson. With all that said, of course I won't be the least but surprised if Anderson knocks him out in the first round either!

dunno, I just won't believe anyone has a legit shot of beating Silva until it actually happens. I mean, yeah, if Weidman can get him to the ground he can probably control it like Sonnen did in the first fight, but who's to say Silva won't just knock him out standing in the first like usual? My money's still on Silva.
