"Not one of them stepped up"

I really wish these fighters would stop bad mouthing Chael for getting this title shot. He stepped up, they didn't. The karate kid wouldn't fight Jon Jones, Dan Henderson injured himself and didn't tell the UFC until eight days before the fight and all the rest of them are either booked or running away from Jones.

Did Henderson really think he was getting a title match after the UFC 151 incident?

Did Machida really think he was going to get a THIRD chance after turning down the rematch with Jon Jones?

It makes me laugh when these guys get mad about stuff like this. Chael may talk some crap but he's always ready to fight anyone at anytime. So very excited for this fight.

such an embarrassing opinion. almost as bad as when people thought Sonnen would destroy Silva in their second bout. everyone always says 'insert latest opponents name' will destroy Silva then Silva beats them w/ease.

I still wonder why people doubt the greatest fighter of all time. Anderson has proven time and time again that he can beat anyone they put him up against. He beat Sonnen, Griffin, Bonnar, Henderson, Belfort and Cote (). Why do people still doubt this man?

If Weidman does get a shot at Anderson I think it's going to be the same result as all the rest. Anderson is walking out with the title and another win that strengthens the case that he's the GOAT.

lol Weidman isn't beating Anderson. Weidman is overrated as fuck. And Anderson is GOAT right now, easily, but I do believe Jones is on track to surpass him.

I like Weidman. Guy has mad talent. His striking is improving, and he has great wrestling. Anderson beats him, but I wouldn't mind seeing Weidman getting a shot at him.

I like Weidman but saying he could beat Silva based on a grappling match he had back in 09 is asinine. Especially as he got caught in an omoplata then an armbar like 30 seconds into the match. He did get a d'arce choke which is very impressive considering Galvao is a beast, but its one thing to get a bloke in a submission in a grappling tourney and doing it in a fight when you can get hit.

I don't mind Weidman and he hasn't been doing MMA long and he has some great wins but lets be real... He isn't beating Anderson Silva, not now, not ever... Unless they fight when Andersons like 50.

I usually hate the whole nuthugger/hater thing that internet MMA fans seem to be obsessed with but you'd have to REALLY underrate Silva to say those kind of things. I didn't hear anybody saying these things before Silva beat Sonnen and I don't think beating Munoz shows he would beat Silva. Seems like hopeful thinking to me.

Weidman-Bisping would be a great contenders match and although I'll probably get stick here I'd take Bisping. The Sonnen fight proved he is very hard to take down and even harder to keep down. With the way Weidman has been talking (Silva ducking him etc) I'd say he needs a loss anyway to deflate his head a bit a la Erick Silva.

The Macau card actually looks pretty sick. And it's always great to see Rich fight. One of my most favorite fighters ever.
