I'm hoping for a 4th round TKO victory for Weidman. Probably not going to happen because Anderson could walk on water if he really wanted to. Safe bet is on Anderson winning by TKO in round 2.
Weidman wont win. Read so many posts on mmaforum that favour Weidman over Silva. They cannot see Silva winning and he's past it. but they're mongs. they also thought Sonnen stood a chance against Jones and were adamant that Silva would lose second time round and still argue the merits of that fight.
I am 99% confident Silva is winning. If Weidman grinds out Silva I wouldn't be surprised, the only way I'll be surprised is if Weidman KO/TKO's Silva. It's funny that how so many haters count out Silva after every fight.
Silva smashes Weidman in the 2nd. Possibly 3rd. Said this since it was announced.
On a lighter note, some dude taps to a Sharpshooter in this clip:
Starts at 6:01. Not EXACTLY a Sharpshooter, but close enough. I've often wondered why no one has made someone tap out with a Boston Crab yet. Shoot a double on a guy, stand up from his guard, get both ankles and shoot his legs up a bit and catch him at the knees, lift and turn. I've done it in BJJ class myself and some guys on the other side of the room started to chant "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" :lmao
Faber can probably beat anyone in Bantamweight except Barao. I'd pick him against Dominick at this point as well. I'd still be interested in a rematch between Barao and Faber though because Coach Ludwig has been tearing it up at Team Alpha as of late.
Ludwig isn't changing shit at alpha male until we see them in title fights. They were dominating non title fights before Ludwig got there. Neither Faber, Benavidez or Mendes have a UFC loss in a non title fight. Ludwig wasn't there for most of those fights.
Faber, Mendes, and Benevidez were definitely winning fights before Ludwig began coaching, but not in as impressive fashion as they are now. For example, Mendes was grinding people out to win decisions, but is now a consistent finisher by knocking out his last 3 opponents within 2 minutes of the fight.
Mendes only had one fight under Ludwig though. Faber has been finishing everyone in non title fights for years except Wineland. Benavidez has been more aggressive ever since he dropped to 125 in general. I'm not saying Ludwig sucks. I'm just saying until these guys are in title fights he can't get credit for much.
Apparently the MGM already sold $2.5 million worth of tickets as of 3 weeks ago. And it's exceeding the sales of UFC 160 and 155 thus far. I expect a $3-4 million dollar gate come fight night. Considering it's Weidman, that is a very very solid number. Looks like the UFC hype machine is doing it's job well.
I wouldn't say Ludwig has done fuck all. He's cleaned up their striking a bit but to say that he's the sole reason they have been doing well since he got there isn't a fair statement.
The hype for Weidman is getting ridiculous.
