You don't have to be a troll to see Weidman is extremely talented as far as his overall game.

I agree, friend. It's not trolling if you believe it to be true, and it's definitely not trolling when it's revealed that you were right all along.
 
Couldn't this essentially have been said about any person that fought Anderson?

"Well, what if they shock the world?"

And then they get their asses handed to them. I don't see any reason why Weidman would be any different.


I can think of 6 reasons playboy. His record doesn't speak for itself.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Is that statement pro- or anti-Weidman in this matchup? Weidman's resume definitely doesn't speak for itself. It's not all that impressive, especially if you actually saw the fights for yourself.

This thread does more to hype up this fight than UFC has done with whatever ad dollars they have spent.

Perhaps bish, who cleaned out the viral marketers on the gaming side, should check for "@serrabjj.com" and "@zuffa.com" email addresses too.

This guy is bigger than Silva, this guy is strong, has some of the best wrestling and submission skills you can find in the UFC..... and father time is undefeated.

It's a legitimate fight, and that goes both ways. Silva wins and his legacy is GOAT status forever.

Joe Whiteman won't be an agreeable champion until he bites his tongue off in practice and they're forced to have Matt Serra do the talking for him. I respect the FOR movement, but I can't be part of it at this stage.

Chamber, do you have some Windex friend? I'm going to need to knock some dust off and analyze a career from my rear view mirror after tomorrow night.

Are we going to start poking holes into wins over top guys like Predator Cote, Travis Lutter, Sandman Irvin, and Thales Leites?


Better win American Psycho Bonnar or Zuluhino?

In this thread Weidman fans sell wolf tickets. He caught Munoz and didn't look that great in a win over Damian Maia, who else has he fought? He won't be able to take Spider down the entire fight, and the second that's the case he's going to have his soul devoured like so many men before him.

Spider by Tiger Knee combo in the 3rd.
 
His resume speaks for itself. Freddy Lenko handed over the goat title to silver, and bones likely will take the title when spider silver moves on.

Doesn't matter, Silva really needs to win this if 10 years from now he wants people to remember him as GOAT.

He will have beaten the biggest up and coming talent of the division at 38. If he loses, he's just another dude who went around recycling aluminum and made a lot of money doing so.

Who we crappin? Half the dudes he beat wouldn't make it to contender status these days. The other half went back to their day jobs.

Here's the thing no name, Weidman doesn't need to spend 5 rounds on top of Silva. He ain't about dat GSP shit.

He should be, since the only type of gameplan that could lead him to victory is the kind where he's specifically trying to win a decision. So yes, I expect a lot of GSP's patented play passive for the first 4 minutes then score a takedown in the final 60seconds strategy.

Weidman doesn't walk around with pillow fists, and if he gets full mount like Sonnen did he's taking an arm home with him.

love on your sleeve
Can Crusher is right here. Anyone who thinks Weidman's plan is to lay in Silver's guard for 25 minutes is exposing themselves.

I think it is time to draw the digital line. Chris Weidman will be fighting on Saturday and I think there is going to be a lot of trolls crying here. Either way when he fights this forum will likely be on fire. So in order to try to put it out some gasoline on this fire I will ask those interested to stand up and be counted.

I feel Chris Weidman is a great fighter, likely to be better than most that will come out this year. I certainly feel it is the best middleweight we have ever seen. I also believe the press and UFC fans alike will believe this. This puts me in the “For” camp.

I know there are many who feel strongly in opposite camp. I also would ask you to stand up and say “Against”.

When the fighter steps in the cage and everyone watches all the speculation will be over. If I am wrong and fight fans in general think Chris Weidman is “crap” then I am comfortable with getting tagged “Owned by The Spider”.

However, if I am right and he is received well, I would like to see those “Against” to be tagged with “Owned by Heel”.

I would like to make a honorary invitation to EvilLore and TheNaturall who help fuel the fire on a regular basis – assuming you both would be “Against”. In the end though, it is your decision and I want to remind everyone that I have an advantage of actually knowing Chris Weidman will win.

I invite anyone who seeing someone trolling Chris Weidman in other threads to point them here. :D

So it’s time to be stand and be counted:

Heel - “For”

So are you betting that Weidman will just be "well received" or are you betting that he wins. Your post seems to hedge a little! :p

edit: OMG, the joke FLEW RIGHT OVER MY HEAD!
