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.

This is what happens when you ask the pros outside of the UFC marketing blitz.
I can think of 6 reasons playboy. His record doesn't speak for itself.
This thread does more to hype up this fight than UFC has done with whatever ad dollars they have spent.
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.
I disagree with goat forever. Goat status is for your era only. comparing eras is pointless.

It's a legitimate fight, and that goes both ways. Silva wins and his legacy is GOAT status forever.
Beating or Losing to Wideman will have no bearing on his status as GOAT.
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.Beating or Losing to Wideman will have no bearing on his status as GOAT.
It sure will.
Are we going to start poking holes into wins over top guys like Predator Cote, Travis Lutter, Sandman Irvin, and Thales Leites?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.
Losing at 38 years old to a guy who doesn't even have 10 fights, after going undefeated for 7 years, will have no effect.

Last I checked, 38 is still part of your athletic prime.
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.
Do any of you actually bet on the fights with real money? Would be neat to see some big paydays.
Yo this aint the hockey thread but dem posting is always welcome.wrong thead
wolf tickets..
yeah
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.![]()
So it’s time to be stand and be counted:
Heel - “For”
