DelRose, Weidman has already said that Anderson is the greatest of all time. He just believes he is the greatest right now.

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Again, I think Weidman's chance here is age and confidence. I don't think Silva would risk coming out of form, though. That's why I favor Silva.

Plus, Chael Sonnen had all the confidence in the world. He still lost. Twice.

I'm not so sure Chael's confidence was all genuine.

Chael and confidence shouldn't be in the same sentence. As Jon Jones said, he is a "mental midget". He is a great fighter, tends to have good gameplans and his wrestling is fantastic, but he either has the upper hand during the entire fight or he loses. Chael has never made a comeback, and when things start getting out of control he despairs.

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

There does seem to be a difference between Sonnen's showmanship/boasting and Weidman's quiet, intense confidence, but those are definitely things you can't measure. I've said it before, but I'd really have liked to see Weidman fight one or two top contenders before getting in there with the champ. Maybe guys like Belfort and Bisping. 

Still think he presents the most legit threat to his title in some time though. Perhaps since Dan Henderson, off the top of my head. But I've gotten my hopes up too high before. My latest strategy is to pick against the guy I really want to get the upset. That way, if Silva wins I get points and look smarter, but if Weidman wins I'll be pleasantly pleased to be wrong.

"HE WILL! 27% Believe".

I think 27% believe that he will defeat Anderson Silva. Many more people are buying into the hype, myself included. Chris is definitely a legit contender and he will eventually be MW champion, but he isn't taking the belt from Anderson. At least not this time.

Impossible. He made a 1 year A/V bet with me on this fight. And refuses to take me up on it and denies ever even saying it EVEN THOUGH I have proof.

My proof is all here. We had a 1 year sig bet on this fight (http://li362-189.members.linode.com/forum/open/187662?page=34) and then he denies we ever did (http://www.tapology.com/forum/open/472909-How_******_up_would_UFC_s_plans_be_if_Anderson_Sil?page=1#post-473057)
