If Anderson Silva's leg had taken Weidman seriously and not clowned around, he would have won.

Too soon?

Anderson Silva totally fixed that fight.  It was all part of the plan for his leg to snap in half on Weidman's check.  Bleacher Report told me so.

Credit should be given to Weidman at some point though. That really was a spot on check, you can see it by looking at the replay. Very clear that he spent time working on that.

I don't think he realized how hurt Anderson was which is why he celebrated and then quickly dropped his hands and stopped once he came full circle and saw Anderson laying on the ground.
