Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

An interesting matchup for sure, it's hard to pick against Anderson Silva, but Chris Weidman has had a lot of crap happen to him over the last few months so I am pulling for him.

"anderson has no chance"

You can't really believe that can you?

I mean I can see that maybe Weidman can win this fight (I don't think he will) but saying Anderson has no chance given his past record is silly!

Chris Weidman ‏@ChrisWeidmanUFC

Anderson says I'm just a "kid" then he should have no problem dominating me and moving on to his next opponent, right? So what's the problem

Prediction: correct Weidman   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

If Weidman can control Silva on the ground like Sonnen did than he should have no problem winning this fight.
I think if anyone in the MW division can beat Silva right now it is Weidman.

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I see no compelling evidence that suggests Weidman will win this fight.

It'll be business as usual, Weidman may have a few moments early where he works from Silva's guard but eventually Silva will do something spectacular and get the finish.

Silva is without question the GOAT but he's getting up there in age and Weidman is a terrible stylistic matchup for him.

I'm shocked at all the Weidman love. Silva by KO via knees.

No way does Weidman got the skils to hang with Silva. I mean he is talented but he is nowhere near besting one of the best p4p fighters in UFC history. Silva will stuff takedowns and pick him apart en route to KO win. Weidman will win the MW belt I'm sure at some point in his future, but not while the Spider is around...

Prediction: wrong Silva   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I can't see Weidman controlling him for 5 rounds. If he wins it would be a sub, probably off his admittedly strong front headlock chokes.

That said, I think Jacare is possibly Silva's worst matchup. Though they're teammates so idk if they'd fight. I think Jacare has better standup than Weidman, obviously better jiu-jitsu, and his TD's are elite for a jiu-jitsu player.

Weidman is not one to "control" anybody. He goes for the kill. Jacare's striking is nowhere near Silva's level. I think that fight ends in the first or second. Weidman's size alone offers the better fight, IMO.
