Vitor Belfort vs. Chris Weidman will be one of the greatest fights we will see in 2014, Belfort has obviously been driven insane by his belief in God and the added bonus of TRT. I for one am glad that Belfort's career can be extended and we can watch him fight.

There was nothing lucky about the check, tho. Weidman wanted Anderson's leg to hit his knee, and it did. It is unfortunate that Anderson broke his leg, but a check like that would have him handicapped for the rest of the fight even if it didn't end there. I believe Weidman was on his way to winning the fight.
Weidman convinced me that he is the best middleweight fighter right now. I don't know about how prime Weidman would have fared against prime Silva (it was clear that Anderson was slowing down since UFC 148, his guard disappointed me yesterday and I didn't see anything suggesting that he is still capable of moving his head and body out of harm's way when clinched with his opponent, an ability that was one of his most reliable assets), but right now, Weidman can beat anyone that makes the cut.
I am sad right now, but thankfully yesterday's horrible lines allowed me to profit 80% of what I invested. That makes it easier. Lol.
