edh1 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think Weidman presents the best chance in a long long time to dethrone Silva.His wresling is sick ,he's brutally strong,and has good submissions.He would have to get Anderson down, but with his wrestling,i think he has a good chance of doin it.He's a big ****y kid that may not intimidate easy as the others.he's got a long reach too so anderson would not have that advantage for once.Curious any of you guys think he could pull it off or am I nuts?

Yesterdays_Hero Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 He definitely has the best chance of all current Middleweights. I'd love to see that fight if Anderson decides to fight anyone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengu Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Weedman would get knocked out most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Weedman would get knocked out most likely Just like anyone not named Chael P. Sonnen. Weidman deserves the next shot and has the best chance fo sho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostwheel Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think Weidman could definitely provide Silva with quite a challenge. He's a very talented wrestler and has good subs, like you said, and not only is he strong but he's aggressive and, from what I've seen, a fairly accurate striker. If he manages to take Silva down as easily as Sonnen did, he might be able to get a KO/TKO stoppage if he can avoid getting subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12еr Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Weidman can beat him. Not saying he will, but he definitely has all the tools on paper. He needs to take him down, throw bow's and cut him up. Then choke him unconscious. I say unconscious just because we all know Black House doesn't tap.

Decompoze Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 He has a chance but I don't think it's great. Sonnen had the highest probability. Anything can happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaricBob Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If he took Munoz down at will, no doubt he'd take Silva down. Plus he's got better BJJ than Sonnen. He would threaten with subs as well as GnP when puts Silva on his back. His striking also looks better then most guys Silva has faced, but if he stood with Silva he'd likely be put to sleep. If he wasn't a threat, you think Silva would turn it down? The guy wanted to fight Nick Diaz for Christ's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatefightingchamp Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, he could definetly pull it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeStSilva Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Weidmans wrestling looked more slow and cumbersome then other people who have been able to take Anderson down so I'd be interested to see how well he would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Can Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 style wise yes but I have Anderson via KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edh1 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 he has a chance but i don't think it's great. Sonnen had the highest probability. Anything can happen though. really i think weidman is a better grappler andmore dangerous standing, not to mention bigger with a longer reach, i like chael butweidman can finish where chael couldnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
