chanman20 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 its getting annoying seeing this everywhere the only reason Silva stepped up at 153 was to save the card... Use your brain 153 is less then a month away idk about you but if those two fight i want a full camp for both so there's no excuses that they only had a limited amount of time. Also Weidman has beaten 1 person who mattered at MW still not sure why so many people think he should fight Silva, hes going to get wrecked worse then Bisping will. Last but not least Weidman was offered a fight before with Vitor Belfort and asked for Silva so stop saying Silva is ducking Weidman when in fact Weidman has turned down quite a few people to ask for Silva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePack19 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sonnen got offered to fight Jon Jones for a freaking title fight............so Weidman could have gotten a shot at Silva and plenty of people can see it as fair. People KNOW Weidman has a better shot at Silva than Bonnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezerker101 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Weidman looked solid/ well rounded vs MM & a loss to Silva wouldn't hurt him at this stage of his career, Bonnar is a used-up sloth - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People KNOW Weidman has a better shot at Silva than Bonnar. Yeah and everyone knows that Sonnen being offered a shot at LHW when coming off a loss and not even getting 1 win at LHW was ********. And you'd expect the longest reigning, most dominant champ of the history of the sport to put his belt on the line on short notice? Silva said he would fight at 205 because he wouldn't be able to make weight for UFC 153 if it was at 185. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People KNOW Weidman has a better shot at Silva than Bonnar. yeah cause no one else wanted to fight Jones which is why he was stepping up to save the card... and i believe this is about Silva vs weidman nothing to do with Jones or Sonnen stay on topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moony Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Silva - Bonnar is an exhibition not a fight. Anderson the bully only wants these now, not fights. How can you save a card with a joke fight. This ought to be boycotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePack19 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 First...nothing stays on topic in ANY thread......DUH! Second.....My point was Silva and Weidman could have been lined up.....did not say it had to happen at 153. Third....Dana was willing to let Sonnen vs Jones happen....regardless of when this happened.......means Dana could have let Silva vs Weidman happen, not at 151 or 153.......just lined it up on another UFC card. Fourth.....plenty of people would have seen the Silva vs Weidman fight as a good challenge despite others thinking he needed more wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stepped out of his vacations at 153 to save the event so of course it has to be at UFC 153, if it's not then it throws away the whole purpose of it doesn't it?

wedo619 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 You bums need to stop crying.its not a title fight .its not silva's last fight. he was schedualed to return early 2013 so expect to see a title defence january or early febuary.weidman is ducking a number 1 contender match to solidify his spot in line.

MMAJess Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Silva-Bonnar is a far bigger fan draw than Silva-Weidman, and of all the MMA fans I've talked to, nobody is interested in this fight. There would be even less interest for Silva vs. a person most people never heard of. They tried to get a fight together as fast as possible to save the card, and this was the best they could do.
