From a financial stand point that fight would probably sale more with casual fans. Le's name is more marketable. He is an actor, he is a superb striker and he happens to have the name based off a well known video game character. Then you have Weidman who has the potential to make this fight a snooze fest. In addition Silva has more title defenses than Weidman has fights and has nothing to gain by beating him but everything to lose.

Ofcourse not but he is a former champion with a well known name. This would be fantasy fight amongst casuals.

Hell yea he is a champion. Having two champions in the same weight class makes the title disputed and that is a crime imo. Hendricks and everyone else will just have to weight for the division to settle the title disputes 1st. If he complains too bad fucking quit or be a team player.
Noone had any problems with Rampage Jackson fighting Dan Henderson.

Yea a high risk low reward fight with a potentially bad pay day. Only a fool gambles with his career and again Weidman was never officially considered the number 1 contender nor has the UFC told Silva he has to fight Weidman.
Dana White simply said he is in the mix something a few other fighters have been told.
