Comparing Weidman-at-a-potential-back-to-back-losses to present day Palhares is stupid. Rousimar has lost, what, 3 out of his last six and has never beaten a top 10 fighter in his career. Nevermind the fact that he tested hot after his last fight. Even then, I wouldn't call Palhares "fad[ed] into obscurity." It wouldn't surprise me if he's on a main card for his next fight, particularly if his opponent is a gamer. Even if he wasn't, if he wins his next fight, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't a main-carder again after dropping two and winning just one.
You made a dumb comment, you should just suck it up instead of trying to dig your way out with even dumber comments, and then to follow it up with kneejerk fanboy-loveblind bullshit about "dooode, I hope you're not pretending Anderson is afraid."
No, I didn't say that Anderson was afraid of Wiedman. I'm not going to play that game that fanboys love to obsess over. I'm not going to pretend that I have some secret insight into Silva's hopes, dreams and fears.
I'm dealing in facts. I said Anderson stated that he that he doesn't want to fight him. To my knowledge, he--personally--has never said that about another fighter, ever, in his career; never mind one who has been called the #1 contender in the MW division by dana white. He certainly hasn't said anything like that about a guy with just a bit more than a handful of fights like Weidman has.
I don't really care why he said it, the fact that he did is a huge point that is often overlooked by the very stupid [and entirely untenable on both sides] argument you just tried to interject. Minimally, that means Chris has caught the eye of the champion with just 5 fights in the UFC, and the champ is not eager to face him.
I also said I believe Anderson would win--although I'd bet that only giving him 7 out of 10 is an affront to the more love-blind of his cheering fanboys--and that the fact that Anderson doesn't want to face him is perhaps the best thing you can say about Chris's potential at this point in his career.

"Minimally, that means Chris has caught the eye of the champion with just 5 fights in the UFC, and the champ is not eager to face him."
That right there to me sounds idiotic. I think its pretty straight forward that Silva gains nothing out of fighting Weidman and that is why he doesn't want the fight. I see no other reason for him not to want that fight.
I'll admit my wording might have gotten out of hand, but, I stressed my point pretty clearly last time that this is a risky fight for Weidman and that I think he would be better off by having one more win under his belt.
My point about Munoz stands... Im not shitting on Munoz, others are, there is no denying that. After Silva beat Maia people shit on Maia, hell people still say that Andersons resume is padded and they always thrown Maias name on the padded list... Again Im not making this shit up. Belfort however was embarrassed by Silva but yet people dont tend to throw him in the "padded" list because he has a lot of big wins and achievements under his belt, and I thought I made it clear that I was saying that if Weidman goes out there and gets another solid win he would have more to fall back on, in case he loses to Silva, instead of simply falling into Silva's padded resume...
Which makes me curious, if you are one who thinks Silva's Resume is weak?
Also, not sure you were implying that I'm a Silva fanboy. But just to clarify, I would say I'm not even a fan of Silva. Just don't understand how someone can deny him number one p4p.
On a separate note, I read in another thread that on paper Rashad should wreck Silva. I can't even begin to wrap my head around that. That to me makes absolutely no sense. I don't understand how anyone could even argue that. How can someone on paper wreck, not just win, but wreck the most dominant champion in history. What is this paper he is referencing???? And my point with this is, to me it sounds idiotic, it sounds insane, but... not gonna call him an idiot...
