i agree, weidman is the closest, but right behind him is bisping and if belcher wins only one more, i can see him getting a shot as well. boetch may be in a "good position" as dana said, but he still needs at least 2 more wins imho to get a crack at the belt.

Is Anderson gonna sit on his thumb for 10 months? Why would you want a stall in the division so that Weidman can be a "legit" contender?

He already is in my opinion. Boetsch and Weidman have equally impressive resumes as of late, yet Weidman tossed Munoz far down the rankings with his decisive finish.

If you disagree because Weidman doesn't have a big enough name... how much will fighting Boetsch increase the exposure of his brand so he is worthy of fighting Silva?

show me where I said he brought his "A" game. Unlike you, I realize the world isn't black and white. I don't live in a world of absolutes.

What I said was that the win wasn't the result of a horrible performance by Munoz, and that it certainly wasn't the worst fight of his life. I said the win should be credited to Weidman for being that much better. He's always been quicker and more explosive than Munoz, and it showed.

Keep telling yourself that was all Weidman. Munoz looked like shit against Weidman... period
Keep telling yourself that Weidman isn't any good, and that he only looks good against weak opponents. That way when he beats Anderson, you can somehow try to convince yourself that Silva lost to a weak fighter.

Actually, that's what you'd do anyway, so it's a moot point. In your fantasy world, poor Anderson will have had a hangnail, or a toothache, or a shattered femur going into the bout or something, and bravely fought through it, against doctor's orders.

I got it, I just couldn't format the post the way I wanted to, and wanted to leave it in for context.

But any champion who tries to pick fights does not have a champion's heart, regardless of what they do in the cage.

Weidman is the most deserving at this point. It all depends on when Anderson wants to fight next, weather another fight will need to happen...
I'd be stupid to believe anything dana says, but he indicated Anderson wants to get right back in...so if it's one of the times dana isn't full of shit, we could see it by the fall.

I think it would play into his favor, actually. If he's healthy--and he didn't seem to take any damage at all in the sonnen bout--I'd advise him to face Weidman sooner rather than later. The kid is a dangerous matchup for him stylistically, and more experience is only going to narrow the gap in their skillsets.

In my opinion, it would do a lot for his image to ask for the fight to happen November-ish...

Not another one of your famous "Tender Ribs" claim...

So I guess Shogun and Hendo can be injured, but the 1 time Anderson said he was...

QUOTED THE WRONG PART.... you were insinuating to the ribs clearly...

Yes also with Anderson's age... Wideman just passes the eye test. He will dominate at MW for years to come. He improves a lot from fight to fight and has a great wrestling base...

Its not as simple as being a good wrestler however. Sonnen's style is very straight forward... He knows he will take some shots in order to get inside...

Which is why Anderson vs. GSP is so intriguing.... GSP has an excellent shot, but he likes to set his shots up and work from range. He would be very tentative to throw anything at Anderson or move in. Not sure he has the durability either...

WTF are you talking about?

I'm not saying anything about Anderson's ribs here...I'm talking about what dana stated Anderson's intentions allegedly are.

Are you so pathetically super-sensitive that you can't even read?

I prefer fights to have as much hype and interest in them as possible. I enjoy it more when the media picks up on it and more casual fans get into a matchup. Right now Weidman won't generate that much hype against Silva. Give him another fight or so and he will. Let him destroy another big name and spend the time before and after that building his name up. Otherwise, to the casual fan, it will seem just like another body the tossed to Silva to get destroyed.

I'm not a fan of melodrama, but I like fights to generate legitimate momentum, and this matchup has the potential to do so.

I'd like to see Weidman get one more as well, but I think it comes down to whether dana is full of shit or not when he says Anderson wants to fight right away.
