Silva To Chris Weidman 'You Have To Work And Wait For Your Opportunity'

Quote:
This afternoon, all the fighters gathered in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for a conference with Brazilian media. Tatame's Guilherme Cruz posted quotes via his Twitter. First, Cruz reported Anderson Silva's thoughts on his current and possible future opponents:

Quote:
On Chris Weidman

Everything has it’s time. He’ll have his opportunity to fight for the belt. Maybe I fight next before he gets the shot, I lose and he fights someone else. We don’t know. I can fight Bonnar, lose and say: ‘you know what, I don’t want it anymore’. Or maybe I win and way ‘I don’t want this anymore’. Or maybe drop to welterweight or move up to heavyweight. Anything can happen. Every UFC fighter will have their chance. You have to work and wait for your opportunity.

On Georges St. Pierre

I hope that’s my next fight. I believe everybody wants to see that fight

On Stephan Bonnar

I have to be careful. I’ll be heavier, slower and weaker than Bonnar (...) I have to believe I can KO him, but that’s tough. I hope I can do a great good fight for the fans, but that’s not easy

It's like Silva is oblivious to his own journey to a title fight in the UFC. It's also hilarious as pointed out that he'll weigh more than Bonnar yet he is still calling out GSP.

Yea Silva should clearly select another dominant champion that wants to fight him.

I think he just meant heavier then usual, and thus slower than he normally is, but the translation is bad. He is clearly not going to be heavier than Bonnar, as they will probably both weigh in at 205....

Nothing says working and waiting for your opportunity like a victory over Chris Leben...

Wouldn't it have made more sense if Anderson said "Bonnar will be heavier, slower and weaker than me"?

What?

So i'm gathering that maybe Weidman will get his chance some day at the belt but not neccesarily at Silva. Maybe Silva will lose his next fight and not want it? Maybe he will win and still not want it?? But maybe he wants to fight WW or HW??? But he hopes his next fight is with GSP????

and then he says he's heavier and slower than Bonnar??????

Silva really said all of this?

*insert Jackie Chan's wtf is this shit picture*
