Chris Weidman: 'I'll finish Anderson Silva' (Video)

Print"I think with a full camp, I'll finish him. Obviously I'm not fighting Anderson Silva next, but if I was, that would be my prediction. I'm confident with myself, you have to be as a fighter. I have a lot of respect for Anderson Silva, I think he's awesome. I don't know who I'm fighting next, I don't know when. I was hoping to fight in May, because that's in New Jersey and it's another FOX card. I would love to be on FOX again. But it's wherever the UFC feels I'm at. I'm down."
Undefeated middleweight contender Chris Weidman, who inserted himself into "the mix" by huffing and puffing his way past Demian Maia at the UFC on FOX 2 event last month in Chicago, feels confident that with a full and proper training camp, he would not only defeat reigning 185-pound champion Anderson Silva, but finish him in the process. Anyone think the "All American" is getting a little too big for his britches? Or can he use his wrestling and jiu-jitsu to eventually finish what Chael Sonnen started?

I clearly didnt learn my lesson the first time, The Pride has smashed me AGAIN. My excess estrogen has destroyed my life, I make Chaz Bono look like a real man"
i think he means sexually
no way he means in the cage

yeh..
He dropped somewhere around 25 lbs, but surviving an oddly gassed Maia doesn’t entitle Chris to that statement. Unless he throws an “eventually” somewhere, as in “I’ll eventually get to the point in my career where I will finish Anderson Silva” he’s just talking bullshit.

in like 13 years when Anderson is 50, he can make that statement

Well, anybody who knows me knows I'm no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true. Or what did or didn't happen.
its good to be confident in yourself
But somethings are better left unsaid and this weidman quote is one of those things

Correct
Keep this talk within your camp. When the public hears it, they think you are a fucking idiot, especially coming off the Maia performance that is still fresh on everyones mind.

he got a top 10 win
it was ugly, but after his next fight, asuming he impresses as much as he dod form his fights before Maia, no one will care about him gassing and only point to the Maia win as a good win over a tough opponent.
We, as MMA fans, are fickle you know.

He has to have a great performance to erase that debacle.My opinion is he will be a mid-tier MW.Small chance he wins a title at the highest level of the sport.

He is still young, the champ is 36
and no one between AS and Weidman have a huge advantage over him in skill sets. There are also only afew bright prospects behind him, but none so bright.
I see him being the champ shortly after AS retires, or beating him in a rematch after getting trounced the first time helping him into retirement in 3 years.

I am not convinced Chael is the same without 4x the dose.
I would think very long and hard before I made a prediction against Weidman, with a full camp, against anyone but AS right now. I would favor the guys you named, but in 2 years I won’t.

not really
he was a very average wrestler until his re-emergance in the UFC after the WEC folded the 185 class. I can’t discount the use of TRT as the main reason for his “growth”. Considering he pissed 4x hot for Silva, and looked pedestrian against Bisping, I am not sure that his fights against Okami, Marquardt and Miler were not anomalies and not the norm.
On paper, Weidman has the wrestling chops to hang with Sonnen, but not Sonnen juiced up.

I never recall chael being an average wrestler
I’ve watch the majority of his matches and they consist of him outwrestling/grappling his opponent having trouble with submission defense and throwing tons of strikes..

obviously im biased
but i dont see how he loses to either on the heels of a full camp
If you think, you are late

And if you tire, you die
You see him controlling Bisping on the ground or outstriking him?
Bis is VERY hard to keep down.

I remember when Hendo said his style was the style to beat Anderson and everyone ate it up
And then Anderson ate him up in the second round and that talk ended quick…
Then Chael brought him into hot waters and that talk resumed…well, after Anderson mauls Chael in Brazil I wonder if some of these guys calling him out will still be confident (cue Maia and Wiedman)

Chael does have the best style to beat silva
That doesn’t mean he will beat silva.Strong wrestling base and top control and a pressuring style offense is ideal vs silva.What,is someone going to outstrike silva??

Weidman can be just as smothering, but with a greater eye for finishing.
He did after all beat Phil Davis in the NCAA’s.
Give him time.

Yea and Phil Davis is a better NCAA wrestler than Rashad too, he was supposed to RAPE Rashad if it turned into a wrestling match...how did that work out in their fight?
He ended up in the crucifix position like 3 times getting his face pounded in…NCAA bullshit don’t transfer when you have to go through punches to attempt a double leg

Not sure who said that, but it wasn't me
Rashad has the best functional wrestling in MMA. I have said that for years.
But we need a barometer for skill levels. The NCAA’s provide us with one, just like Mundials or ADCC does for BJJ, K-1 does for kickboxing and gold gloves does for boxing.
It is all relevant to a prospect, but they still need to prove it in their transition to MMA.

But hearing about a fighter that beat 19-20 year old college kids in wrestling 6 or 7 years ago gets irrating.The whole lead up to the rashad vs phil fight and even lesnar vs overeem..

They (the UFC) need to convince everyone that the fight is not really a squash match
people cling to any hope when the fighter in question (Shad) creates controversy and is not 100% likeable.
Same with Bones. And Anderson. And GSP. It is called promoting for a reason.
When the fans are clinging to events from 6 years past, they have bought the hype. Hell, I do it with Nick Diaz, lol.

Yea cause in that Bisping fight he totally looked like a guy that could beat Andy..gtfo..he only had one takedown in 15 minutes where he could hold bisping down
And STILL ended the fight with Bisping on top of him throwing bows while he cowered like a child..
You think THAT guy can beat Andy? Bisping gave him everything he could handle

Chael is going to have to spend more time on the feet

Unfortunately he’s not even close to becoming a contender.

5, 6, 4 . . . that's 1 TOO MANY
Yeah he defeated Demian Maia. Great. He took the fight on short notice and made the best of his opportunity.
Think about this for second.
How many times will Anderson Silva’s shoulder or knees allow him to fight this year or the next?
List of opponent ahead of Weidman:
- Chael Sonnen
- Dan Henderson
- Munoz
- Bisping
- Belfort. Yes, Vitor Belfort vs. Silva in Brazil.
- GSP has a better chance getting an opportunity than Weidman.
- Rashad Evans or (any other LHW with a name) can go down and skip Weidman)
Weidman still has to face and beat the Palhares, Belchers and Tim Boetschs of the MW division.
That seems like he is very close to getting a shot and is already a contender.
Sorry, respectfully, fall back.

alrighty, well
weidmans already ahead of boetch, so lets kill that noise…palhares vs. belcher has already been signed, so thats gonna knock one more person behind him as well, hopefully palhares…chael is already the next fight for silva, so you cant really say that hes ahead of him in the sense your saying it, because he doesnt have to beat sonnen out for the next shot; sonnen has this one…hendo is at 205 these days with no intentions of dropping…munoz, bisping, and belfort i will give you, unless one of them loses, which is possible…the GSP-silva fight unfortunately wont happen…and the whole LHW dropping down scenario is all speculation…chris is 2 impressive wins, or just 3 decent wins away from a shot
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
I could see that
But on the flip side, if he loses his next fight and you consider his previous fight with Maia, he could find himself on the prelims.

its a fickle business…that analysis was based on the fair assumption that chris stays undefeated for a bit
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
yeah, good break down but . . .
that’s still 1 too many people ahead of him. This whole scenario of course is speculation. When Dana White or anyone says a fighter is in the mix, they’re basically saying let’s talk about this after:
- You get a few more wins.
- the top guys (#1, 2, 3, and the champ) or the guys that matter “sort themselves out”
- “That seems like he is very close” keyword = seems
hendo is at 205 these days with no intentions of dropping
Dan Henderson has been saying that the only reason for him to drop to 185lbs. is to face Anderson Silva.

but hes not gonna get an immediate title shot
theyre not just going to give him silva, so hes not going to drop
If you think, you are late

The only way Henderson fights at 185 . . . is if it is against Silva.
- If Rashad gets injured on his way to Atlanta, the UFC will go with Henderson
- If Sonnen gets injured on his way to Brazil, the UFC will go with Henderson . . . if he has time to cut the weight.
Considering the last time Henderson was in the UFC at middleweight, and his recent fights outside of the UFC (notwithstanding losing to Jake Shields)
Remember he beat Franklin, Palhares and Bisping.
Henderson will get the title. Dana White clearly said, if Sonnen did not win, they probably would have gone with Henderson.

Good points, but Henderson on short notice (if sonnen gets hurt) has no shot at beating Silva!
I don’t even think that Dana would do that bc Dan at 185 has no cardio, esp on short notice. Silva would just dance around for a round or 2 then finish him.
No way are Rashad or Vitor ahead of Weidman. In terms of MW contenders it is Chael then Munoz. Then Weidman is on par with Bisping since Bisping is coming off a loss.
I wouldn’t argue that they’re ahead of Weidman, I’m just saying that I’m 100% sure that they can get a title shot before Weidman.
Yes, Vitor Belfort can get another title shot.

IMO Silva doesn't fight long enough to face Vitor again. I see 2 maybe 3 more fights left for him.
He’s getting up there in age and now these injuries? I hope he goes out without a UFC loss. His reflexes should be slowing down by now and that’s why he’s so much better than EVERYONE in his stand-up. Most people think that a wrestler will beat him (if he gets beat) I think it’s a striker if he stays around too long.

i dont need to make any
look at his record…you have any excuses for there being a big fat 0 in the L column?…rationality doesnt work with you, which shocks me because youre actually a fairly normal guy…but if someone brings up a fair point that doesnt coincide with your opinion, you just make a snarky comment and mock it…do you do that in real life? or just here when you dont have to look the person your being a douche to in the eyes?
If you think, you are late

You might want to iron those panties
And please tell me how your comment can be anything but an excuse. Excuses for a poor performance don’t go over very well in MMA. Did you see the reaction Diego received when he mentioned his ankles?
And what is this “real life” talk? Do you like want to come fight me now? Is that where you are going with this? Really? And are you insinuating that you are some gnarly bad ass looking dude that strikes fear into all mere mortals by just looking them in the eyes? I mean, wtf?
And maybe I do act like a douche on here sometimes for laughs, big deal. Oh, and FYI, every comment you’ve made here in regards to your real life tells the same story – that you really are a douche, you fucking douche!

i didnt say theyre always reasons
sometimes theyre excuses too…i think “i had to cut over 25 pounds in 10 days” is more of a reason than “i took this fight hurt too, just like the past 17”
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
so therefore
FOX is a viable option…
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
Too much exposure on FOX to risk having Weedman stink up the joint again
I haven’t looked closely at the numbers, but I’d imagine a lot of first time fans changed the channel during the 3rd round of that fight and never came back.

i dont know the numbers either
you could be right…but weve had this discussion before, that would only be NEW fans that did that…anybody whos a real MMA fan like the two of us wouldnt stop watching because of one terrible round in a below average fight
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
Agree 100%
But the FOX deal wasn’t put in place just to keep the hardcore fans happy. The deal was made with FOX to expand the MMA fan base by converting casual fans and reeling in fans of other sports.

i know it wasnt
but i believe it was scotty that said to you when we were discussing this something to the effect of “why are we trying to cater to casual fans” and hes right…i understand that new fans are always a good thing, but you cant start to think in terms of “how are we gonna draw new people in” without STILL thinking in terms of “we need to keep the people who already love us happy”
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
So the Weedman/Maia fight was supposed to be a gift from the UFC to the hardcore fans?
Next year, I’m asking for a pair of socks instead!

no it wasnt
again, insinuating things i never even remotely said…the original card was supposed to be different…weidman just had to step up

If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire

Anderson silva would FUCK CHRIS UP.

i'm a bigger fan of weidman
You gotta cheer for an obviously mentally challenged guy who competes at such a high level. They should give chris his meds,a treat, and send him to his room before the goat hears this silly talk.
Anderson Silva is going to retire Sonnen in Brazil!
Women are at home with their husbands and children. Whores are at the club getting smacked by the Reem.
Fuck it, just give him Paul Harris so he can get his leg broken. Then we don't need to hear him speak this nonsense for a year.

i wish someone would call paul harris out
If someone calls.paul harris out and wins. It should be an instant title shot. He might not be the best mw, but he is thebmost feared i would guess.

lol..NOBODY calls that dude out!
Dude is nuts enough, no reason to piss him off! I think he gets forced on guys. You almost get the sense that guys get the call and go “Who am I fighting next? Palhares? Aw FUCK! For how much? Naw they’ve got to do better than that, I’m risking a limb here!”

He just decided he’d fucked Miller up enough for him to take a quick break. Had me yelling & laughing at the screen.

this is actually not a bad idea...
"i don't think people change, change requires re-wiring and thats a lot to go through, i think they adjust and learn a better way of dealing with themselves and others ... they don't really change, they do selfless things to conform to an extent to the expectations of the ones they want in their lives ..." -Dis Vincent

Chris Weidman . . . is having a slow news day.
--------
"I still think I can win my title back, and I still think I can even win it back from Jon Jones" . . . Rampage before UFC 144
"When I watched it, it's like I became a fan of myself, too" - Frankie Edgar on UFC 136
Meanwhile on other news ...

have you been bashing bloody elbow today?

Dude, calm down.
I’m saying that Weidman is having a slow news day.
I’m dissing this article or Jesse Holland. I’m just having fun at the expense of Weidman.
But if you feel that strong about, feel free to call me an asshole, jack-ass, jerk or whatever. Yes, I understand that posting is a privilege and you do have a right to do whatever you feel.
Calm down.
When some fighter’s really didn’t have anything to say, and they were clearly not in the Top 5 or top 10, they would say “I can beat Mike Tyson” . . . and yes, those fighters were also having a “slow news” day. Uhmm, sorry I offended you.
NOT! What a joke.

Wediman
is the dark horse of the division and i feel the man to dethrone silva
young/athletic
D1 wrestler
very good grappler
constantly improving stand up
...and the aprentice of Ray Longo and Matt Serra.
I think Serra’s a great coach and eyes will fall on this kid soon enough. He will be top 5 for awhile in his division and he is still very young.
The dude abides.

27.5 isn't very young
young, but certainly not very young.

palhares v weidman for the title when Andy retires ... fantasy nostradamus in my head
If it happens then that’d be crazy but it’s more likely to be Fael or Bis involved. It’s a bit premature but I think i’m personally going to wait for his next fight with a top opponent where he’s got a full camp to prepare before I let the Maia fight affect my opinion/prediction on his place and future in the division.
5-3, undefeated and undisputed, beat me ... if you can.
I clearly didnt learn my lesson the first time, The Pride has smashed me AGAIN. My excess estrogen has destroyed my life, I make Chaz Bono look like a real man"
everyone obviously is just reading the quote
he was ASKED how he would do against anderson silva…what is he supposed to say, “umm, i think he’d kick my ass, i’m not on his level”…no, hes gonna say that hes confident, just like any fighter would…fucking ed herman would say he could finish anderson too if he was asked how he would do, because no ones gonna say they would outwrestle their opponent to a boring decision, let alone say theyd lose…he wasnt calling anyone out, he was answering the question he was asked the most confident way possible
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
lol...you riding for your boy MM
Confidence is a necessity in the fight game if not you’ve accepted losing already. Everybody knows that some just like to bash. Its all good bro, but you’re pissing in the wind here..fuck wind, you’re in a hurricane! Relax & read, anything else is futile. In time if Chris changes peoples mind we all know you said it first.

you completely missed the point
the point is not me being right or being first or whatever the case may be…the point is people jumping down his throat like “how dare you call out anderson silva after your last fight” well, he didnt call anderson out, the reporter asked him how he would do, and he responded with confidence…when have you ever heard a fighter get asked how he would fare against another and respond by saying “oh hed kick the shit out of me”…never, so why should chris do it to make a bunch of uneducated fans happy?
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
I"ve actually heard Forrest say stuff like that, but that's besides the point.
