Chris Weidman knows where his bread is butter.

unless he is training with pacquiao, bruce lee and seagal on his stand up, jiu jitsu might not matter

I'm annoyed how this kid keeps talking like he's already fighting Silva.
Just train and hope you get the shot.
I don't dislike this kid (yet), but for someone with a resume the size he has, he's got way too much to say, IMO.

Meh not interested in Weidman talking his way into a shot.... lets see what he can do first?

100% agree, in the mean time.........WAR BISPING!!!!!!!

Seriously... Bisping... so you aren't a fan anymore Gecko?
Because the only thing that could happen in that fight is him getting KTFO
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing it... but what a waste of a ppv, everyone, including Mikey, knows how that one will end.

Weidman is like a really boring, bland, much less witty version of Chael Sonnen.

I think Chrom is hiding his fanboy love for The Count.... that whole "Methinks he doth protest too much!"

But on an honest note, One area that seems to have silvas number a little bit is the ground and pound. I think Bisping has a stronger ground and pound than and has much better sub defense than Sonnen does. If Bisping could work with Sonnen or Rashad on his take downs to prep for his fight i actually belive bisping could stand a chance. Plus Bisping haveing great boxing/kickboxing. Plus at this point and time there arent a lot of matches in the MW divison that sounds like a big money maker but Bisping vs Silva in the UK for the title is a big seller. Uk fans will want to see it and hopes of having there first UK MW champion and most U.S fans will buy it in hopes of seeing Bisping getting ko'ed.

Not saying Bisping has the greatest chance in the world but i think he has a better chance than some of the other contenders like cote,Maia,lettis,forrst or irvin did. Bisping is much more well rounded than all of them.

Yeah it's like i said before; it's come full circle in the MW division with Anderson Silva.
He has once again cleaned-out the division, and once again, there aren't a lot of interesting match-ups for him right now. Instead of Leites, Maia, and Cote its Bisping, Weidman, and Boetsch.
