UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva II

[Ickis]

Why are people doubting Weidman? After he destroys Belfort who else does he have to prove himself against?

I think Belfort is getting taken down and mauled. Seriously the guy is a puncher first. Then he has some basic BJJ and that is mainly an arm bar.

I find it interesting that there isn't much respect for Weidman.

 

[Bmac1]

I think Weidmans biggest threat is going to come from Jacare.

Says the guy who's user icon is a picture of his own ass.

post a link to that quote.

It can be done in rare instances where the rod could cause another fracture if there is stress. Otherwise it is complicated to remove. Holes have to be filled and basically it is almost like you broke it again. So he had it fixed. He won't start training for 9 months. If he had it removed he would be delayed another 9 months. He is going to be basically 2 years older before he can even start training again.

You are both wrong? WTF???

You must still be seeing double from the beating you took at yoga class at the hands of some old lady.

If you had a time machine and stayed your age but went back to when I was 12 I would kick your ass.

All you are doing is talking a lot of shit as usual. You may be a nurse, but you have no idea what you are babbling about, acting like an expert, when actually you are clueless. I will take the word of the surgeon who actually did the surgery over a wannabe know it all nurse. Find the link yourself, doucheboy. I'll give you a hint since you are mentally challenged: it's online. Keep posting crap and then backtracking to try to make yourself look smart. I'm afraid that ship has already sailed. You are only demonstrating your ignorance.
As for my avatar, that's your little sister's ass. You should recognize that by now.
As far as you "kicking my ass", that's a typical comment from a punk hiding behind a keyboard.

Poor Bmac, he lost his coward button.
No more anonymous neg repping like a punk.
Finally realizing that, he changed his post to three dots.
Typical coward.

 

[Bmac1]

Nothing cowardly about it. You've been corrected time and time again in this thread and you still dont even realize it. You are an airhead and know nothing about what you are trying to talk about. Thats clear from your posts in this thread.

Then you turn to attacking someone for having a different opinion so I neg repped you, nothing cowardly about it. Id tell you on the open forum or to your face that you are a prick and a stupid prick at that.

You get all upset because you didnt reach your internet validation quota for the day. Im sorry for that but I hope that once you get the sand all cleaned out of your vagina, you can still have a good nights sleep.

G`day Bmac

Yes I think Jacare is a legit contender .
He has improved his wrestling / td defence and can can throw some good hands these days .
I still think the New Mohawk rockin Vitor has a good chance in a fight with Weidman . Speed advantage can`t be coached .

fuck yes jacare could beat Weidman. but he did lose to Rockhold, who would also be a good matchup against Weidman.

I think vitor will end up ruling the division after KO'ing weidman, jacare, and machida. thats my personal prediction although i would like to see Rockhold or Jacare become champ.

 

[Bmac1]

Belfort has looked unstoppable lately, no doubt about it. Taking out Dan Henderson via TKO is a notch that only Vitor has. He will be dangerous against anyone in the division on the feet. I think Weidman will take him down though and grind him down for a TKO finish.

Jacare is a different animal. I think he would gladly start the fight on his back. Taking him to the ground could be your last mistake, he is that good of a grappler. Now I know that Weidman manhandled Maia and that was a boring fight but an impressive performance for Weidman being that he was sick.

I just think that Jacare is much stronger than Maia, physically and that will open move avenues for him should he end up on his back. I could see Weidman having a lengthy run with the title but the top of the MW division has gotten a lot more interesting lately with an infusion of talent that it desperately needed.

G`day Bmac

Jacare Striking > Maia .
Jacare Athleticism > Mia
Jacare BJJ = Maia .

@ Schrews
I`ll have to go back and look at Rochold vs Jacare . I don`t think I watched it . That is a Strike Force gig ?

Thanks for sharin

G`day Retro

Guess what? You're not anonymous anymore. No more cowardly neg reps. Sorry. Got something to say? Post it.

K . I find many of your posts aggressive and insulting . I have not found them helpful .


Thanks for sharin

Jacre submitted Lawler by rear naked choke. Lawler was on a streak of losing 5 out of 8 fights though. He seems better now.

He could do anything against Rockhold and lost a 5 round decision.

He went through Okami easily too. Even though he does lose some Okami is a very good yardstick to measure a fighter by. It took Silva 2 rounds to have the ref stop the fight. Sousa only took 2 minutes or so of the first round.

Mousasi has to figure in here somewhere. He is fighting Machida next so Machida has a big hurdle before he gets a crack at Weidman.

There are some potentially great fights coming up.

 

[Shcrews]

Yah jacare's bjj is better than anybody in Mma

Xcept maybe roger gracie but he fights like shit. Jacare is much more athletic

 

[Bmac1]

I have been very impressed by Jacares recent striking improvements. he really has gone leaps and bounds in terms of progress. He is turning into a scary dude.

 

[papaduc]

Belfort is very much a gatekeeper fighter at this point. That's the bottom line really. Anyone looking to really hold down the top spot should be beating him, regardless of what he did to the teak-tough, but technically limited Dan Henderson.

In the sport of MMA, the fighters evolve twice within one generation. Boxing is a refined sport. Nobody's going to come in and re-write the technical rulebook; you're either good or you're not. In MMA the evolution is so rapid you can see fighters being out-evolved all the time.

GSP went into the fight with Matt Hughes and came out of it a different animal. He realised how important Wrestling was and honed that part of his game to the point where he's now international caliber. This has made him the dominant force in the UFC that he's been over the years. He's essentially become Matt hughes mark 2.0. A more rounded fighter, but first and foremost a dominant wrestler.

In the fight against Hendricks you saw what happens when someone can match his wrestling and keep the fight where GSP is now seen as weak because of his punch resistance and rabbit-in-the-headlights boxing technique.

Cheick Kongo vs Cain Velasquez is a good example. The huge frenchman would possibly have won that fight... until it became obvious he had no idea how to keep himself upright when someone shot on him.

You can see a replay of this evolution when you look at Ronda Rousey in teh women's game. Nobody can compete with her in the clinch. But when/if someone comes along - not with as good a Judo/grappling base because that's unlikely to happen in her career-span - with a just strong enough grappling base to keep the fight standing, she's ready to be Knocked out. The fact is, Miesha tate was being thrown around like a rag doll and was tactically inept, which made the fight, in terms of being competitive, a non-event.

These kind of evolutions will become less and less as the years pass and everyone has high level wrestling skills AND boxing/muay technique as an entry-level requirement.

The same thing happened with Jon Jones > Machida et al...

I'm not saying Weidman is in the category of new breed animal just yet, but Belfort is most definitely in the old school model IMO. For me, if Weidman keeps his distance and doesn't get caught early, he puts in a dominant display against a gassed Vitor Belfort.

I have been very impressed by Jacares recent striking improvements. he really has gone leaps and bounds in terms of progress. He is turning into a scary dude.

Hmm... I'm not convinced. He telegraphs his work and against a good wrestler with good timing, he's going to be on his back quickly. His striking against Okami wasn't good, it was made to look good by a very static and pedestrian Okami. Especially the end, when he telegraphed and threw 3 overhand rights in a row and Okami still stood there with his head in the air. Yushi was very bad in that fight.

 

[Bmac1]

Im not saying he is an elite striker by any means. Just that he has made vast improvements since coming to the UFC. Some of his early fights were laughable how one dimensional he was with his BJJ.
