jimufctna24 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm not being disrespectful towards Weidman here, as he's a good fighter, but I simply don't think there's a middleweight who can compete with Anderson when he's got his game head on. The only person who defeats Anderson is himself in my opinion. I agree to a extent, no one is going to out-strike Anderson unless he dicks about.  I will reserve comment until after this fight to whether I agree in full.

pryko Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 When you compare the photos from the previous page, I think Miesha wins by Unanimous Decision, with 3 straight 10-8 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2013 Weidman's looking lean a month out   I was thinking the other day, Ray Longo doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves. Like Matt Serra said in the quote above, Longo took two grapplers - a BJJ guy and a wrestler - and got their striking to a point where they hold knockouts over pretty much the consensus #1 and #2 fighters in the sport and maybe of all-time. It's incredible when you think about it. Two of the biggest upsets in MMA history and the same man was training both guys.  Oh and Cyborg (remember her?) talks Ronda vs Miesha 2;  "Ronda is a little mentally sick. Miesha is more focused.

jimufctna24 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Longo brought out the best in a T-rex armed BJJ player, by teaching him to get inside and use his short and stocky frame to generate power. He worked to Serra's strengths to cover up his limitations. Â Knockout wins over Trigg and GSP showed he was doing a stellar job, Serra also knocked down Hughes and beat Lytle on points during this period. Serra was always going to have weaknesses with his frame and size, but to go on the streak he did at 170 is partially down to Longo. Â Weidman is easier to coach, as he does not have the physical weaknesses Serra has, its not shocking he is now a decent all round Amercian style boxer, who can throw combos and dictate distance. Not sure if it is Longo who helped Weidman bring elbows into his game, but they are just more weapons in Weidman's toolbox. Â Still not sure who I will pick though, my heart still says Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2013 There's been a bit of a reshuffle of the card;   PPV MAIN CARD Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva - UFC Middleweight Title Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate - UFC Womens Bantamweight Title Josh Barnett vs Travis Browne Jim Miller vs Fabricio Camoes Dustin Poirier vs Diego Brandao  FOX SPORTS 1 PRELIMS Chris Leben vs Uriah Hall Gleison Tibau vs Michael Johnson Manny Gamburyan vs Dennis Siver Siyar Bahadurzada vs John Howard  MMAJUNKIE PRELIMS Bobby Voelker vs William Macario Robert Peralta vs Estevan Payan  From what I'm reading this is the current lineup. Looks outstanding. They've moved Leben vs Hall off the main card and onto FOX Sports 1 which makes sense. The main card should be fantastic, and I'm looking forward to all four of the televised prelims there. Only a few weeks now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm sure Siyar was on the MMAJunkie/Facebook/Youtube prelims before as well. Â Good switch for Leben/Hall. I was shocked to see them get main card treatment initially given their recent form. Â Is it sad I'm probably more excited for this than Christmas? Christmas isn't a big deal for me anymore, I don't get as much stuff and I can buy most things I want anyway. Also, we're a very close family, so the whole "spending time with loved ones" isn't an unusual thing for us. Â I love the double main event, as normally when we have two title fights, one is usually bad at drawing by itself- i.e. flyweight, featherweight. In this case, Weidman/Silva and Rousey/Tate could easily headline a major PPV individually. Plus, Josh Fucking Barnett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herne's Son Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Loving the trailer they have made for this event, the editing is top notch as well as the music. Â Anyone know the song that plays in the trailer? Â Personally I think Silva will take back the title but I'll be screaming for Weidman to win.
