for Weidman?


yes, for weidman. In my mind he's the second most secure champion behind jon jones in the ufc. He's quietly effective, and that's the hardest kind of champion to dethrone. His wrestling completely negated Maia's ADCC championship level BJJ too, so I oubt anyone is going to have their way with him on the ground either. I doubt belfort, ouza, or rockhold is going to even touch him, then it's down to clowns like philipou or bisping

Cain might be more secure than him if he could stay uninjured, I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire soon if he keeps injuring his knees after every fight.

Skipping Jon Jones and Weidman himself, we go down to robbie, I think we can agree it's great he's champ, but he didn't do it looking invincible either.

Then Pettis, he's in a freaking shark tank, he's good but he's not having such as easy time either.

Aldo is the biggest question mark. Whether it's old age or harder and harder weight cuts, he keeps gasing every fight toward the end. He used to be absolutely deadly with his lightning quick, ultra precise kicks, but he might be on the decline and McGregor might actually best him.

Then there's Dillishaw, we don't know much about him beyond his last fight, who knows what could happen?

There's an argument to be made about mighty mouse, as amazing as he's always been, he's clearing his division and looking absolutely invincible, improving upon an already impressive skillet.

Anderson will retake his belt.

Just cause he had 2 fluke losses doesn't change the fact that his striking is light years ahead of the chris.

getting knocked the fuck out nearly twice isn't a fluke loss you goon.

To be fair he said nearly twice, that first round in clinch was almost a ko lol Chris woke him back up and he quickly recovered somehow

weedman dropped him like a sack of potatos in the 2nd fight during a clinch battle, and he just barely recovered.

Forget about that, that won't happen. The first KO was methodically prepared and well executed. I saw it coming from the very start of 2nd round

The second fight was all Wiedman, and Anderson broke his leg not by accident, but because he kicked too hard against someone who checked his kicks expertedly and repeatedly.

Edit: you're such a huge fan of Overeem, following him since his pride and K1 days, I thought you'd have basic kickboxing knowledge by now.

idk who will challenge next for the MW belt, but if rockhold wins, and vitor loses, and they give someone the shot, I see rockhold fighting vitor again and destroying him.
