From what I've read and seen I think Dan White might need to get on Silva's case after this fight. Weidman is good--he wouldn't be in a title fight otherwise, right?--but the general consensus was that Silva had a pretty easy one on his hands.
Maybe he thought so to, hence goofing around a little too much and trying to dance around Weidman's punches. Sure enough, when he thought he ducked another Weidman connected sending Silva to the mat where he finished the job.
From what I read over at Big Lead Sports (where I got these awesome gifs from) this kind of goofing around is common for Silva. As his boss I would think White would get on his case for diminishing the quality of his fights with such antics.
I'm Still in shock, I guess I was so sure Silva was going to win, but well Silva cost himself the title so..congratulations to the new champion saw his family with him, this is Mrs. Weidman'--> http://fabwags.com/marivi-weidman-mma-fighter-chris-weidman-wife/ not surprise that Dayane wasn't there she hardly attends but still this is her http://fabwags.com/dayane-silva-mm-anderson-silva-wife/
ReplyDeleteI hear you man! I couldn't believe how much goofing off he was doing in a main event! I guess if I ever won 17 consecutive fights I'd be pretty confident too, but you have to respect the sport! Kudos to Weidman for pressing and doing his job right!
