Oh I'm not booking it for Silva, I just think he has a good chance of winning if he doesn't screw around. He definitely slowed down in r2.

The only reason I question this is because barely anything happened in the second round, and the knockout came quick.

I didn't see Weidman slow down at all, except he failed at a takedown.

I disagree that Weidman gassed. I think he failed on a takedown and saw silva's hands down the whole time in position to defend the td. So instead of wasting energy going for a td that was going to be difficult to get. He kickboxed with Silva. I think Weidman gets Silva down easier this fight. Silva respects Weidmans power and ability to hurt him now.

The Flashback and Countdown have me ready, can't wait for the weigh-in!

I know Spider is motivated but so is Weidman, to prove it wasn't a fluke. I really think Weidman has even more motivation because people are mostly dismissing his first win due to Anderson's clowning. I'm ready to see a complete fight from both of them. I'm pulling for Anderson but I also wouldn't mind seeing Weidman win to prove to everyone he is a legit champion. I get the feeling a lot of MMA fans see this as "well if Anderson goes into this seriously he'll win"...

I'd like Anderson to win though so we can potentially see him go up against Jones before he leaves his prime. I still think Anderson can be in his prime, his reflexes in the first fight were still Matrix-like, he just got too comfortable.

Oh, and the other fights on the card I'm pumped for too. Even though Tate doesn't deserve this title fight, the hatred between them has me anxious. Rousey is a goon but she can scrap. It'll be interesting to see how they react to each other after the fight, they both seem to take this rivalry pretty personal.

Whoever wins between Barnett and Browne will be really close to a title shot. I love both of them, especially Barnett. Could you imagine him as champ? Lol, dude is the ultimate troll outside of Sonnen. I just hope they don't gas, Browne gassed against Overeem. The good thing is both guys have high outputs so we should get a show even if they do happen to gas.

Dusin Poirier v Diego has to be a war.

I really don't think Rousey is that bad.

I don't mind people talking a lot when they have finished every.single.opponent in the first round. To me that gives you the right to be a little aggro when people step to you.

I think this is gonna look like Sonnen/Silva first fight without the miracle sub at the end. Weidman is, in my opinion, a better version of Sonnen.

Rousey was acting like a psycho though on the show. There's a difference between being arrogant and then just being unlikeable. I like her but she was acting crazy.

Also Weidman isn't anything like sonnen so I don't see the comparison there to be honest.

I seriously think Rousey has some mental or emotional issues that she needs to go to a therapist to deal with. She wasn't acting, she really takes everything as an attack on her. She for some reason has an inferiority complex and she can't handle anyone not liking her.

I dislike Rousey a lot. I also think she is a good fighter in a pool of mediocre ones. Sadly I doubt she will get a loss before she retires and moves onto making movies full time. I just hope Sara McMann can avoid the armbar and beat Ronda.

Chael is a better MMA wrestler than Weidman, and he has a power double that is MUCH MUCH better than Weidman's is. That being said Chris can finish Anderson on the ground via sub or strikes, something Chael couldn't do. He also is a better striker on the feet with a lot more power than Chael.

Chael is half the boxer Weidman is and has half the power. Sonnens motor is exceptional and his wrestling is top notch. they are completely different fighters with different skill sets and tendencies.

I think she just hates Tate. Looking back at her SF fights and the Carmouche fight she never had an issue with Kaufmann or Carmouche or any of the other fighters she fought. Tate just gets under her skin. She did the same thing when they fought the first time in SF.

I think the fact that Tate comes off as a cool female though makes Rousey look bad. I like Rousey too but she is being a bit excessive when it comes to the rivalry.

Re: UFC 168:Weidman v. Silva 2 / Rousey v. Tate 2 - Dec. 28 - Las Vegas

I liked Tate more and Rousey considerably less after watching the show. After watching the countdown I like Tate even less as she comes off as jealous and bitter. She acknowledges it, but it doesnt make it any better.

I hope they put on a show, maybe Tate beats Rousey's face in for 4 1/2 minutes then gets caught in an arm bar. My other hope is either Holly Holm or Cat Zigano then TKOs Rousey.

Uriah Hall VS Leben is interesting as well a nice winner packs their bags match.
