Chris weidman is ready for the likes of Jon jones because he beat Anderson Silva. Chris weidman defeated Silva because he was able to outwrestle him. On the otherhand, Jon jones is a elite level wrestler with great striking. I'm inclined to pick Jon jones because he have a better skill set but anything can happen. Jon jones is a great champion but Weidman can pull off the upset.
BQ: Chris weidman is a great wrestler and he will neutralise Vitor belfort striking. He will outwrestle Vitor to win by a decision. He know that belfort is a better striker so he will look to mix up his strategy.
Weidman will never get the recognition that he deserves from the simpletons and haters, and he's fine with that. No wonder why Weidman is popular with real sports fans and the educated, not hood rat losers. I serioulsy doubt Weidman would give a damn if a bunch of WWE fans think he's not a winner, and rightfully so.
Vitor is coming off of 3 big wins..Rockhold, Bisping and Henderson..all by way of KO..I think the Phenom becomes two time UFC Champ(LHW & MW)..Weidman is an underserving paper champ!
As for Jones..Weidman..Isn't that smooth..he hasn't even beaten top talent..and as much as people claim he was dominating Silva tonight..he wasn't!..Silva had him busted open..imo Silva would've submitted Weidman..ala Sonnen part 1..Jones wouldn't even give Weidman the time of day..Jones has better wrestling than Silva..so takedowns wouldn't be too much of a problem..Jones would finish Weidman by TKO or Submission.
Yes, easily. Jones is taller, faster, stronger, better striking, and has defended his title more than Once. I think Vitor loses since he's not aloud to be roided up in the States.
NO WAY!
Weidman is a beast and will destroy overrated Jones just like he destroyed Silva!
Anything can happen, but a dominant 205 pounder will usually beat a very good 185 pounder.
No, as good as Jones is Chris is like no other.
i think jon jones would win. they are similar fighters except i think jones is faster and of course the reach. i dont think theyll ever fight tho
CHRIS WEIDMAN WOULD WHIP HIS ***.
Well,he is,Black,ain't he???
You and your like are going to be eatin' alive... ... ... lol
Bonus question, what do you think of weidman next opponent, vitor belfort chances against weidman
