Some people when a fighter beats a fighter they like they think the new fighter is good. But I know that actually the new fighter is bad. I call this the "Buster Douglas Theory".

Weidman was always a top prospect and my pick for a while to dethrone anderson, fatherdog used to cite his injury history as something that could potentially derail a long career.

I dont think anyone expected Romero and Jacare to improve deep into their 30s let alone rockhold to improve dramatically until he got bispinged.

MW is a cool division and weidman is still good in it. His fight with Machida is an all time great and i think he'll handle mousasi pretty handily tbh.

Weidman when fresh looks insanely good and his skillset is great. Now there are many fighters who are one round (or three minutes in Vitor's case) wonders, but Chris doesn't instantly turn to poo poo once he's past his first wind. He's entertaining even when he doesn't win, too, aside from the Maia fight which he came in on gently caress all notice for. There are reasons to like him.

The sickest part of this is you can see Dariush jabbing and shooting from further out each time due to the leg kicks, which ends up giving Barboza all the time he needs.

The takedown attempt right before the last one he's right inside of clinching range. The first and last one are definitely far out but to say "he was shooting further and further out" is incorrect.

You may be right. He definitely gets less willing to commit that outside leg to the takedown.

Weidman's record also show him as unbeaten until December 2015, with his last fight before that being his win over Vitor in May of 2015. I wonder what changed between may and December of 2015???



Also the eyeball test doesn't lie, look at pics of him before and after those dates.

Somehow this is actually true as relates to drugs; it certainly isn't true in any other aspect of Yoel's entire loving career. He was being penalised for stalling back when he was wrestling for Cuba for fucks' sake.

Ok, I'll give you those, but Weidman's decline in fight performance and appearance and the implementation of the new USADA testing regime isn't coincidental. While it would be helpful to have more than 2 fights post-USADA to judge by you've also gotta admit Chris looks deflated now.

it seems like all the guys someone says is probably taking steroids due to unreal muscles or suddenly becoming large men turn out to take steroids, i'd be actually interested to see how many examples to the contrary there are
