Chris Weidman vs. Kelvin Gastelum & Dennis Bermudez vs. Darren Elkins RBR

The bad thing about Cormier beating Jones is even if he dominates him Jones will make the excuse that he was rusty and they'll have a rubber match.

 

Gutted I lost my bet, but pleased Weidman is back.

This division is stacked.

Gastelum is world class so beating him proves Weidman is still world class.

 

Stoked for Weidman. Class act as well as brilliant fighter

 

Not sure how beating an undersized Gastellum means Weidman is back. He fought a guy ranked behind him, he was supposed to win.

 

lol

Weidman did what he should have done against a tubby, shorter man, who also had shorter reach. lol@ some people acting like Weidman just beat a top level 185 pounder, and not Gastellum.

 

Weidman has always been over rated. Don't take it personal. I'm simply pointing out that beating the tubby but smallish Gastellum doesn't mean Weidman is back. He'd still lose to anybody ranked above him. Whittaker is the real deal, as is Romero. We saw what God's knee did to Weidman's face though. We also saw what Rockhold's ground and pound did to Weidman's face. We also saw Weidman get knee'd in the grill twice, and then try to get Mousassi DQ'd which was a real ***** move by Weidman. We've also noticed that Weidman hasn't been **** since USADA testing was implemented, after talking all that **** about juicers. Weidman's above average, nothing more.

 

Weidman being the underdog was bull****. I'm not saying Weidman is trash, I'm saying Gastellum is short, with short arms, and tubby, a welterweight who can't cut down to welter but small for a middleweight. Weidman did was he should have done.

 

Nice one. Was listening to Luke on a recent interview and he was totally fed up with not getting a fight (first Anderson refused then Moose switched). Seemed like he was seriously considering switching too

Agree Weidman Jacare would be phenomenal. As would Rockhold Romero

Personally i just hope GSP stays the hell out the picture and Bisping is forced to fight Romero, who might have lost the decision but put Whittaker out of action til next year

 

It's not crap, it's truth. Weidman was supposed to win this. I could give two ****s what the betting line was. Look at Gastellum, look at Weidman. Weidman lost to all top tier guys. Gastellum beat no top tier guy at 185. Gastellum was also at a size deficit. 6'2 to 5'9, with a severe reach advantage. Weidman was supposed to win, and he did.
