What kind of chance to you give Chris Weidman to win this weekend?

What are his chances?

60% Chris wins this weekend.

2% chance, anything more than 10% means you drowned in the hype.

11-25% only because of his great wrestling.

Those are Thales Leites kind of chances right there. I think you are overreacting more then us fanboys. I think Vitor, Jacare and Mousasi all have atleast 20% of winning against Anderson.

I think those three have a better chance against Silva then does Weidman. He is not very experienced, he has not proven himself against very many high quality opponents, he hasn't fought in a very long time, he is coming off of serious shoulder problems. He is good but the level of hype has not been warranted.

How do those 3 have a 20% chance against Anderson? I wouldn't give any of them more than 5%.

i voted 0-10%

I think he has a 10% chance to win. I would give more chance if he came off the injury and looked good. As of now there are too many ?s. Did the shoulder heal fine? Maybe it healed but training had to be slowed, How much ring rust will the less experienced weidman have?

I think anderson has slowed a bit but still should be the heavy favorite

26-49%

11-25%

40-45%.

50-65%

Silva is way past due.

Nice, votes are completely spread out. Excellent thread. Well done me. Well done.

I can say this much I am interested in seeing a Silva fight for once if that tells you anything.

small

the hype has been absurd. Even Roger Gracie bullshitted and claimed this guy could probably tap him in a grappling match. Dana has been blowing up the UFC roster to come out and try to make this guy seem like some straight up G.

Weidman sounds like the real deal. Guys have been saying for two years that the rate he picks things up in the gym is just absurd. He's the future of the division and we'll see if he's ready to make the leap early

Could be the GSP situation the first time he faced Matt Hughes, he's just not ready yet but just needs time.

I give him around a 50% chance. The layoff from and injury made me give Silva an equal chance. I like Chris alot. Hopefully the layoff and jitters don't give him fits.

Guess I was the only one that voted 66+

He had been destroying all the sparring partners they brought in, they couldn't keep them in camp.

I heard this too, didn't know if it was true. Now it makes sense Costa and Hall left.

Hall wasn't with them, he was with Tiger Schulman.

I wish I could find a gif of a happy dance where Chris Weidman comes in and lands a KO punch halfway through.
