Who should be next for Weidman?

[Killer_Demo]

Luke Rockhold or Jacare or someone else? I think Luke Rockhold vs Weidman is the fight to make. Discuss

[UncleChael]

Weidmans the best it doesn't matter.

Uriah Hall rematch

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

both guys are deserving of a shot, I'd give it to Sousa just because he is 35 and age is more of a factor in his case than the 30 year old Rockhold

a week ago u said he was a fluke

[Unwritten Law]

I don't think you could go wrong with either Jacare or Rockhold.

Jacare is the #1 contender and rightfully deserves the title fight. Though I believe Rockhold matches slightly better.

[Kermit]

I want to see Jacare fight him.

[Heyeverybody99]

Weidman -450 vs Jacare
Weidman -600 vs Rockhold

[UncleChael]

About a week ago!! Silva was the greatest in my eyes thats why.. Always will be but.. Silva says Chris he's the best now.. Chris is champion for long time. I like free money.

Luke Rockhold or Jacare or someone else? I think Luke Rockhold vs Weidman is the fight to make. Discuss

well first of all it's only between those 2, so not sure why you threw in "or someone else" .. second, I'm pretty sure jacare had the shot first but got injured delaying his shot..now luke is in the picture after beating machida..If you really want to be fair then give it to jacare, then rockhold gets the winner. Doesn't really matter, they'll both get a shot regardless, just a matter of months in between. I just really want to see rockhold fight again this year so I'd pick rockhold.

Weidman -450 vs Jacare
Weidman -600 vs Rockhold

No way will the odds be that far apart if he fights Luke next. Luke beats Weidman. Line will be close to even when all is said and done.

[Unwritten Law]

If I had to guess:

Weidman -200 vs Jacare
Weidman -250 vs Rockhold

[Mercersux]

I don't think the lines for Weidman-Rockhold matchup would be far from even. Rockhold stock is so high right now from that Machida fight. He wiped the floor with him. I was of the mindset following the Anderson Silva fights that Weidman would be champ for a long time. Rockhold got his sh*t together post Belfort fight and that Machida steamroll makes him a legit threat. Knowing ufc they make Weidman-Rockhold first. Winner gets to beat up Jacare.

[Unwritten Law]

MW division is getting exciting with the top 2 contenders both championship caliber. Too bad for Anderson, if he didn't mess around in the first fight, who knows what the outcome would have been.

[JIBBBY]

They need to feed Wiedman a young up and coming buck.. He's making these old MMA legends look like children inside the Octagon.. Luke Rockhold would be an awesome test for the champ IMO...

No more old Brazilian legends please as they will all continue to get smoked by the champ.. Jacare included as a fan of the sport typing away....

As a Gambling man please bring on Jacare Souza for easy money though...

[brooks85]

should be rockhold, souza has no chance from the bottom

I agree, plus Rockhold already has beaten Jacare Souza

Dana White confirmed Luke Rockhold has next title-shot against Weidman

I think i may actually take Rockhold in this fight. After that absolute annihilation of Machida, dude is firing on all cylinders.

[JIBBBY]

Dana White confirmed Luke Rockhold has next title-shot against Weidman

Yeah saw that on the UFC tonight show.. Dan White also said DC vs Gus will be next.....

DC was like really I bet? Another long fighter to face like JJ....

I like CW and Gus in those future bouts.. .

Poor Bader still waiting in the rafters

Poor Bader still waiting in the rafters

I'm thinking Jones must be coming back soon, and they want to ensure it will be a big fight, otherwise this makes no sense.

Weidman is a beast in his own right but I think I'm going with Rockhold here. I guess you can't go wrong having elite fighters in your camp to motivate and inspire you on a daily basis. I'm really hoping he's a 2/1 underdog as well.

Weidman is a little better then Rockhold standing and or on the ground so I just don't see where Luke can get the advantage anywhere in this matchup... Luke's chin has also been cracked once already by Vitor and Weidman's has not.. My money will be on the champ... Should be a great fight though...

CW by KO or Submission is my call... Until Chris Weidman loses a fight it's damn hard to bet against him IMO..

(this will be a true west coast vs east coast match up)

[Beelzebubzy]

If I had to guess:

Weidman -200 vs Jacare
Weidman -250 vs Rockhold

Offer me a line on Rockhold.

Rockhold has much better footwork standing than Weidman. I don't know the length comparing the two so that could make Rockhold's movement that much more important. As far as takedowns are concerned, if anyone in the division can keep it standing against Weidman it'd be Rockhold.

I disagree, Luke has better stand up striking but not as good as Chris on the ground

Merc and Killer,

I don't believe we've ever seen Chris Weidman get out worked or out struck on his feet.. Weidman's foot work looked pretty good against Anderson Silva whom was arguably the best striker in the division at the time.. Luke is very tough standing but I think it's very hard to say Luke has better stand up then Chris Weidman straight up IMO.. It's close maybe...

I can see Chris Weidman walking down Luke and dropping him honestly at some point...

Will be a closer fight than most think. Great stylistic matchup. Styles makes fights

[UncleChael]

Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman 3!

[UncleChael]

Weidman -150 Rockhold +120.

[Mercersux]

Weidman -150 Rockhold +120.

I think its priced accordingly. Expect it to move towards a pick em going forward.

Weidman bet of the year

[Killer_Demo]

This would be a hell of a match up at MSG in New York City
