Anderson Silva confirmed the date of the rematch with Chris Weidman.
The title bout will take place on December 28, as the main event of the UFC 168.
The Spider confirmed the date on an interview to Brazilian magazine, GQ.
He said: “After the defeat, I have to get ready to fight again. By the way, I confirm the remacth with Weidman for December 28″.
Silva also talked about what happened in the octagon last Saturday: “If i could go back, I would be more focused. I would chose a diferent path, but would keep the same tactics. I have a lot of confidence in my game, only it did not work this time. I had never been knocked out before and I realy didn’t like it”.
The former UFC middleweight champion refuted once again the possibility of throwing the fight: “It’s crazy talk! I trained four months for that fight. My team was in tears in the lockeroom. I would never throw a fight. Never!”
The UFC hasn’t confirmed the rematch between Weidman and Silva.

He will get knocked out again.

UFC president Dana White said he was in Los Angeles on Friday, meeting with ex-middleweight champion Anderson Silva about the possibility of a rematch with new champion Chris Weidman.
But White vehemently denied a report in GQ Brazil (Editor's note: Story is in Portuguese) in which Silva was quoted as saying the rematch was made for Dec. 28 at UFC 168 in Las Vegas. Right now, a women's bantamweight title fight between Ronda Rousey and archrival Miesha Tate headlines that card.

Absolutely, and I will love it just as much as the first time. ;D

Yup..
I've been hearing that the rematch will occur at UFC 168 and will most likely take place in Brazil.
Ultimately, if Silva wants it to occur during UFC 168, it will happen that way. If Silva wants it to happen in Brazil, it will also go down that way. Dana knows this will bring in an unprecedented amount of money, both by seats filled and pay per view sales. In light of this, he won't say no to Anderson if he has particular demands, not to mention that Anderson's purse will most likely be higher anyway.
This is mostly from talks here and there between a few guys that are in the know, but it should be confirmed by White pretty soon.

Who are you picking OMR?

Anderson regains setting up a huge payday super fight with Jon Jones.
-
My 2 cents.
I feel Silva lost and was not himself for the fight, he was no longer motivated and hungry and lost it. So he could have won but beat himself.
Does this mean he will win this fight? NO, I think he will lose again but not because he won't be hungry because for this fight he will be hungrier then ever but because after winning for so long a lost destroyed him mentally like always and he will go in there full of emotions and will not be in control just like Fedor lost 3 in a row. Silva is done.

Great post and theory.
-
I believe Silva has been petrified of losing for quite a few fights, now - and has been acting like a dick, trying to mask the fact he's afraid to lose (remember that fight, recently where he basically just dodged the dude for most of the fight ::)). I see through all this bullshit showmanship, I think the pressure of being known as "the best" has got to the guy. I agree - he has also been bored, but I do think that he has been scared, too. That post fight interview seemed like relief. The dude did not want the title at that moment, that much is clear - too much pressure?
I think now that he's lost, the pressure is off - but I am wondering if he psychologically wants to regain what he seems to dislike, which is pressure, boredom or whatever other possible negative things are going on in his head regarding being the champ.
I'd toss a coin but if it stays standing and he wants it, it's his because Weidman doesn't hold a candle to him on his feet and struggled to knock him out when he was offering himself up for the taking. If he wants it, he's obviously not going to act the fool.
Either way, you'd be unwise to bet on Silva because he's just crazy enough not to feel the same rage that a normal guy would, after losing that way.
I also believe he would not beat Jon Jones and I interpret his boredom as something that is a result of knowing that (these superfights are retarded concepts). JJ is the same sort of genetic freak for his class, but heavier - and a good wrestler, which I think Silva can be beaten by. Weidman could definitely beat Silva on the floor. JJ even more so.
-
Who are you picking OMR?
I'd still pick Silva. If Chris beats him a second time, then that settles it and will prove without any reasonable doubt that Weidman has bested Silva.
Fact of the matter is that Silva's striking game is still better than Weidman's striking. If it goes to the ground, Anderson can still play that game, as he is a black belt under Nogueira and was able to fend off Weidman's ground game.
I believe that if Silva comes in with a set game plan and cuts the clowning around (that he is used to), he can win the fight with ease.
What I also believe is that if Silva doesn't come focused and ready to go for the kill, he can lose yet again.
It all depends on the Silva that shows up for that fight. Either way, it will draw a huge payday for Dana White and the FertittasSilva and a nice chunk of change for Weidman.

Dana would be wise to stack Silva's pay in favour of big payday if he wins (rather than big base). He needs some incentive to play ball. He will massively diminish in value if he loses that fight because he's been pushing people's patience for a few years now.
-
I will go with Silva... again
-
silva is going to KO weidman to prove a point that he got caught slipping
does anyone honestly believe weidman can defeat silva when silva is focused
and not playing around like roy jones

He shouldn't be given a fucking rematch after all that clowning he did in the first fight. Disrespectful to all concerned and he's only doing this next one for the payday. Of course Dana gives him what he wants because it's a huge money-spinner for him too but at the end of the day it's the principle. Then again "principle" doesn't mean shit when there's millions of dollars to be made.
Unfortunately I think he'll win the rematch (comfortably as well) but I'm not happy about it.
-
Ridiculous that they do that few fights per year, they're gonna fight this winter???
In K1 kickboxing during a best-of-eight tournament the winner had to do three fights IN ONE EVENING!
-
He will get knocked out again.
Silva won't be clowning around this time....he's going to Rope a Dope Weidman

Ok I'll listen in.

Unfortunately for Silva, Father Time is undefeated against all men.
Silva suffers his 2nd straight kayo.
-
Silva is gonna beat the shit out of him and people will see the first fight was a dive.
-
Silva for the win, then its the final best of three showdown ::) ::) ::)
Just follow the money guys.

Exactly.
This sport is more of a business than anything else.
It's in Silva's best interest to take (win) the second match, for a super payday during the 3rd fight. Likewise, it even makes more financial sense for Weidman.
To milk this as long as possible is the best way to keep the money and fans rolling in.
Think of liddell vs couture, those 3 fights grossed a lot of money and had everyone hooked. Likewise, the Silva vs Sonnen matches brought in a large amount of money for White & the Fertittas.
If this goes the long haul (3 fights), it will be a huge payday for all involved.

Anderson is the most advantages in comparison. He has precise striking and his speed and timing can be devasting when he's on his game. He was busy pretending to be stagger around when Weidman caught him. Silva was caught offguard by his showboating and paid the price. The second time they meet silva knows he can't bait weidman by clowning around so he won't take any unnneccesary chances again.
As for weidman - lightning may strike twice but i doubt it.

Yep, Dana reversed course and bumped Tate/Rousey down to co-main

The jigg is up for Silva...He's not a killer and never was one...Jon Jones is more of a killer...Any patient decent striker can now stand up to Silva.

I like it. I get to combine my two favorite hobbies: watching MMA and jerking off.

So, old light-bulb head has changed his mind, and is going to fight in a rematch. Surprise surprise.

it was always a fix.

In an interview to Rede Record, the program Legendários, Anderson Silva came crying while commenting on the mistakes he made in the defeat. He also defended himself from allegations of fraud in the fight: "I'm a little upset (with these rumors), because when I go there to fight, I get to represent my country," he said.

So he represented brazil as an arrogant, cocky, unsportsmanlike fighter who was nothing more then a clown that night
-
silva is going back to basics for this one and training with cobra-kai
could be interesting. just hope he is not tempted to 'sweep the leg'- he's better than that

Renzo says that Chris will submit Anderson in their second bout.

Is the first fight Silva's Mike Tyson moment? He better win the rematch or he's lost the fear factor going forward...

Either the lost effected him a lot or he will train like a mad man, make or break. Did not go so well with Fedor after he tasted a loss.

I picked Weidman the first time so I'm going to stick with him in round 2. He was six months post shoulder surgery in the last fight and could have been star struck at Silva's entourage, the magnitude of the fight etc but he wasn't. He was broke and trying to make it in MMA and came into the fight ready. He will be even better prepared this go around and I feel he can stand with Silva and handle him on the ground.
It should once again be a closely matched fight and Silva will ready no doubt. I just believe Weidman matches up well.
-
Fool took a dive.
I was in vegas for vacation that weekend. My cab driver was on the phone with somebody. They were talking about smart money pouring in on Weidman last minute or some crap.
I got to the hotel, ran to the casino and dropped some $ on Weidman. Gotta go with these cab drivers. They know everything around town.
-
Got whooped on the ground and standing.
This will be Anderson's retirement fight. Good riddance.

What concerns me is the gay punch that knocked out Anderson Silva, it was a very lazy short left hook with nothing on it. Anderson went from being effectively unharmed and full of energy, to knocked out grabbing the referees leg. It was the most embarrassing way the so called greatest fighter on the planet could lose. I don't think he will ever mentally recover from that. If he had of lost a brutal 5 round back and forth war, nobody would have faulted him for that, but to get knocked out by a little girly punch the way he did, there is no coming back from that.
But having said that, Weidman doesn't have much octagon experience and is still relatively untested, but he is mentally focused and his heart is in the game. I think Silva is done, his heart and mind aren't in the fight game anymore, and once they are gone, you're done. I predict Weidman to win by submission in the third round.

Great feint with Weidmans right hand before the KO punch :D
-
Oh ye of little faith.....
Silva arrives with bad intent and puts on a clinic.
Chisel it in stone fellas.

I've been watching Weidman as he does his fight camp at Renzo's and the kid is looking good. His striking game is improving and his ground game is very fluid. Danaher (the head BJJ coach for our academy's fight camp) had Chris doing all sorts of new drills and techniques. Chris is also spending time with our Muay Thai guy and even had GSP come in for a few weeks to spar with him.
That said, as much as I support Weidman (due to him being a member of my academy), I still think that a focused Anderson Silva can defeat Weidman with ease. Anderson needs to cut the shit out and stop trying to impress a ring side Roy Jones Jr. and stick to what he does best.
If it stays standing, I give it to Silva for this match.
If it goes to the ground, Weidman by sick submission.

I don't even like Silva but I can see him putting on a clinic if it stays standing...

Silva wont recover.
