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.
