Neither, Weidman waits it out another 2 years and fights The Count 3 years from now for the belt.

Romero beat Jacare remember. Shit either one spells bad news for Chris. Both can stuff his takedowns. Chris gets a bit lost when he can't take guys down.
Just barely beat him. Jacare wins a rematch imo.
You're probably right. I guess Romero's TDD is better than I give him credit for.

Jacare is custom made for Weidman. Chris is a more technical striker and he's not getting taken down.

Romero would be more interesting to me because he can win by flash KO, but otherwise loses.

Romero gassed himself out trying to finish jacare, which is why the fight ended up being close. He was 1 or 2 punches from finishing Jacare. The bell saved him and he was barely able to stand afterwards. I think Romero would beat him again

I think he can face a Romero off the steroids. Weidman, if history is to teach us anything, is not to be under-estimated...
Jacare can face a real problem for Weidman though. Good hands and of course a phenomenal ground game.

I would do Weidman/Jacare and Rockhold/Romero. Fresh match-ups and best showing from the two winners gets the next title shot.

I like weidman jacare but id rather see weidman/romero jacare/rockhold. The first fight was a while back and both have changed

Jacare recovered between rounds but Romero was gassed for the rest of the fight. Plus he was saved by a stand up when he grabbed the fence.

Only when he fights at 20%

When he's healthy he puts on a striking clinic like he did twice against Anderson and once against Machida

Romero gets gassed in every fight. Everytime he manages to make it up the stairs into the cage I'm a little surprised.
