Weidman wants Jacare next; Souza willing to take that fight

[MovinOn]

“That fight does intrigue me,” Weidman said (via MMA Fighting). “I love ‘Jacare.’ I’m a fan of ‘Jacare.’ I just feel like he would be a great test for me. We’ve been around each other for a long time in the division. We never fought. And I would love to test myself against him.”

The feeling appears to be mutual.

”It’s a fight that makes sense,” Souza told MMA Fighting. “It would be a huge pleasure to fight him. I don’t know if he’s healthy because he just has hand surgery. What I know is that I’m super healthy. I’ll give my body a few days to rest, celebrate my anniversary a lot more, and then I’ll be back to training.”

weidman is a brave dude

This is a winnable fight for Chris. No one will have the edge in wrestling/grappling so maybe this is a stand up fight and Chris used to have pretty decent stand up.

 

[Gay For Longo]

I like it
Tough match for both guys and they should be ranked about the same

Hope they put this together

 

[Dick Niaz]

You know the MW division is deep when this fight hasn’t happened yet. Can’t wait!!!

Bless UP Jacare.

I saw the snide smile just reading via text.

I always thought Weidman’s stand up was overrated.

Weidman beats his ass......strong island

It's def not great but it may be better than Jacare.

Jacare looks stiff, though he seems to hit hard.....Weidman is more loose (gosh damn are the “you’re a homo” comments coming)
......Weidman will come at you full speed and he’s been looking tired as of late.....

Agreed about him looking tired.

I honestly don't know about that. Jacare just headkicked Brunson into oblivion.

Weidman needs to go fuck a sea urchin and stick to blowing his nose on the flag while chump commentators call him the "all American. I'd rather see him in a hot dog eating competition than see him disgrace America in the Octagon again.

 

[La Paix]

Chris just got over a 3 fight losing streak by beating a former WW, his confidence isn't where it should be I'm guessing. The last time I was impressed with him was the 5th round against Machida iirc, may have been the 3rd. He also looks uncomfortable throwing kicks still, so strange.

What the bloody hell is all this about?

He should just stick to Jersey for the next Hurricane Sandy. I'd love to see him get brutalized by Jacare.

Remember the days when MW was the weakest division, where Nate Quarry got a shot after one post TUF fight win? LOL

Chris my friend, Jacare will take your soul, you don't have the wrestling, BJJ, or striking to beat him.

 

[ECC170]

Weidman can't ever be accused of hand picking fights.. he fights killers every time
