Actually, Weidman is 5-0 in the UFC MW division and Munoz was ranked 3 when Weidman destroyed him. Maia was also ranked in the top 10 the time of the fight (Who Choked out Chael). Weidman is ranked the number 2 MW in the world. I would like to know who you think is actually a MW Contender? Weidman actually beat Ryan Bader and Phil Davis in college wrestling (LHW's) when they went up against each other. He also has slick BJJ who has competed in grapplers quest he won't get caught ala Chael. His striking is always improving as seen in his last fight against Munoz. Spider would still destroy Weidman standing but that won't be Weidman's game plan. There is literally no one else at MW, But then again MW has always been weak. Spider would be the favorite and rightfully so. But I don't see how anyone else would have a case for a title shot above Weidman.He did, and disrespected Chael in the process; calling him a clown!
IMHO, Sonnen vs Belfor will be a better fight then Jones vs Belfor 2
For those who think C.Weidman is a legitimate contender think again; he has no wins against top opponents. His last wins were Damien Maia, Mark Munuoz, and Tom Lawlor.
M.Bisping would have been a cake walk for A.Silva but he has more than put in his time and deserved a chance, only losses in the UFC have been to top contenders (W.Silva, C.Sonnen, R.Evans, D.Henderson).
Bisping may have inherited the K.Jardine syptom of only fighting previous champions, and never getting a title bout.
