Number 1 Middleweight Prospect in the World - Chris Weidman to face Sakara.

No one will give TLC a break::


Wiedman is decent, especially for only having 5 fights. The fact that he is even in the UFC at 5 fights and is not named Lesnar is huge. Most guys have to stay and prove themselves in smaller orgs for at least 10 fights before given the chance. I am not a huge fan of Sakara, but the guy is a seasoned vet and the fact that Wiedman really just dominated him was crazy. Wiedman will be around for a long time, TLC is on point with this kid.

 

The fact that he did it in 5 fights is great.

However, he did exactly what I thought he would do. He took Sakara down and imposed his will on him. The same thing that everyone has done to Sakara. I have high hopes for Chris and think he will do very well. However, Sakara has never been anything more than ordinary and has been proven to be very fragile physically and mentally.

 

absolutely. who would you give him next Bob?

 

I'd give him an easier confidence booster fight as this one was a bit of a test. Maybe Rivera? CB? MacDonald?
