For a long time, UFC president Dana White has been looking for a big fight to headline a stadium event, football or football. And it seems that the leader found it in the rematch between Chris Weidman e Anderson Silva the opportunity I had been waiting for so long. White said, in an interview with the New York Post, that he wants to schedule the reunion for the Cowboys stadium, with a capacity for 105 thousand spectators.

With such a number – which depends, of course, on the exhaustion of available tickets – the UFC would, by far, set the attendance record for an MMA event in history. The stadium, home of Dallas Cowboys of the NFL (professional American football league), it is known for being one of the most modern on the planet and having the fifth largest screen in sports arenas – with an incredible 1.070 m².

Last Saturday (6), Chris Weidman knocked out Anderson Silva at UFC 162 and won the UFC middleweight title. Immediately after the fight ended, despite Anderson's statements to the contrary, a rematch was brought up on the agenda. In the main betting houses, including, Anderson Silva is already treated as a favorite for the reunion.

There is the result of the setup. Rematch in front of a full audience and he will fight seriously and finish off the American. Do you remember those fights with Ted Boy Marinho, the Verdugo, ets, etc? It's the same joke.
It would be crazy for Silva to accept a rematch against Weidman, as it has been proven that Weidman is superior to Silva. Silva was knocked out because he was afraid of Weidman and accepting a rematch will force Silva to end his career prematurely.
