the american Chris Weidman appears not to be intimidated by the recent comments made by the businessman of Anderson Silva, Ed Soares, about the reduced size of his name in the world of MMA. As soon as he found out about the campaign promoted, this Wednesday (30), by Soares to face the “Spider” on Brazilian soil, Weidman went to the Twitter and readily accepted the challenge.
“Ed Soares told Brazilian TV today: 'Fight with Anderson Silva in Brazil, Weidman'. I would love. I’m ready to sign,” the 28-year-old fighter posted on his account on the microblogging network.

The North American has been considered the main challenger for the middleweight title, which the Brazilian has Anderson Silva as champion.
