As the North American had already said John hendricks, to take the belt from an Ultimate super champion you have to beat him twice. Confirming the hypothesis of the next challenger to the Canadian title Georges St Pierre, this Thursday (4), UFC president Dana White stated that if Chris Weidman win Anderson Silva, a rematch will be granted immediately to the Brazilian.
"If the Chris Weidman If you win this fight, the rematch will be huge. Huge! If the Anderson Silva If you lose your first fight in the UFC, we'll do a rematch. If he loses, on Saturday night you can announce that the rematch will take place, but don't ask me when”, said the manager, in a chat with the press after the UFC 162 press conference, in Las Vegas (USA).
