The unusual “seal” between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman at the weigh-in at UFC 162, just over 24 hours before the North American won the Ultimate middleweight belt, it was one of the most memorable moments of the first duel between the current and former champion. This Tuesday (24), after a press conference held in Las Vegas (USA), in a joking tone, Anderson covered his mouth to prevent the scene from happening again.
The interview was marked by the presence of a Anderson Silva extremely succinct, which even made Dana White ask, in his ear, that the Brazilian speak a little more to the journalists and fans present at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. On the other side of the bench, what was seen was a Chris Weidman very relaxed and willing to talk about winning the title, months ago.
Asked about people who believe he was lucky in his first fight, Chris Weidman appeared unconcerned. "I'm not bothered. He (Anderson) deserves that kind of respect, he's the best of all time. I knew there would be a rematch, he deserves it. Even when I win again, there will be people thinking it was luck. In this sport there are a lot of envious people. There will always be people doubting you”, said the American, who also stated that he will go for the knockout or submission in the rematch.
Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman meet again in the main fight of UFC 168, on December 28, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (USA). Tickets for the fight go on sale this Friday (27). In the night's co-main event, the TUF 18 coaches Ronda Rousey e Miesha Tate face each other for the women's bantamweight division belt.
