Brazilian Renzo Gracie believes in a different result for the rematch between Anderson Silva e Chris Weidman, but with the victory going the same way. Renzo, who is one of the North American's coaches, is confident of Weidman's new triumph in December, but this time through a submission.

“I really like Anderson, he’s an unbelievable champion. It's going to be a tough fight, but Weidman is the right guy for the job. If he (Anderson) isn't so careful, Weidman will get Anderson Silva to the ground and finish him”, said Gracie, in an interview with the “MMA Fighting” website.

    Anderson will knock him out, there's no need for Weidman to take him to the ground. But if you take AS you will be prepared.

    It's clear that Silva will take another beating, but now the bet is different, that is, will Weidman knock out or submit Silva?
    Now the UFC will have the tough task of finding a worthy fighter
    of Weidman, this is because Silva was never that fighter.

    This race of Gracie (Brazilian) is really cool, helping an American to keep his belt. I can't predict it but it would be great for Weidman to take a dick and see both of their shitty faces.

    it would be a great joy for weidman to win this fight, anderson has to retire, no one can swallow anymore, anderson never cared about Brazil and won't care anymore, a Brazilian who was seduced by America, few still remember his roots and his country like Jose Aldo. Anderson didn't even have to be considered, that's my opinion, I think that athletes who have the opportunity to do something for the sport in their country and don't do anything don't deserve recognition

      I agree with you. The people who like Brazil are Genuino and the PT group who are all here. Lula made a fortune of 4 billion dollars during his terms as president. Long live the monthly payers who love our country. From here they only leave to go to the Cayman Islands to deposit money and spend money on tours in the USA and Europe, but they always come back here to suck more from our people.
