Chris Weidman surprised the world and knocked out the previously unbeatable Anderson Silva at UFC 162 in July. Despite a great performance from the North American, Spider's posture in the Octagon was seen as the main reason for the Brazilian's setback. Now, with the rematch scheduled for next Saturday (28), in the main fight of UFC 168, the American didn't like being asked about finding a 'different' opponent in the octagon.

There is no loss of motivation. Anderson Silva It’s the hardest fight I could have,” said Weidman, who revealed that he already imagines the possibility of facing Anderson once again.

“I knew there would be a rematch if I won, and it arrived. I'll have to win again. I didn't want to be surprised by anything Anderson might do.

I have a lot to prove to myself, as my goal is to be the best in the world”, added Chris during the press conference before the duel.

    I WANT ANDERSON AKA ARANHA TO LOSE IN THE REMATCH, ONLY THEN WE WILL HAVE RENEWAL AND I HARDLY WISH THAT BELFORT LOSES ALL HIS FIGHTS, TO BECOME A HUMBLE FIGHTER and with a little effort, become likeable, which is not for the sake of his arrogance and evil in combat. A SUGGESTION FOR VICTOR BELFORT: MAYBE HE WILL FIGHT THE UNBEATABLE DANIEL CORMIER.
