What was obvious to all unbiased fans has been acknoledged by JBJ and GSP: Silva lost because he was clowning. That's a fair win for Weidman because it was Silva's choice to fight that way and Weidman did what he had to do. Weidman capitalized on Silva's gross underestimation of him or overestimation of himself.
But sherdoggers just know it better: Allegedly, Weidman forced Silva to behave that way. Silva was not clowning but had to defend the takedown and could not punch Weidman unless with a counter etc. While GSP and JBJ say nothing about how Weidman used his superoir fighting skills to force Silva into this situation but only that he profited from an unnecessary mistake, sherdoggers are sure that Weidman was just the better fighter.
Everybody who saw the fight knows that Silva made a mistake. Weidman did not win because of his own skills and he definitely did not force Silva to make this mistake by pressuring him. Actually, we don't know who is better because Silva's clowning prevented a real fight from taking place. We will have to wait for the re-match and hope that Silva takes it seriously.
I predict that Silva will destroy Weidman because I think he only clowned around because he thought he had it in the bag after testing Weidman and feeling him out.
JBJ and GSP saw nothing in Weidman's skills that was superior to Silva - so why do sherdoggers see so much? Do they understand striking better than GSP and JBJ? Is it not funny how everbody ignores the obvious, that Silva didn't really fight, and acts as if Weidman had just beat Silva with his superior skills in a regular fight? Weidman beat Silva fair and square and is the champ. But he showed nothing to make us think he is a so much better fighter than Silva. So let's not ignore what we all saw and what professional fighters (incidently the two best p4p in the world) saw in this fight. The jury is still out on who is the better fighter. But since Silva believed that he could beat Weidman so easily (which is why he behaved that way) I am leaning heavily into the direction of devastating knockout in a re-match.
