If Silva loses tonight I don't think he will be getting his "head knocked off". Weidman was a collegiate wrestler and has a decent submission game. If he can get Silva down without getting knocked out, I think he can grind out a win. I'm thinking Silva wins pretty easily unless Weidman can establish ground control and avoid making any mistakes that will allow Silva to throw a submission or scramble back to his feet.

Weidman is a wrestler, it may be a weak point for Silva, but Weidman just doesnt have the experience yet.

If Weidman tries to stay standing, he's going to lose badly.

Ahh, you type faster than me! I agree with your assessment.
