"As much as it pains me to say it, I think Chris Weidman could be a bad match-up for Anderson Silva. We all saw what Chael did in that first fight and as well as the second fight. Chael completely dominated Anderson in the first round of their second fight, had full mount, etc., completely out-grappled him and kinda fell apart in the second round. Does Chris Weidman have a chance? Without trying to be funny and disparaging towards Chris Weidman, I'd say yes, he does. If I cut the bullshit for a second, yeah, he definitely has a shot. I think it's an interesting fight."
-Michael Bisping breaks down the upcoming UFC Middleweight Title bout between Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva at UFC 162 (transcribed by BJPenn.com).
Penick's Analysis: Even though most rightfully believe Silva will come out of this fight the same way he's come out of every fight he's had in the UFC, Chris Weidman has as good of a chance as any other. We've spelled out before what Weidman would have to do to win, and there's a possibility he pulls it off, but until someone actually defeats Silva, there's no reason to bet against him.
