Look, we aren’t saying that Anderson Silva threw the fight against Chris Weidman or anything here, but what we are saying is that there has been a lot of talk about Chris Weidman getting a ton of hype leading into this bout and Anderson not taking the fight seriously inside of the ring. After the fight a lot of people were claiming that the fight was “fixed” or that Silva had lost intentionally, which forced Dana White to go on a bit of a tirade.
But then, this pre-fight interview pops up and at around 5:01 or so Anderson is asked what the perfect outcome for the fight is, and his answer was Chris Weidman as the new UFC Champion. He goes on to explain that he wins and wins and wins and that he’s tired, very tired.
