Comes down to his portion of PPV revenue. That's the only reason he gives a shit about name power. Him/Bisping would have done close to a million buys Id bet... Especially if he'd have beaten Vitor decisively. No one left in the division is a draw. I expect Anderson to start seriously negotiating super fights. He will retire soon and will want the money in the bank.

Maybe or he could just want to fight a standup guy and avoid strong wrestlers.

Rockhold "has" a belt. That makes more sense to me than Weidman.

Yeah. No way he beat him. Except the big fat fucking L on his record.

Billy Joe Rottoncrotch - Even if people here don't think Cung Le has a chance to win, can't we all agree that this would be a pretty amazing fight to watch?Great points

Anderson Ducking Weidman

Cung is not a draw. Is he a bigger name than Weidman? Yes, but any marginal advantage he has in name value is outweighed by the fact that its a matchup that makes no sense. Is cung in the top 20? It would not be a bigger ppv than an undefeated prospect who has the style to beat Anderson.

rockhold makes good horse sense; roll those dudes into the UFC ASAP and unify the belts then constaninos philippou for the lineal bellator championship. |

GableGrip - It's because Le is the easier fight.They should ban you for being a Moran . Look at the list of guys Anderson has beaten, compare it to Weidman's list and see who looks like a chump.

I think it's crazy to doubt that Anderson is the GOAT as far as fighting, but this is an obvious attempt to avoid a fight with a legitimate threat. Why is it that NO ONE else in MMA, not even Cung, has mentioned his name as a potential next fight, except for Ed Soares? Does anyone really believe they think he has a legit claim to #1 contender?

AS is not ducking anyone. It's a negotiating ploy that AS and Soares repeat over and over again before agreeing to a fight. They know if Dana wants a fight bad enough that he will give in. |

I don't recall him ever calling anyone out really.

Jason -LETMEBANGBRO - He's ducking Weidman !! Weidman is a massive draw and has crushed all the top names at 185 !!Is massive no a synonym for "awful" Then Jason, Rockhold with 20K less twitter followers must be a 'really' "awful" draw? The draw has nothing to do with the decision, it's got to be close to even inbetween the two. Hell it seems to make more sense to wait for Lombard V okami if you were wanting the biggest draw. Lombard could be promoted using his brutal KO's and the man looks the part! I think he'd draw more than either. Got to wonder about Cung's draw (movie star and all). Hell it's less of a joke than JBJ Vs Sonnen (by a tad lol). Par for the course here in the MMAE |

Lazer MMA -It's the fact that a fight with Rockhold has more marketability than a fight with weidman. Rockhold has also fought and beat better fighters.Jason -LETMEBANGBRO - He's ducking Weidman !! Weidman is a massive draw and has crushed all the top names at 185 !!Is massive no a synonym for "awful" Champion vs champion will sell even if the people don't know who the champion is that well. Champion vs weidman won't sell that well because the only top guy weidman beat (besides Maia which didn't help his stock too much) wasn't seen by many people because it was on fuel.

It can't be a blow out in marketability inbetween the the two IMO. No way is it enough to lose the credibility of not fighting the true #2. |
