It might have been a relatively slow news week in MMA, but with a UFC middleweight title fight looming and a mind-blowingly rad video of the behind-the-scenes madness from Nick Diaz ‘s WAR MMA making the Internet rounds, there’s still plenty to talk about in this week’s Twitter Mailbag. You can direct your own question to @BenFowlkesMMA on Twitter, or you can go old school and jot it down in a message in a bottle instead. Just saying though, I live in a land-locked state. * * * * Depends how he loses. If, say, Chris Weidman falls down on a spinning backfist attempt and gets finished seconds later, sure, maybe we’ll write that one off as a valuable learning experience. But if Anderson Silva goes into full Jedi mode and knocks him out while the two of them are standing toe-to-toe, that will probably become Exhibit Y in Silva’s ongoing argument for greatest of all time. What I’m more interested in is what the story will be if Weidman wins. Will MMA fans jump on his bandwagon and tow it all the way back to Long Island
