If Chris Weidman is going to do what no one else in the UFC has been able to do, he’ll have two supporters looking in closely – on opposite ends of the fan spectrum. Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) on Saturday challenges Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) for the UFC middleweight title in the UFC 162 main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Weidman is about a 2-to-1 underdog, but many believe he has a better chance to take Silva’s title than anyone before him. One of those who like his chances is a new fan – none other than UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre . He is so confident in Weidman pulling the upset that he moved forward with preparations for Johny Hendricks rather than holding out hope Silva will defend his title and set up a long-discussed superfight against St-Pierre
