LAS VEGAS – Chris Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) promised to ruin the UFC’s plans for an interdivisional superfight, and he made good on his end of the bargain by downing MMA legend Anderson Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC). And while “The Spider” doesn’t seem interested in a rematch right now, UFC President Dana White believes Weidman and Silva will meet again in their next appearance. “Anderson Silva needs to go home, hang out with his family, take a week or two to shake this thing off,” White told a small group of reporters following Saturday’s post-UFC 162 press conference. “There are times when guys will win a fight, and they don’t want to talk for three weeks. It’s really part of the process, it really is, and especially a big night like tonight. And when you lose the way that he lost, there’s a process for this.” Weidman and Silva headlined Saturday’s UFC 162 event at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. The undefeated Weidman was supremely confident throughout the buildup to the fight, and he shocked the world with a crushing second-round knockout of the former champ, whose showboating antics did little to get inside his opponent’s head.
