but to respond to the point i think you're trying to make, even if weidman tries to "sonnen" him, i doubt he has the skillset sonnen does, is probably not going to be on the roids as chael was that night, and more importantly, even sonnen himself couldnt do it a second time.
Well it sure as hell describes the weidman AS fight more than you vs AS. I used that fight as a reference because of some important similarities between the two fights, which I think we all can agree on.
Anders/JDS has the better pure standup(not talking about takedowns which can alter the standup to a degree, like in the 1st sonnen fight), though the standup disrepancy is much bigger in the AS/Weidman.
It's a 5 round fight, and Weidman/Cain have to use aggressive takedown attempts in order to win the fight. Cain had to do it to bring the tempo up, bc obviously JDS didn't have the cardio to do it for 5 rounds, so he could tire him out, which is why he rocked him in the first round, much like Sonnen kept on tagging AS. Reason why Cain won 2nd time is because he never gave JDS the chance to settle in and do his own attacks.
Now the questions are if Weidman can keep that 5 round tempo, and if he does it for say, 2-3 rounds, is AS going to be as tired as JDS was in the 2nd fight?
