July 6th, 2013, MGM Grand Arena. My first ever Las Vegas UFC event attended, headlined by the dominant and heavily favoured Anderson Silva against the unheralded but undefeated, Chris Weidman. I had watched Weidman brutally knockout Mark Munoz the year previously and believed his strong wrestling base would give Silva a test. But even I was dumbstruck when he shocked the world, making Silva pay for his clowning around in the 2nd round.
Weidman shocks the world!
After ending Silva’s 17-fight undefeated streak Weidman struggled to garner the attention that a win of this magnitude deserved.
