UFC 168 Silva vs Weidman 2

Just a week after the shocking events at UFC 162, Dana White has announced that at UFC 168 Weidman will defend his belt against Anderson Silva. This will be the co-main event, alongside Meisha Tate vs Ronda Rousey. Does this have anyone else puzzled at the moment? Last I checked, Silva said he wanted to take a couple of months off and think about his future. Apparently all Silva needed was one week. I won't get ahead of myself because I am excited to see this fight but Silva cannot walk into the octagon and put on another lazy performance. With the majority of the UFC community debating whether or not Silva "handed" the belt over to Weidman, the last thing Dana White needs is a rematch that plays out the same way and in the same fashion. Should Weidman retain the belt, this opens up the door for the entire Middleweight division. Especially for guys like Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping. If Silva takes the belt back, things become a little more interesting. Of course, the demand for a Jon Jones super fight will begin all over again and Dana White will have to do a little more than make promises for fights that have yet to take place. Come on Dana, stop making promises and start making fights. Silva would also have to decide how much longer he wants to stay with the UFC. After all, when a fighter is closing in on 40 that question has to be in the back of their mind. With UFC 168 taking place in December, this would be the year's last fight. With GSP defending his belt in the coming months and with Jon Jones doing the same, could 2013 be the year of upsets?
