He clowned.
He dared.
And in the end, Anderson Silva played with fire - and got torched.
With a left hook that shattered the shenanigans of the greatest fighter in the history of mixed martial arts, Chris Weidman instantly became the Buster Douglas of UFC. He knocked out the unbeatable champion. In boxing it was Mike Tyson. For seven years in UFC, it was Silva.
In a fight weirder than Jack in the Box's new hamburger that's inexplicably topped with onion rings - and cucumbers? - Silva was his usual, disrespectful self. His excessive showboating to the monumental underdog Weidman included dropping his hands and even pointing to his chin as to say, "Hit me here. Right here."
Pow! Just like that, Weidman's 2nd-round hook floored Silva, immortalized UFC 162 and raised questions about the whole thing's credibility and legitimacy.
