You didn't think the takedown in the first was legit? You believe he wasn't trying...at all, to counter Weidman's punches while on his back? You didn't think he was making it a point to not end up on the ground with Weidman for the small remainder of the match?
Comparing Bonnar and Weidman = comparing apples and oranges. They have different backgrounds... and the outcome was different...and the fact that it was predestined to be different was inevitable.
Speaking of that (some more wrestling bias), Silva has only faced 3 (including Weidman) highly accomplished wrestlers (that I can think of). An aged Henderson...whooptie-doo. Sonnen, which we all know, match 1 it appeared as if Sonnen had it locked up with a few minutes remaining in the match...match 2, of course was Silva-domination. Now Weidman...who he lost to and will probably lose to again. It's fair to say that the dude has struggled a bit more with wrestlers than he has other fighters.
