Who in their right fucking mind would just bumrush Anderson Silva? Only Gangsters from West Lin would do such a foolish thing. In order to inspire another fighter into attacking, Anderson Silva would drop his hands and taunt people to get them to play his game. He's done it, like Jabba said, for damn near 9 years. This one night, he underestimated Weidman's reach, perhaps his power, and he got knocked the fuck out.

Let's be real though, Anderson went beyond his usual baiting. He was literally grabbing Weidman and positioning him. It's one thing to do that against a shot bum like Bonnar or someone not known for their standup like Maia and another to do that against someone with Weidman's track record.
His post fight reaction was strange too. Basically saying he's not interested in a rematch, but will fulfill the 10 fights on his contract. The whole thing is weird. There's only one real superfight and that's Jones. Outside of that there's nothing for him to do, but avenge that loss to Weidman.
