Belfort has historically not matched up well with wrestlers. Striking wise, Belfort should have the speed, power, and technique advantage. Grappling should even out, although I might give a slight edge to Belfort. 

What worked out so well for Weidman in his fight with Machida was his pressure. Pressuring Machida and getting close to him in the first 3 rounds. Once Machida became the aggressor in the later rounds, Machida did much better. I'm not sure Weidman will be able to handle the pressure Belfort brings in the first two rounds. Not to mention, Weidman hasn't faced anyone with the power of Belfort.

Power of Belfort? Yeah TRT Belfort. It's a leap of faith to assume anything resembling that guy is entering the cage.

Weidman's wrestling and ju-jitsu is superior, I'd give the grappling edge to Weidman.

Belfort literally looks half the size of his fights on TRT.

Weidman is no Cain Velasquez. won one fight because Anderson Silva was too cocky, won the other because Silva broke his leg. Went the full 5 rounds vs Machida.  

Take the +100 on over 2.5 rounds. Weidman is not THAT good (but will win).

Weidman's boring and can only defend his title vs all the old guys in Middleweight. Guy's overrated.

All the guys in that division in the top 15 are over 30 genius!!! Besides Rockhold and Mousasi, everybody else mid 30's.So he gets by Belfort and Rockhold ole Chris will hold the belt for a long time!!!!

Weidman clearly won every round contested against Silva.  What are you talking about?  Sure, Silva was showboating and got caught but he was also clearly losing the fight before it happened.

So I had written out a long write up about Belfort/Weidman, but when I was switching tabs on my safari browser, it refreshed the page.

Long story short, I'm covering myself on my Belfort plays with a parlay:

Johnson/Weidman/Cerrone/Browne

200/526

I think Weidman gets it done early.  Vitor did not look good at the weigh-in and Weidman's been sounding VERY confident all week that he'll finish him within 2 rounds.  Good luck jedi, your parlay style is strange but hope you get back in the win column
