Silva comes into the match after losing for the first time in years to Weidman and now he gets the chance to get the belt back and after last time out Weidman ended up on top with more strikes and a better strike percentage and was one of three on his takedowns. Silva has the chance to get back on track on Saturday night and the MGM Grand Garden Arena could be his lucky charm and Rousey's fight could be more entertaining than last time out. Tate was finished off quickly by Rousey the first time around and this could be a much better fight.
