But she’s not satisfied. As much as her octagon debut at UFC 157 changed her life, and as proud as she is to inspire a new wave of female fighters, she still has one goal on her mind. “Hopefully after this fight, it’ll put me right back as being a contender for the belt,” she told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Weidman has stated that he admires Silva and his desire to fight the champion has fueled him throughout his undefeated career. “I changed the life of Chris Weidman because Weidman fights for the belt Saturday.  This is good.  This is my legacy.  This is more important for me,” said Silva during the UFC 162 open workouts on Wenesday.  “This is very important.  Weidman has a big chance on Saturday.  This is very important.  This is the sport.  This is the UFC.  It’s the best sport in the world.” Many feel Weidman may be the guy to dethrone the greatest fighter of all time and that Chael Sonnen provided a blueprint on how to do it. “Chael is Chael, Weidman is Weidman,” said Silva.   “The UFC has the best fighters in the world.   Not me, all of us.” Be sure to  Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook  and  Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter
