\nFormer TUF competitor and UFC Middleweight Ed Herman<\/a> sounded off in regards to Anderson Silva<\/a> today. In Herman’s eyes the champ is ducking potential #1 contender Chris “The All-American” Weidman<\/a>. Herman went on record as saying<\/p>\n

“Anderson’s trying to duck him. I think it’s ’cause Weidman can beat him and everyone knows it. It sucks, there’s politics involved, there’s a lot of money on the line, and it’s sad to see the No. 1 contender not get a shot because Anderson’s camp is choosing who he wants to fight. I’d like to see Weidman get a shot because I think he can take out Anderson Silva.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Herman’s will be facing Jake Shields<\/a> at UFC 150<\/a> this Saturday.<\/p>\n
