Chris Weidman asked for his fight with Mark Munoz, and things seemed to go not bad. Not bad at all.

Now he wants another fight – an even bigger one. And he believes if given a crack at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, he’ll shock the world.

“I asked for (Munoz), and the UFC was willing to give me the fight I wanted,” Weidman on Friday told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “Mark Munoz was probably the worst matchup for me on paper. He’s a wrestler and he has powerful striking. But I took the test, and I was able to pass it.”
