And dude thinks he not only deserves the win but deserves the TKO???? His opponent was standing up when the ref called it. Even if it was a legitimate knockdown, it was the worst stoppage ever
Chris ‘Bones’ Weidman
The MMA community is fucking brutal 😂everyone was just showing love to weidman now dudes being called a cheater gotta love it 👏🏼
His hand was in that “ice bag” to hide the sanitation effort to preserve his fingers from Brunos brain fluid, moisture for his eye’s ducts, and any eye crust silva may have had from waking up that day… omg what a chump🏆*champ
Totally NC, terrible call on everyone. Definitely not an earned win.
Chris was winning up until the eye poke anyway, however it's still the eye poke ultimately that made Bruno go down, in fact he got double eye poked if you look at it in slow motion. What makes it even more absurd is that in the fight before this, that Ruziboev guy eye poked his opponent and then swarmed on him as the ref didn't seem to notice it. So both Ruziboev and Chris effectively won via eye poke. BTW I am a Chris fan and I was rooting for him, but come on, let's not pretend like that wasn't a BS ending to the fight.
Chris Weidman. Such a disgraceful win. that Ref should have disqualified him or called it a no contest. Not one eye poke but three, another Ref would have stopped the fight right there and gave it to Bruno Silva. This was a real bad call and should be overturned.
Doesn`t get more blatant than that. L fighter. No honor. Kick him out Dana.
The All American Zero, what a travesty win.
The 1-2 eye poke was a crazy "win"
Apparently Krav Maga does work.
Protect your eyes at all times
Damn u could have been real and be like yeah i didnt mean to poke his eye but it happened
Weirdman
Lmao, either people are still mad about Weidman whooping Anderson Silvas ass twice, or Bruno chalked a lot of parlays. Weidman looked good in there (as good a 40 yr old Weidman can be) but I do hope he rides off into the sunset with this win.
Can't believe Chris is celebrating this win? I thought Chris was a solid dude with integrity. This guy is weird.
Ridiculous, 4 eye pokes in 1 fight does not take responsibly, pathetic so desperate for a win will even take one where he clearly committed multiple fouls then blames the opponent!!! referee is to blame, what is the point of replays.
Currently at 341 likes, and 2.5k dislikes... This guy just sabotaged his legacy.
Retire Chris you are not a elite fighter anymore
That ref Copeland is an awful referee. He had early stoppages and bullshit timeouts all night. And then he completely misses the double eyepoke from old Chris Eyedman here. The ref needs to stay out of the fight.
Not just bad reffing. A real disgrace for the UFC.
That ref was terrible. Please do not let him ref another fight in the UFC.
