Chris Weidman loses NYSAC appeal after controversial stoppage at UFC 210

On the latest edition of The MMA Hour, Chris Weidman revealed that he lost the appeal of his controversial loss to Gegard Mousasi at UFC 210.

At the time of the fight, it was believed that the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) could not use instant replays for the events that they oversee. Days after the April event, NYSAC confirmed in a statement to MMAFighting.com that instant replays are “officially allowed” in the state of New York.

The referee for the bout, Dan Miragliotta, called a stop to the action midway through the second round after Gegard Mousasi delivered two knees to Weidman’s head as he was trying to make himself a grounded opponent with his two hands on the canvas.
