Chris Weidman incurred his third consecutive loss on Saturday night against Gegard Mousasi at UFC 210. But it was a decision that was marred by major controversy.
It all happened in the second round of their co-main event fight, when Mousasi threw two knee strikes to Weidman’s head, as the former middleweight champion had both his hands down. Referee Dan Miragliotta called for time soon after, deeming Mousasi’s strikes illegal.
Miragliotta did reverse his initial call and deemed the strikes legal after reviewing the situation further. Ringside doctors, however, put the fight to a stop and gave Mousasi the TKO victory after declaring Weidman unfit to continue.
