Next opponent is gonna wear goggles during the fight
Weidmann is completely divorced from reality 😂😂 I've never seen a double eyepoke into strike threepiece finish. He ran around like he won afterwars too complete disgrace he fell off hard USA doesn't want you.
Are we all going to act like Chris wasn’t whooping Bruno before the stoppage. He won both the 1st and 2nd decisively. Not a good way to end the fight but we was winning the majority of it prior to the stoppage
Chris 'Cringe' Weidman….
Karma will get this guy again just like it did after he celebrated after Anderson Silva.
We need Musashi
Allways like rooting for you Chris but this was bs with the eye pokes. Should have been a automatic dq
Homie had a ice pack on his head lmao attention???
Retire already you won't win the next fight..cheater
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.
A Cheater, thats his boi!
"Maybe he was looking for a way out…". Wow! Self-awareness is a tough thing.
Chris "poke em in the eye!" Weidman. What's with the ego? Aa annoying as yer Dad.
Delusional Long Island ego
What a clown this guy is, they didnt even take one single point from him
He is a POS and his team are known for dirty tactics
Scumbag behavior.
Man, i legit think weidman would have gotten less backlash if he popped for steroids after his leg break 😂 ive seen prime jon jones and not even he exclusively fought a fight with ONLY FINGERS.
Silva got his ass whooped for 3 rounds , and almost was saved by an eye poke. Bad ending to a good performance by Chris. Don’t ever pussy up and turn ur back on someone that’s attacking you and beg a ref to stop the fight . The red should have stopped it . Stupid
No shame
Officially not a fan of this guy any more. He was such a legend which also makes it suck a lot more
reporter :" CONgratulations on a big win ""
the whole world : whooo the FFOOOOk is this guy
That sycophant pipsqueak dork doing the interview should be ashamed of himself too “the irony is crazy”. Was he born with no spine?
Sorry, bro, with that shiner, you lost that fight.😂
dude must have been training with Rick flair. After all, the UFC did acquire the WWE🤔
lol you just gotta dig deep (in both eye sockets), sometimes u just gotta bite down and want it , this it what seperates the eyes from the sockets LOL
Cheating to get a win….what a joke
Way to go Chris! One step at a time towards The Championship again!
I mean kinda bullshit in a way he was winning without the eye pokes both eyes, but there again really not Chris's fault these shady @ss referee & judges about every fight anymore.
This guy doesnt seem to have any brain cells while being a fighter
Why would he intentionally do that when he was winning unanimously and there was only a couple minutes left? If he was losing I could understand but doesn't really make sense if he's gonna win in a couple minutes.
chris pokémon weidman 😂😂😂
This one is gonna kick up a stink..but I get what he is saying when it comes to the eye pokes….he didn’t mean it I that moment,if you’ve ever trained mma it’s a simple reaction,definitely not intentional
UFC robs ppl once again
Chris 'All Eye Poke' 😂 Weidman
No honor. No class. Celebrates like a bum.
Whoever the first media member is, you should be ashamed of yourself
Not only is Weidman Leg-Less..
We now Know that he is also Spine-Less..
Chris "The Leg-Less, Spine-Less" Weidman.
What a butt hole, I pity his kids, he's going to see how unpopular he is quickly
Bad refereeing all the way. There was a point deduction on a second inadvertent groin shot in the prelims and Chris Weidman double pokes with both hands and gets a unanimous victory after a TKO decision was overturned. It is a disgrace. Chris we love you at the PPV weigh-in shows. Please retire and join that on a permanent basis…
Weidman is a two-faced disgrace!
Smh weidmam at least own up to it
He’s really showing how desperate he is for a win
Same camp that had the paper champ
The eye pokes were definitely unintentional, anyone acting like Chris did it on purpose is just talking just to talk like most “fans” so not surprised. He definitely could’ve handled it better tho. Don’t really agree with what he’s saying about it. He looked good in this fight, just unfortunate that this many eye pokes happened. And the commission followed the rules btw by making it a technical decision. I’d be fine with a DQ tho. But that’s the rules bruh. The same people trashing Chris rn are the same people that praise Jon jones for intentionally eye poking people 100 times
Weidmans a beast for beating up the guy who Alex went to war with.
I've never seen anyone celebrated that much off an eye poke win.
Double eye poke
