Talking on the MMA Hour on Wednesday, Weidman said of his fight with Silva: “I feel like it’s a legitimate win. It’s never happened before Of course, I am sorry that it happened, and it sucks that it ended that way, but you could make a very strong argument that I got eye poked – by far the most devastating eye poke of all the eye pokes. “I didn’t drop to the mat and try to get time, and all eye pokes aren’t created the same.”
