“I thought I was going to win because of the illegal knee,” Weidman said. “He left the octagon and looked at a replay, and said it was a legal knee. But in the state of New York, there are no replays. So it’s a crappy situation.
“If it was a legal knee, I would have loved to have just kept fighting. It shouldn’t have been stopped, but the ref, at the end of the day, is the one who made a judgement call, and in the state of New York, his word is what counts. There’s no replay.”
“I feel like I was on the way to winning that fight,” Weidman said. “Gegard has to be pissed, too. He doesn’t want to win like that. I would have been pissed if they stopped the fight, and I won it.”
Trying to claim a win off a technicality is pretty weak. And had they not stopped the fight, he was on his way to getting knocked out
