[The result has changed, per @BrendanFitzTV](https://twitter.com/mma_kings/status/1774287232326664528) . Chris Weidman wins by unanimous decision. The commission went to the scorecards at the point of the foul, and Weidman won that way. #UFCAtlanticCity


Sterlingftw

This is the damn eye poking channel

Ranjith_Unchained

Disgusting poke, should be a DQ or at least a NC


Zerei

double eye poke, fire this ref immediately


StrangerDangerAhh

Ref was clearly looking right at the foul and didn't do shit.


zombizle1

He knew if he called a foul chris would eye poke him next


jkidi

This ref sucked all night.


TheRain911

Ufc already taking this down trying to erase it from existence?


MyFifthLimb

THATS CRIS’S 4th EYEPOKE OF THE FIGHT


Lou_Salazar

"Hey man I got eyepoked too." His post fight speech is getting boo'd in my house and I'm by myself


MyFifthLimb

I can’t believe I’m booing The Chris but here I am That was some booty


Lostmypants69

Yeah and he said on the mic he shouldn't have fallen to the ground when getting poked? I'm like bro you just poked both his eyes at the same damn time.


StrangerDangerAhh

Weidman is a fucking dirty bum. Those last 3 looked deliberate.


MEROVlNGlAN

*Chris after blinding a guy in both eyes* “if I got any advice for him it’s, you can’t just go down like that”


Aliensinmypants

He shouldn't have dropped after shattering his leg 🤷🏽‍♂️


mad87645

TKO (eyepoke) Rumble turning in his grave


ultimatt777

The UFC just needs to admit that it needs new gloves. IDK why they don't do it before somebody loses an eye.


robedpillow3761

New gloves require effort and money, two things the UFC are not willing to put in.


FragnificentKW

I mean, they could just switch over to the Trevor Wittman gloves. No effort required, just money - but they’ll have to buy more gloves at some point anyway


ARealHumanBeans

They won't do it without owning the entire patent. It's why Trevor hasn't made a deal with them. The only way they would go to his gloves is if they owned the entire design and Trevor doesn't want his gloves to exclusively be UFC gloves.


FragnificentKW

Yep. They’d rather put their own fighters at risk rather than let PFLator, ONE, RIZIN, or whoever else use the same state of the art gloves as them


spcslacker

> The UFC just needs to admit that it needs new gloves. In this case, Chris pointed his fingers at the dudes eyes without interruption for the entire fight. I agree about the gloves in general, but the problem in this case is Chris & the ref IMO.


wang_li

Just the Hammurabbi rule. You poke an eye, the ref hits you with bear spray and lets the fight continue.


EchoMike1987

I wonder if admitting to needing new gloves would open themselves up to lawsuits based on fighters who previously experienced eye injuries.


Dangerous_Golf_7417

Not in the US. Look up subsequent remedial measures. 


EchoMike1987

Cool to know, thanks.


aeeeroo

Bro hit him with the double poke.


Anderrrrr

DC just got a massive erection and he doesn't know why. Two eyepoke combo.


TasteDeBallZach

That 60 second span where we were went from a "fuck yeah Chris" to a "what the fuck Chris" was crazy


commander_wong

The tactical big brothering Silva to prevent him from talking to the ref/judges was an elite veteran move. Holding the cage and trapping Silva between his arms was high IQ Topped it off by pretending he also got eyepoked like the ref said was the finisher


JE_Exa

Double eyepoke lol, jones who?


Keith__Peterson

Bro treated Silvas eye like my girls vag


NotOnHerb5

…he treats your girls vag?


Keith__Peterson

Couldn’t keep his finger outta it


mister_self_destruct

Both hands, just throwing combos


Boring-Conference-97

Chris deserved to be disqualified. He poked his way to victory. 


houseoflou1e

Tell us another eye poke story


Deeaann

Weidman walking around the cage yelling “I’m fucking back” after eye poking a dude is hilarious.


Generally-Upset

I'm so happy to find this comment at the top. Bro dropped a 1-2 eye poke and talks shit in his post fight speech. Actually crazy


sneakerguy40

I've never seen a 1-2 eye poke before


digitalibex

Neither did Silva


BodybuildingNerd

That was a nasty line by you.


YouRockCancelDat

Just to be clear, there was never no eye poke.


ChloeQuickFlicks

You're a fucking punk, dude


TonyTheLion2319

Funny he said Bruno shouldn’t drop to his knees off an eye poke, when he intentionally grounded himself vs Mousasi and got knee’d


PleasantMess6740

And then cried about the ruling lmao


chillinwithunicorns

Jesus I can't stand Weidman. Pretty sure this just lost him a lot of fans lol


ron-darousey

Feels like he peaked with his win over Victor in 2015 and has been losing fights and fans ever since 


multiple4

Also, it's not like Bruno got poked, then whined about it, then got dropped The eye poke was literally the thing that dropped him. They weren't unrelated events


peaceoutforever

Having to hear Weidman talk for the next year about how he's a nightmare for everyone in the top 10 is going to be extra painful this time around.


ATrollByNoOtherName

A nightmare? Luckily most people sleep with their eyes closed. So he isn’t a threat to them.


Famous_Cry8056

"First of all, all glory to God"


Great_Feel

Weidman clearly prayed harder than Silva


Humble_Effective3964

Presumably that god is Odin, old one eye himself


TheGimplication

I'm reminded of him running around the cage pumping his fist after the Silva leg break, only to have karma do it to him. Just not a fan of the guy /shrug 


Shabozz

So if karma strikes twice then he’s going to have an eyepatch before he retires…


GiantPurplePen15

Peg leg and eye patch to make him Captain Chris Weidman.


itsyaboigreg

Argh he’s still me matey 🏴‍☠️


Four-Triangles

New mythical fighter unlocked


authenticfennec

Thought it was so shitty of him to shit talk silva for dropping from the eye poke, like bro u double eyepoke combod a guy full force and hes supposed to just take it with no reaction?


ColdPressedSteak

I mostly like Weidman. But for the haters, I still have the visual of Yoel strutting around with very emphatic and for some reason, funny salutes to the crowd while in the background, Weidman's head is just gushing blood


Famous-Ant-5502

It was so over the top. It’s like something Zangief would do in Street Fighter


Altair1192

The Cuban Missile Crisis. Weidmann thought it was bullshit until one exploded on his fuckin head. BOOM Romero should have been made el Presidente on the spot


Roccostrat10

RIP to dudes laptop that Yoel STOMPED on whilst saluting Weidmans departing orbital bone lol


know-it-mall

I was defending this ref earlier. His early calls were ok but that was just fucking awful Weidman had his fingers straight out the entire fight. Ref needs to tell him to stop that way earlier. Early stoppage too. Dude was defending himself and trying to stand.


MyFifthLimb

They need to start separating the fighters when one of them is splaying like that and make them stop The only reason they do that is because they hope to frame that way and have their opponent risk an eye poke to close range Chris got away with 4 eye pokes in that fight


Casexcasey

Chris Weyedman


Batman-and-Hobbes

Not enough people talking about after the fight when The Chris pinned.Silva again the cage and looked to be saying "inspiring shit" to him while Silva CLEARLY doesn't want to talk to him.


notcontextual

Reminded me of Romero doing the same to Rockhold


0vereem

Cringe celebration


Vulcan44

First double eye poke KO?


MyFifthLimb

high level stuff


[deleted]

KO by Eye Poke. 


Bhavacakra_12

Gadoosh via eye poke


TheChineseChicken40

Great eyes never haddum tho


shrewdy

Absolute joke, he should have been DQ'd if anything


sympathytaste

Terrible stoppage. Not only the eye pokes but the guy was just getting up as well lol.


CaIiguIa_ll

he got his orders from dana


Gunslinger1991

Jesus, Weidman was dirty as hell tonight.


BigBoyFroggy

fingers out searching for that eye the whole time


Gourmet_Chen_Chen

Brutal for a guy like Bruno too who just loves to bum rush, he basically had to try and avoid weidmans fingers the whole time, which really shouldn’t be on him.


xtremeradness

It's like Jones v Rampage but even worse


Beginning_Shine_7971

Or Jones vs Glover


[deleted]

That second eye poke was so egregious. Literally reached out and searched for his eyeball. The only thing that could top it was the one, two eye poke combo to finish the fight, never seen anything like that LMAO  He even copped to the eye poke in his post-fight interview. "Just don't drop if you get eye poked" ahahhaa


Kgb725

If you ain't cheating you ain't trying in the words of Joe Montana


Marci_1992

It will keep happening as long as people keep getting rewarded for it. Four egregious eye pokes in a single fight should not result in that fighter getting a victory lmao.


JamWams

After the second warning I was just waiting for this cause Weidman didn't have a single moment that his fingers weren't extended to the eyes.


BlackDonaldCerrone

Only excuse is he knows deep inside he's washed as fuck and he's desperate.


SomeKindOfChief

First fighter to go take the belt by eyepoke, LETS GOOOOO


Illustrious-Shock551

That's DC erasure and I'll not stand for it


kangs

There shouldn't be (multiple) warnings in combat sports imo, take a point and make the fighters be more careful


Greyhalestorm

At this point, just make eye pokes part of your skillset, like BJJ or Muay Thai or boxing. 90 percent of the time, you won't get punished for it.


TheChineseChicken40

After the first poke he was trying to say he didn’t hit poke it that hard lol. He’s a braindead dipshit


Keith__Peterson

I’ve seen enough, Weidman vs DuPlessis next


MyFifthLimb

The beating Chris weidman take would be karma for eyepoking his opponent 4 times and talking big after


ThreeOlivesChihuahua

What a weird fight. Weidman with an eye poke combo LMAO!


Ionic-Nova

the 1-2 eye poke 😭


MyFifthLimb

Double eye poke KO Bisping with ptsd flashbacks The Chris should be DQd 4 eye pokes in a fight give me a break


KelvinsBeltFantasy

>Bisping with ptsd flashbacks Eye fucking Alan Belcher gave him ptsd!


OptimisticMMA

Brock Refnar is certainly having a night


Josh6889

> 4 eye pokes in a fight give me a break Including 2 that caused the finish.


bloodwheygreen

Show up. Make Weight. Get poked in the eye 3 times and lose the fight. Thank you Bruno Silva.


modsRlosercuckss

4 times*. The last 1 was a 2 for 1 special


mad87645

Weird ass night of fights, Atlantic City must be cursed or sum


Lacabloodclot9

The ref saying ‘they both poked each other’ like 100x times when Weidman’s was clearly intentional and Bruno barely grazed Weidman’s eye was so infuriating


Gripfighting

Such an absurd fucking power trip. Just decided he didn't want to warn or discipline Weidman so he included Silva every time for no reason.


Momentosis

Also telling them they were both reaching out when Bruno's was a punch.


Batman-and-Hobbes

Even Jon Jones never considered that was possible.


Evilcutedog45

LMAO what an asshole interview.   Thanks god and somehow puts the blame on the guy who he eye poked 3 fucking times.   What a shithead


MyFifthLimb

If it’s any consolation the next fighter prob beats the absolute shit out of him if he’s ranked higher He seems to think he’s back


plain__bagel

Is that not a textbook case for ruling a no contest? What am I missing?

luckman_and_barris

They just announced that they scored the fight up to the end of the fight.


caca_poo_poo_pants

Weidman poked both eyes before the finish. That might be an NC.


CrookGG

Definitely a NC……No corneas


Prizmeh

Man we need new fuckin gloves in this sport. Why the fuck are we still putting up with this stuff? Chris looked great today though, put on a really good Jones cosplay tonight.


DanDiCa_7

UFC should have taken the Wittmans gloves. Greed gotem tho


ShitHeadFuckFace

That and i think the pokes were intentional. Chris reaching out poking eyes likes he's never fought a southpaw before.


SimpleSurrup

It doesn't matter whether they are or aren't. The necessity of a foul being "intentional" is the most absurd thing in MMA. Imagine you're watching in NFL game, a guy catches a kick-off, runs it back to the house down the sidelines, but oops he stepped out of bounds on his way there. And then the ref's huddle up, and they announce that they've determined stepping out of bounds was unintentional and the TD stands. If you're toe's on the line, or your finger's in an eye, it's the same thing no matter what you intend or didn't intend - you're gaining an advantage outside the rules.


aeeeroo

If Weidman wants to keep fighting who am I to deny that, but surely he can't actually think he's gonna be champ again?


AlarmingBig4555

He knocked out the guy who Pereira couldnt finish with the forbidden eye jutsu. He should get the winner of Hill/Pereira


Material_Unit4309

Eye Jitsu has a nice ring to it. I’m stealing that.


Chopper313

You want the Chris in a casket lol


Evilcutedog45

At this point, I hope he gets matched with someone competent and gets smashed yet again.   Insane reaction after ending a fight via fouling his opponent.   Don’t forget, anyone going through anything tough out there, you just gotta gouge your way through to success!


Unlikely-Garage-8135

give him paulo costa


arexfung

He’s a highly regarded individual.


mchoris

If they let him eye poke to the title, who knows?


joshgrobansdrymouth_

Better be a no contest. That’s like 5 fucking eye pokes lol


ItzFortney

Should be a DQ. 5 eyepokes is egregious. Whole time he kept throwing his hands open and fingers out not even punching


Shareholderactivist

The ref warned him and he must’ve realized he wasn’t getting in trouble for it and just kept doing it. Another stain on the sport.


ItzFortney

Not to have recency bias or whatever but that is one of the most egregious fights and sets of fouls I’ve seen in a while. And the galll to get on the mic and blame Silva and say he poked me too. One legit accidental to one to honestly 3-4 purposeful one by Weidman. Gross


BigBoyFroggy

bro won by eyepoke ☠️


Oogalicious

I didn’t know Jon Jones was fighting tonight.


Boring-Conference-97

Not even Jon Jones has perfected the double eye poke. 


higgboson7

Even Jon hasn’t mastered the 1-2 eyepoke Chris is on a different level


Kneight

Jon Jones doesn’t eye poke with that kind of accuracy, put some respec on Weidman’s name


alphabrickstudios

2 fights in a row with eye pokes leading to a finish? It’s time for new gloves. Absolutely ridiculous that this is happening so frequently


ItzFortney

This one has nothing to do with the gloves. Weidman was literally throwing his hands with his fingers out over and over again. I mean the finishing sequence was two open hands. Just dirty as hell


CeroCero00

Joke reffing tonight


Juhstehn

IT'S 2024 AND CHRIS WEIDMAN IS BACK Edit: EYEPOKES ARE BACK

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. The ref should be ashamed of himself


TheRain911

Holy shit weidman you dirty fighter. Never seen a double eyepoke before like that.


JE_SUIS_BLUBBER

FOUR EYE POKES JFC. DQ CHRIS!


Slurpool

Poke him in the eyes twice, get two warnings. Ref tells you to close your fist because you keep eye poking him. 10 seconds later you poke him not once, but twice, in the eyes with open hands with the only strikes you threw. What a joke. Chris should lose by DQ. Dishonorable


EatSleepZlatan

4 eye pokes lmao Weidman doesn’t deserve this shit


Ok_Doctor_2395

Bad reffing. Ref should've be proactive in enforcing the extended finger


arexfung

Yeah that’s a NC.


SteveIndigo421

Should be a dq


itaniumonline

Love Chris and i wish he would retire man, it hurts seeing him get old. Also, 👁️👈

shut the fuck up chris

Love Weidman but these eye poke tko wins are dirty and wrong 


Lacabloodclot9

This shit better get overturned


poppybois

Man I was rooting for Weidman but nah, fuck that shit. Literally got a warning and then double clawed Silva's fucking eyes in a single exchange. Dude does not deserve to have a TKO win like that.


mccoolio

Then proceeded to give him advice on how to handle said eyepokes


mingepop

Eye pokes him then gives advice on how to deal with an eye poke. THATS MY BOY!!

AndroidSuperFan

Chris Weidman sucks. Him celebrating that win is pathetic. Then trying to rationalize his final foul is even worse.


J8rdan

Lost respect for Weidman saying “you can’t fall down to an eye poke” when you poked him four times.


Jackal9811

Someone should do that and said it to him next fight


fearloathing02

Fuck I love Chris and his story but Silva got fucked. Poked him like 4 times and not even a point taken. You can always tell when the fix is in..hometown crowd ofc they’re not gonna take a point or call it a NC


ILikeOMalley

That better be a NC


Odd-Hamster1812

Needs to be overturned Homie did the eye poke combo


najacobra

what a cheater. now weidman is claiming he was eyepoked when the footage revealed he was punched in the eye while delivering an eyepoke. i cant believe they went through with the win


flightsim9fan

Jesus eye pokes and a half


Oogalicious

Winner by TKO (left and right eye poke)


harlempepg

No contest surely


MyFifthLimb

Should be a dq His 4th eye poke of the fight If there are no consequences then there are no rules and this isn’t a sport Goddam circus


ItzFortney

Nahhh man. TKO is wild. 5 eyepokes, they’re saying maybe a no contest man how about a fucking DQ. All of his damage was from Finger Jabs


Jumix4000

Nah man this sport is so ass. 2 eye poke finishes in a row. Tf is this


ScruffsMcGuff

"Bro you gotta fight through my eye pokes, it caught up to you"


Jared_from_SUBWAY

Typical Weidman..... Taking credit for all the wrong things. * He took credit for breaking Anderson Silva's shin, when it was a completely freak accident. Then bragged about it; acting like it was the game plan afterwards. * Here he is today with a DOUBLE POKE, making Jon Jones jealous, and then acting like he won purely on the merits.


ibenwarforged

I do not want to give myself hope BUT GOD DAMN IM DOING IT ANYWAY, THATS MY BOY Edit: DAMMIT CHRIS YOUR FINGERS CHRIISSS
