It’s now been several weeks since Chris Weidman’s controversial TKO loss to Gegard Mousasi<\/a>, which marked his third-straight strike-induced loss in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The controversy of this loss surrounded a strange choice by the referee, who first paused the action on the assumption that Mousasi landed an illegal knee, then called the fight when he realized the knee had been legal. On the latest edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>, Weidman broke down this chaotic sequence, and his choice to appeal the outcome of the fight with the New York State Athletic Commission. His words (h\/t MMAMania.com<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sent in the appeal. It\u2019s really on my managers, my trust is in them. They came up with something to send over, I looked it over, as did my wife. They sent it to New York and I think they might\u2019ve got a reply. As for me and my hopes, to win an appeal in New York, especially it being so fresh, they are going to fight this thing to the death. At the end of the day, it doesn\u2019t make a huge difference to me personally. I know what happened in there was chaos and not right and I was on the losing end of it. It sucks for a lot of reasons, but at the end of the day, I can\u2019t control any of it and it\u2019s over. I\u2019ll just look to the future. Whether they make it a no contest or not, I\u2019m not focused on it. I\u2019ll let my management team deal with that and hopefully the right thing happens. I am not putting much time and effort into thinking about that. At the end of the day, it was a sucky situation that I was a part of and it wasn\u2019t what I wanted to happen and I don\u2019t think Mousasi wanted that to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Weidman then explained his belief that, were it not for this controversial stoppage, he probably would have dominated Mousasi \u2013 perhaps even to a finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I would\u2019ve went on to dominate Mousasi and even finish him. Now, this is all my opinion and you can argue this back-and-forth and we will never know for that event. But, I do want a rematch because I felt I was dominating the fight. Even in the second round when he came forward and I was doing the back-pedalling\u00a0and he was punching. He didn\u2019t land anything and I was very coherent and I wasn\u2019t rocked. The rest of the round, I mounted him and took his back. I know Mousasi wasn\u2019t happy with the result, judging by him pulling down his flag and telling his coaches to stop the celebration. I know his tune changed at the press conference and he was coached into the way he was talking at that point. But his instincts were right and as a fighter you don\u2019t want to win that way. It was a debacle.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
