Weidmans team figured out a counter and he executed it perfectly, KO'ing Silva, dethroning him, and taking his title. No more luck involved than say, Silva fainting push kicks to Belforts midsection then when Belfort dropped his hands, Silva went high and KO'ed him. It was something Silva trained for and executed. Now onto last night, same deal. Silva tore up Weidman in July with brutal leg kicks so Weidman worked on that hole in his game, used perfect technique, and caught the shin with his knee. It was a picture perfect check and cause a serious injury, ending the fight. Again, a trained MMA technique was used, cause damage, and ended the fight. Silva didn't break his own leg, Weidman broke it. I'm sure all those Silva fans were saying the exact same thing after the Patrick Cote fight. (look it up) No, they count that as a win for Silva just and they should count last night as a win for Weidman. The only difference is, Cote's was a "freak injury" where, kick boxers break their shins all the time.

That is fucking stupid, and I hated it when Rogan mentioned it too.

Also hate that injuries like that get called a TKO rather than a no contest. How is throwing offence resulting in a freak injury "getting knocked out".
