Gegard Mousasi’s rise up the UFC middleweight rankings continued on Saturday when he earned arguably the biggest victory of his career in the UFC 210 co-main event against former champ Chris Weidman. Unfortunately, the outcome was tainted by poor officiating.
Mousasi (42-6-2 MMA, 9-3 UFC), the former Strikeforce and DREAM titleholder, picked up his fifth consecutive victory when he defeated Weidman (13-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) by second-round TKO following a pair of knees which at first were deemed illegal but upon further review was clean.
At the end of it all, Mousasi was awarded the victory, but it certainly didn’t come in the fashion he would have liked.
