Chris Weidman is responding after his recent opponent Bruno Silva was given a six-month suspension for violating the UFC anti-doping policy.
Weidman (16-7 MMA) and Silva (23-11 MMA) fought on the main card of a UFC event in Atlantic City. Weidman controversially won the fight by technical decision.
In the final round, Weidman landed a big combination that led to Silva falling to the canvas. It was later revealed that the knockdown was actually due to two separate eye pokes. Despite the controversy, Weidman was declared the winner.
Bruno Silva was recently suspended for six months by the CSAD, UFC’s anti-doping partner. Weidman responded to this news on ‘X’ with a tweet.
“Very interesting… 2nd failure in his career… likely im told that could be from microdosing anabolics as well 🤦♂️! https://t.co/zpeDIZ9oVk
