Chris Weidman blev inte glad när han fick svaret på sin överklagan till New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) angående sin kontroversiella förlust mot Gegard Mousasi på UFC 210. Han berättar på TheMMAHour att han nyligen fått svaret i ett brev och att överklagan inte fått det svar han hoppats.
I just got it back in the mail yesterday. I did not win the appeal. I don’t think it was anything we didn’t expect. I didn’t even read it. My wife was reading it.
NYSAC berättade för Weidman att repriser kan användas när någon blir skadad i matchen.
I guess when there’s something that happens inside of the Octagon and it has to do with an injury the commission is allowed to look at the replay. I guess, something like that is what it is about.
The rules that were explained to us are that there was no replay. If something happens where there is an injury they are allowed to look at it. That’s pretty much what I heard from my wife.
Den forne UFC-mästaren i medelvikt berättar att hans förhoppningar på att överklagan skulle gå igenom var låga.
Either way, I didn’t put my eggs in that basket. I would’ve been kind of surprised (if they had reversed the decision). For them to admit they were wrong, I would’ve been kind of surprised.
Weidman möter härnäst Kelvin Gastelum på UFC on FOX 25 i New York den 22:a juli.
