UFC lightweight Brok Weaver felt like he was turning the tide of his octagon debut when he saw coming the knee that ended his night at UFC Rio Rancho.
”I felt like he was getting tired,” Weaver said on the ESPN post-fight show after Saturday’s event at Santa Ana Star Center. “It’s all part of the game. This ain’t the way I want to win. I won’t go to sleep after tonight. But it’s a payday, not a win.”
Weaver earned a win via disqualification when Rodrigo Vargas landed the illegal strike; Weaver was briefly knocked out, leaving no choice but to immediately halt the fight.
