After scoring a controversial victory at UFC Atlantic City, Chris Weidman thinks Bruno Silva needs to quit crying and suck it up.

Weidman’s return to the win column in The Garden State sent fight fans into a frenzy on Saturday night (March 30). Sadly, his first win since 2020 was mired in controversy. Nearing the halfway point of the third round, Weidman appeared to land a check left hook that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. However, a slow-motion instant replay revealed that Weidman poked Silva in the eye not once, but twice while failing to connect with the legal strike.
