Weidman scored the stunning upset with a second round knockout to become just the 6th UFC middleweight champion. Here's Brent Brookhouse on the play-by-play:
Round 2 - Weidman shoots after Silva plays more and he gets stuffed. Silva landing the leg kicks now. Silva drops his hands and plays around and Weidman nails him and Silva goes down and it's over! He just played around too much. Boy was I wrong. Chris Weidman wins by KO (punches), round 1.
