UFC 162: Chris Weidman upsets Anderson Silva, winning by KO in second round – Yahoo! Sports

In the end, he turned out to be not as good as he thought he was. Silva kept his hands at side and frequently urged Chris Weidman to fight. He gave Weidman several free shots at his chin. In the second, Silva put his hands down, and was moving at the waist, avoiding most of the punches. But he didn’t avoid them all, and it led to one of the most stunning finishes in UFC history. Weidman caught Silva on the chin with a left hook while Silva’s hands were at his waist. He finished the fight quickly on the ground and claimed the middleweight belt, giving the UFC its first new 185-pound champion since Oct. 14, 2006, when Silva stopped Rich Franklin.
