Color commentator Joe Rogan pointed out that the second knee strike may have been legal because Weidman’s hands were up just before Mousasi landed a knee. Referee Dan Miragliotta recognized it as a legal knee, but there is no replay in New York and Weidman shouldn’t be given five minutes. Despite that, the doctors were inside the Octagon.

Ultimately, the fight was stopped and Mousasi was declared the winner by technical knockout.
