Silva criticized the UFC's officiating after his loss to Weidman

Bruno Silva commented on his loss to Chris Weidman at UFC On ESPN 54.

"The referee was acting weird - he screwed up and then he screwed up again. The least they could do was declare the fight a no contest. He put his finger in my eye. We think Chris Weidman is going to be hard pressed to get a rematch, so declaring the fight a no contest would be fair. Let's see what the UFC does. I just want it to be fair. I thought the ref stopped the fight because of my eye, but then I saw Weidman celebrating the win. I was mad and I wanted to beat up the ref, so I had to control myself. When I was being medically examined backstage, my second said the result had been changed and I felt relieved because I thought the fight had been ruled a no contest, but it was explained to me that it was now a unanimous decision and I didn't understand it. He poked me in the eye in the second round, then in the third round and won by unanimous decision?".
