Silva lost 30 percent of his vision due to Weidman's pokes

Brazilian middleweight Bruno Silva is still recovering from injuries sustained in his fight with former champion Chris Weidman at this past weekend's UFC on ESPN 54 event.

"Weidman poked me in both eyes and the examination showed that I lost thirty percent of my vision in one eye. But the doctor doesn't think it's permanent. He believes the vision will recover. For a more accurate prognosis, I need to return to the clinic next week," - quotes the Brazilian MMA Fighting.

Recall that initially in the fight was recorded the victory of the American by technical knockout. Then the decision was changed to a victory by technical decision, despite the fact that the final attack of Weidman began with obvious pokes in both eyes.
