Silva won't protest overturned win vs. Dober, but doesn't agree with CABMMA

With virtually everyone applauding the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission's (CABMMA) decision to overturn Leandro Silva's submission victory over Drew Dober at UFC Fight Night 62 into a no-contest, there's one man who's decidedly less thrilled.

"It surprises me, but at the same time it doesn't," Silva told MMAFighting.com's Guilherme Cruz. "We know this was not the first mistake a referee has made in the UFC, and it can happen in any sport. If they decided to overturn the result, I won't protest. I don't agree because there were many other mistakes and they never changed the result. I have a clear conscience."

Silva was initially awarded a submission victory over Dober, but it was clear referee Eduardo Herdy had made a mistake in stopping the bout, and Dober was well on his way to escaping Silva's guillotine choke attempt from half-guard.

"My opinion is the same," "Buscape" said. "I locked the guillotine and he tried to defend himself. I watched the fight four times. You can see him holding my wrist and then letting it go. He was soft, and the referee stopped the fight and I said 'tap,' the first word that came to my mind at that time. It wasn't my fault. I made weight and fought, but that happened."
