Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos RIO DE JANEIRO – After stopping Erick Silva at UFC 212, welterweight Yancy Medeiros found himself in that uncomfortable place where he didn’t exactly agree with the handling of his fight, even if it benefitted him. “I honestly feel that the ref could have continued the fight,” Medeiros said backstage after his second-round TKO win on Saturday’s pay-per-view main card at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. “I’ve been on the short end of a fight like that, and I felt I could have continued. That wasn’t my call.” Referee Eduardo Herdy waved off the fight when Medeiros (14-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) landed a left hook that put Silva (19-8 MMA, 7-7 UFC) on his rear-end. Silva appeared to be recovering as Medeiros tried to finish with followup punches, but the action was instead halted
