Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is recovering after a second surgery to repair the damage done from a broken leg he suffered at UFC 261 in March.
The horrific injury occurred in essentially the first exchange of the fight as Weidman threw a kick at his opponent Uriah Hall, which then resulted in his leg snapping in a violent manner. The next day Weidman underwent an extensive surgery to place a rod into his leg to stabilize the bone as he anticipated a lengthy recovery period to return to full health.
