UFC 261 featured a terrible ending to the middleweight match-up between Chris Weidman and Uriah Hall. Seconds into the fight Weidman threw an innocuous looking leg kick that was checked by Hall. This resulted in a total leg break for Weidman. The ghastly injury looked identical to what happened to Anderson Silva when they fought each other eight years ago.
Weidman was stretchered out of the arena in obvious pain and dismay. The former UFC champion has since been inundated with well wishes from Hall, Silva and many others in the fighting world.
Last night Weidman’s wife, Marivi Weidman, shared a picture of her husband smiling with his thumb up after surgery to fix his broken leg.
