Chris Weidman hasn’t seen action since UFC 261 in 2021. It was a fateful night for the former middleweight champion where he broke his leg on a checked kick from Uriah Hall.
It was a long, grueling road to recovery for the 38-year-old Weidman, but over the weekend, he returned to competition in a submission grappling tournament at Polaris 23. Weidman was matched against English judoka and wrestler Owen Livesey and lost on the scorecards.
But based on these highlights, at least, Weidman did put on a competitive showing for someone who was making a comeback after nearly two years away.
