UFC Christopher James Weidman Breaks Leg 17 Seconds into a Fight
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Weidman In one of the most gruesome injuries in UFC history, Uriah Hall checked a kick from Chris Weidman that shattered the right leg of the former middleweight champion on Saturday at UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Florida. The 185-pound rematch was instantly called off and ruled a TKO for Hall (17-9) just 17 seconds into the bout inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. But the impact of the injury, which saw Weidman's tibia break through the skin, brought a hush over the crowd and an emotional reaction from a stunned Hall. The sad irony of the situation is that Weidman (15-6) scored a similar victory over Anderson Silva in their 2013 middleweight title rematch that left the former champion sidelined for a full year. In addition, Weidman's injury took place in the fight immediately after light heavyweight Jimmy Crute suffered a TKO loss to Anthony Smith following a different leg injury that forced the cageside doctor to rule Crute couldn't continue. "I got nothing but respect for Chris Weidman," Hall said. "He is truly one of the best. It is a crazy story that he was the first man I fought that defeated me and introduced me to fear. I didn't know what fear was and during that time we went different paths. He was the first one to defeat Anderson [Silva], I was the last. It's just crazy how we ended up here again." |

Re: UFC Christopher James Weidman Breaks Leg 17 Seconds into a Fight
It's crazy how Chris did the same thing to Anderson Silva, then calls Uriah Hall another Anderson Silva in the lead up to the fight then breaks his own leg. I usually don't believe in karma but dam.

The break made me cringe but when he swung his leg back and tried to stand on and it folded over, that turned my stomach

Re: UFC Christopher James Weidman Breaks Leg 17 Seconds into a Fight
I'm sure it's like milliseconds but he didn't appear to wince...or show any pain until he tried to land on the broken leg.....the actual break was before.....obviously.....lol....just sayin' he didn't appear to register the pain immediately...... |
