Adam D Martin - April 25, 2021
Conor McGregor reacted to Chris Weidman’s gruesome injury at UFC 261, saying that it “had to have been damaged over time without knowing.” Weidman’s leg broke on the very first kick he threw against Uriah Hall in their main card fight at UFC 261. It was a nasty injury, one of the worst we have ever seen in the UFC, and ironically was very similar to when the legend Anderson Silva broke his own leg on Weidman’s eight years ago. This leg break from Weidman was arguably worse as you could see the bone break through the skin. It was a horrible injury and we all wish Weidman the best as he will likely have a long road of recovery ahead of him after getting injured.
