In an ironic turn of events at UFC 261, Chris Weidman suffered a gruesome injury as his right shin broke due to a checked leg kick by Uriah Hall. Fans, commentators and his opponent looked devastated as Weidman hit the canvas in agony. Chris Weidman was rushed to hospital, where he underwent successful surgery, as reported by his wife. Providing details of the surgery, Chris Weidman said in an Instagram video:
Chris Weidman’s opponent was concerned about him
Weidman’s opponent, Uriah Hall, appeared genuinely concerned about the damage and showed absolute class in the post-fight interview. Paying his regards to Chris Weidman, Hall said:
Chris Weidman’s injury took us to an immediate flashback of Anderson Silva’s left leg going limp after suffering a similar injury against the New York native at UFC 168.
Uriah Hall’s respectful post-fight interview immediately initiated comparisons to Chris Weidman’s approach towards Anderson Silva’s injury. While many accused Weidman of celebrating after the incident, the former UFC middleweight champion claims to have been unaware of the extent of the damage to Silva’s leg.
