“Now they’re moving my leg around, they’re trying to hold it into place as they get me on a stretcher and all this crap, and the bones are moving around.
And I know this is gonna suck and here comes (the pain), and as soon as I felt the pain kick in I was just begging people ‘Please!’ “As soon as I broke my leg and I saw it, I go, ‘Holy crap!’ I saw the bones and everything (and) I just remembered Anderson Silva screaming in pain, like someone was murdering him. “You know, I honestly wish shock had kicked in,” he admitted. In situations like these, shock can quickly take over, but Weidman explained that he remained lucid and present throughout the entire ordeal as medics attempted to stabilize his leg before transporting him from the Octagon to an ambulance and on to the emergency room of a local hospital. It was mind-effing, you know? That’s crazy.” “The only time I’ve really seen it was with Anderson Silva, so all of a sudden it’s my leg. “When my leg broke, when I kicked Uriah Hall and I fall back and my leg’s not there anymore – which I didn’t realize because I was like ‘Man, there’s no way Uriah Hall takes any more of those kicks’ – as I go down the first time I spotted my leg with my eyes the first thing I that went through my mind was, ’This is my leg! That’s exactly what Anderson Silva’s leg looked like! This is weird! That’s my leg! This is f***ing crazy!’” he said. But, in conversation with Jim Norton and Matt Serra on UFC Unfiltered, Weidman recounted the experience of that night in Jacksonville as he attempted to explain the pain he endured after his leg break. Since then, “The All-American” has been rehabbing his injury, while branching out into media work as part of UFC broadcasts, and even has his own radio show on Sirius XM. It was a sickening incident that mirrored the injury that Anderson Silva sustained, against Weidman, more than seven years prior at UFC 168. Weidman snapped his leg during his bout with Uriah Hall at UFC 261 in April 2021. Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is one of the biggest characters in the UFC’s 185-pound division, and he’s showing every bit of that character as he looks to rebound from one of the most horrific injuries ever seen inside the Octagon.
