Chris Weidman just suffered an insanely brutal injury.
Early into his featured bout with Uriah Hall, Weidman threw a leg kick that Hall checked, causing Weidman’s leg to snap entirely — something eerily reminiscent of his own famous bout with Anderson Silva some years ago.
Here are the professional reactions to the deeply unfortunate result:
