In the second round Silva threw a leg kick Weidman checked it and Silva's leg snapped. Compound fracture.
dude that was so crazy. i still cant believe it. he is done. i wouldnt want to be the ref cause I would have stopped the fight in the first after weidman was hitting some nasty strikes. you had an amazing career spider
I'm glad the spider is done for good. I had been sick of his crap for a while. He had a great career though.
Back in the 70' when arm wrestling was getting air play, I watched 1 where a beefy mother snapped his arm in between the shoulder & elbow. I sat mesmerized as they played a slow motion replay. Never watched it again... This one caught me off guard the same way. Not sure how long it will take for me to watch the UFC & not have a picture-in-a-picture in my head re-playing this one.
There's a video I've seen before that looks almost identical to this one. Dude's leg snaps in the same spot, same way, and he falls over when he tries to stand on it.
Of course there also was Sid Vicious back in WCW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Vicious_(wrestler)#Injury_and_retirement
Ill never forget watching that match, and freaking out when he came down and his leg went. Its fresh in my mind, all these years later
