Oh my god

 

The fight where Silva had the same injury was my first UFC ppv

 

The rest of the fighters on the main card are probably terrified for their legs. Jesus Christ

 

I'd say it feels like revenge for Anderson but this just makes me feel sick. feel terrible for him

 

Man, when he tries to step back down after the kick, seeing that in slow motion is fascinating and horrible.

 

Yeah I feel awful for him. Terrible injury. But what are the fucking odds.

 

I woke up at 4AM in Afghanistan to watch Silva snap his leg.

 

good dude right there

 

Can someone explain to a UFC newbie why it’s ironic or what context/background there is to that injury?

 

You're getting your first round KOs are you fucking HAPPY HANK!?! HUH!?!?

 

I feel like Uriah has been scarred during fights more than anyone else.

His nutty KO on TUF seemed like it made him gun shy and scared to hurt someone.

and now he had a front row ticket to someone turning their leg into a noodle.

 

crazy ass night

 

can't wait for that fight

 

Damn that 262 card is dope

 

yo idek Edwards-Diaz was actually still happening

nice

 

Leon/Nate only said 3 rounds :(

 

That specific injury is incredibly rare - only three ever in the UFC. When Weidman fought Anderson Silva ages ago, Silva was considered the GOAT, the Michael Jordan of MMA, and still, Silva snapped his leg trying to kick Weidman.

Now here we are with that happening to Chris. He’s been involved in two of the three instances of this happening.

 

Right, I remember that injury. I guess I just don’t get how they’re linked other than both being gruesome. Is Silva on the card tonight or something?

 

Nate is getting pieced up

 

Fucking wild that the first two fights on this main card have ended by leg injury. What in the fuck.

 

Weidman broke Silva's leg.
Weidman just snapped his own leg.

And its only happened three times ever

 

So what

 

lol

 

Full circle expect not good
