Chris Weidman suffered an incredibly gruesome injury late Saturday night during UFC 261.
Almost immediately as soon as the UFC 261 fight started against Uriah Hall, Weidman landed a kick and snapped his leg. You can watch the video below, but be warned that it’s painful to watch. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Damn, I’m at a loss for words right now. I can’t believe that happened. I am sitting here stunned right now. This is shocking.
Weidman hit the ground and was in so much pain that it made me physically hurt. I just can’t believe we all witnessed that happen.
Weidman is taken out on a stretcher. Really hard to see.

Hopefully, Weidman is able to eventually recover, but that’s the kind of injury that can take a very long time to come back from. Hell, he might be done for good.
I hope that’s not the case, but you never know.
That’s the most disgusting injury I’ve seen in a long time. Prayers out to Chris Weidman. #UFC261

Prayers out to Weidman and his family. Just a brutal pill to swallow.
