‘I cannot believe that was my leg’: Chris Weidman details instant reaction to horrific UFC 261 injury
It’s been 11 days since Chris Weidman suffered one of the most gruesome injuries in MMA history, and the shock of it all still remains for the former UFC middleweight champion.
On April 24 at UFC 261, Weidman’s right leg completely snapped after Uriah Hall checked his kick just seconds into their fight. When Weidman planted his foot afterward, it completely folded (officially a compound fracture), sending him down to the canvas in pain – but also disbelief.
During an interview with ESPN released Wednesday, Weidman spoke in great detail about what he experienced from the moment he landed the kick until he was taken away in an ambulance.
