Chris Weidman promise to come back from his gruesome leg break has taken one big step closer to reality.
Weidman broke his right leg almost one year ago at UFC 261 in April when the first leg kick he threw was checked by his opponent Uriah Hall. The check caused his fibula to snap, and many questioned if the 37-year-old former middleweight champion should consider hanging it up after such a horrible injury.
But Weidman (15-6 MMA, 11-6 UFC) wasn’t about to back down. Although there’s been setbacks in the recover process, two surgeries later and Weidman is already bouncing around on his feet comfortably.
It’s great to see.
