Chris Weidman responds to critics, denies celebrating after Anderson Silva leg break

Some fans believe Chris Weidman’s leg break at UFC 261 is karma for what he did to Anderson Silva at UFC 168.

Weidman snapped Silva’s leg after checking a low kick in the second round and immediately began celebrating after Herb Dean waved the fight off.

Weidman is currently in hospital after suffering a gruesome leg break of his own against Uriah Hall and, despite suffering one of the most brutal injuries in the history of the sport, trolls on social media feel ‘All-American’ got what he deserved.

The former middleweight champion released a statement on social media earlier today where he cleared up what actually happened after the infamous Silva leg break at UFC 168.
