Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman suffered a devastating broken leg from the first kick he threw in his fight against Uriah Hall on the UFC 261 main card on Saturday night.
The action had barely started when Weidman threw the opening salvo with a kick that Hall checked and the break happened immediately as his leg wrapped around the shin in a moment that was difficult to watch. As soon as Weidman attempted to step back down, his leg gave way and he fell to the ground in agonizing pain as the referee stepped into stop the fight.
