Weidman has yet to make his own comments, and details on the long-term impact of his injury remain scarce. We are so grateful and love you all!! It’s been a crazy year so far but us Weidmans are a force and covered in Grace and Mercy everyday! We were reminded this year how precious each day is and I am so thankful to be spending another day on earth next to my love even if it’s in a hospital room far from home. We are blown away by our friends and family offering to hop on flights to come help us without hesitation. All of that overpowers the awfulness of this situation. While this absolutely sucks in the moment and for some weeks to come, we are completely overwhelmed by the love and support we have far and wide and are very aware how blessed we are. My heart breaks for my husband because I know the work and dedication that he puts into his training everyday and the great man that he is, so I only want the best for him. Everything went well thank you Lord! Very thankful for the medical staff, UFC family #allieraimondo, our management team and our family and friends here rallying to help with the kids. It’s been a lonnnggg day but so happy to finally see this man of mine post surgery. Freak things happen in life and plans get crushed.

After deep concentration for an hour, I could pee that out, so I didn’t have to get the catheter.

After circling the octagon, I realized that he was in severe pain by his yelling and immediately went and checked on him and tried to console him. Painful for a short time, but gets better quickly – kind of like a body shot. I just thought I checked his leg kick good, and he went down in pain, which often happens in sparring. “Anyone saying I celebrated when Anderson’s leg snapped is entirely wrong.

Weidman felt the need to explain himself Tuesday after some people unfortunately reveled in his horrific leg break, as though it was karma for the way he handled Silva’s injury. But Weidman said that he initially had no idea Silva suffered such a gruesome injury and went to console him as soon as he realized what actually happened. Weidman (15-6 MMA, 11-6 UFC), who had his right leg snapped after throwing a kick that was checked by Uriah Hall, was on the receiving end of the same injury that Anderson Silva suffered when Weidman checked his leg kick in their December 2013 rematch at UFC 168.Īs soon as Silva went down, then-middleweight champion Weidman threw his hands up in celebration, an action for which he was heavily criticized at the time.
