That famous saying 'The least of evils', at this moment, needs to be read and (quite a lot) celebrated by Chris Weidman. After the duel with Brad Tavares No. UFC 292, the former middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) feared a new serious injury, however, after undergoing further tests last week, the 'All American' breathed a sigh of relief as he had 'just' a fracture in his left leg and revealed that it will take four weeks to recover and be ready to return to training.

“What happened to me is that I had a fracture in my left leg. So, I think he (Brad Tavares) broke my leg with one of those kicks. I ended up finding out when I got back home. But I discovered that my leg was fractured. I had MRIs on the tibia and fibula on both legs, I had MRIs on both knees, X-rays. There was no ligament rupture. So... 'ACL, LCL, MCL, PCL' all those 'Ls' that you don't want to bust because it's six months to a year of recovery. God kept them together. The ligaments are good,” Weidman said on the 'Won't Back Down' podcast.
Former middleweight champion, Weidman spent just over two years away from the Octagon due to a serious ankle injury. Upon his return, UFC 292, the former champion was far from delivering a good performance and was defeated by unanimous decision from the judges.
