A serious injury to Chris Weidman No. UFC 261, in April, shocked the entire MMA community. The North American broke his leg in a similar injury suffered by Anderson Silva, precisely against the ‘All-American’. However, the recovery of the former middleweight champion up to (83.9 kg.) is impressive. Just 35 days after the compound fracture, the fighter was able to walk again without the aid of crutches (see the video below).
