WTF are Weidman's legs made out of steel or something.

Holy f***ing shit what an ending. That's a shocker. That might have been the end of my favorite fighter ever.

Still, Weidman proved his stuff in that first round.

Do you think reason Silva was acting weird was due to him knowing his leg was fractured going into the fight? Maybe something he got at the last minute while training and kept a secret?

That was shaping up to be a good fight too.

damn this sucks on a number of levels.
A) Silva's career may be done B) Weidman will never get his due in dethroning Silva. Two weird finishes. and business wise for UFC No more Silva and GSP for the forseable future. Is Jones a big enough draw?

From what I can tell, recovering from a broken leg like that takes 6-12 months, and that's presumably without taking high level MMA training into question. I don't see much point in Silva not retiring.

Given the way Weidman was dominating Silva earlier, I don't think this finish hurts him any,freaky as it was.

I picked Weidman for the win in the third round, so that was very bittersweet. I hate seeing a man get injured like that, especially one of the best of all time.

Twitter of course had to make it so pictures automatically show up instead of links so I can't even search "Anderson Silva" at all to see what people are saying since I sure as hell don't want to see any of that again

So, what specifically caused his leg to break? I've just been following it on this thread. Was it a freak instance of his weight being put down wrong or the result of some sort of offense?

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 2m Anderson is yelling at the top of his lungs on the stretcher backstage. I've never heard anything like that. A horrible sound.

He threw a leg kick at Weidman and all of a sudden fell backwards with his leg pointed up in the air and the fight was over

He went for a leg kick that was checked/blocked by Weidman and his leg looked like a wave went through it. A bad fracture.

One half of Silva's leg bent one way, the other half went the other way. Looked like he was made of silly putty from the shin down. Gruesome.
