There was a similar break to Dennis Alexio's leg in his bout with Stan Longindis in 1992 if anyone is old enough to remember that.
That was nasty as well, but I do not recall if he fought again with any success after that.

I think the physics of the impact are just insane b/c like khem alluded to, Silva's shins would have been conditioned to hell since he was known for leg kicks. Goes to show how much force and velocity he was able to generate with them. Its a bit of a lucky/unlucky shot the way the hit placement worked out. Not to take anything away from Weidman b/c he knew exactly what Silva was going to do and countered it perfectly. But DAMN. Muy Thai fighters condition their shins by kicking heavy bags moving on up to bags filled with sand and rocks, but this hit was like Silva kicking a pole pretty much as hard as could. Fuck me that had to feel excruciating.
I read he was screaming at the top of his lungs after they had carted him off backstage on the gurney. Chilling...but its blood sport after all, that's why we like it
