I watched the fights last night. It was a great card but ouch! I would find it hard to believe at Silva's age that he comes back from an injury like this!

It was a good check , caught spider at exact weak spot on shin and snapped the bone .
The only other bad injury was John Jones when his toe was twisted up .
Now you know what happens when a tornado meets a volcano .
Hope everyone heals and recovers .
A violent sport of gladiators is gonna have some bad collisions .

Shocking break, UFC,s surgeon put a rod in his leg yesterday and said he will take around 6 months to recover. Though his kicking days are most likely over.
Shit of a way to go out.

Those must be some brutal leg kicks he's dishing out. That was a clean break so unless there was an existing fracture, then he has some powerful leg kicks. Anyways, I'm always a little surprised to see veteran fighters with these type of injuries.

yeah, that was gruesome. Funny as hell that Weidman won by kick-check, though :-) That should be it for his career, but you never know. Its a break, not an amputation. So long as there isn't any significant nerve/muscle damage, there's a chance we could see him again.

6 Months is much sooner than i would have thought but then again it would probably take him another 6 months to get back in to fighting shape again after the leg heals

A man who trains hard should have such thick calcified bones, that there should be no way he can break.

Maybe in training he holds back and kicks like a bitch.. If fighting was my life I would hard body train. I don't understand..

I didn't like Silva anyway lol

I don't know that anyone would question silva's training. Bones break, ligaments tear, and the body becomes less buoyant as we age. he may have had a hairline fracture before the fight. Sometimes we hurt ourselves and don't even know we're hurt or to what extent we are hurt.
