The former middleweight champion of the UFC Chris Weidman suffered a horrific injury early in the fight against Uriah Hall. The athlete was carried out of the sand on a stretcher.

Only 17 had elapsed, when Weidman threw a kick in Hall’s leg, and it was just at that moment that he broke in two.

After the fight Hall said: “I have nothing but respect for Chris Weidman. He is truly one of the best. It’s a crazy story, that it was the first man I fought that defeated me. ”
