Wow, it's over, Weidman broke Silva's leg

Edit: Silva's leg hit Weidman's knee and broke his leg, possibly ending Silva's career.

Shows you that age has finally caught up too a great fighter.
age had nothing to do with that injury, it will be a huge factor i his recovery time though Silva is done

how? because he kicked a knee? Or he fought somebody who was better tonight? I dont see anybody other than Weidman beating silva. The guy Weidman will fight nxt Silva knocked out in Belfort. Straight kick to the face

That was awful you could hear his leg snap. Considering Andersons' age and an injury like that I bet he's done. Reminds me of The Joe Theisman injury.Just awful.

Weidman isn't getting much credit for this win either, but anyone who knows mma will tell you that he checked that Silva kick perfectly. Weidman is a beast and I hope he can destroy a roided up Belfort next.

Weidman almost knocked him out in the first round a few times

Weidman dominated the first round while nearly knocking out Silva and his leg kick block which he said he practiced before the fight caused broken leg so Weidman should get the respect that he deserved.

Yep. The knee check is a defensive karate move also. It's intended to hurt your opponent's foot when he attempts to kick you around the thigh area.

LMAO. People wear shin guards in the gym when going full bore practicing leg kicks.
