What's this? Oh my god, no way, no way, no way. I wasn't looking. He's done. One night. You don't know what happened, Chris Heideman just got his leg broken in the fight. That was crazy. I ain't going down there for him, bro. No. Oh my god. Alright, we got Chris Weidman fighting, Long Island native baby. Did his leg just snap? Dude, I heard that. I cannot believe that just happened. Check this out. Uriah Hall versus Weidman. Oh my god, the same way Anderson Silva broke his leg on Weidman, Weidman just broke his leg on Uriah Hall. I'm way too messed up for this, dog. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Chris Weidman has his left leg. Oh my god, the first kick he threw did you see? I did. Can you believe that? That happened against Anderson and this happens to him now? And the way he threw it, you hear that crack. The jab became a big weapon because what just happened? Chris just, Weidman's ankle just completely went out. God damn it, you just got so good. Oh no, how do you do it? It literally looked exactly like the same as Anderson. I think I thought it was the angle. I mean, the whole thing was messed up. Did some of my training camp with Weidman. I mean, I said this during the week, Chris, I can't, but I don't know how Chris Weidman's ever lost a fight after training with him. It's the best guy I've ever trained with and just can't catch a break. Sucks. Sorry, is this a reminder of the seriousness of what you guys all go out there and do when you put it on the line? Yeah, yeah, the thing that sucks is I mean, on top of injuries and you know, Chris isn't the youngest guy in the world, so depending on how bad it is, who knows what happens. But he really put the work in this time, so just imagine being Chris Weidman. You spend weeks and weeks and weeks training for this. You leave your family, you just, all the sacrifice, the pain, the sleepless nights and the early mornings to go in and like your body just not hold up. Like I haven't seen it yet and I'm not sure I want to, but by the reaction of the crowd, it's pretty disgusting. So for just a bone to break and then you don't get a shot, you know, like that sucks, man. Like just think about this, it's going to suck and he's going to probably have to have surgery, right? But he's going to feel that the rest of his life, like just for the, hear those cheers. That's crazy to me. I don't know why the heck we do this sometimes, to be honest with you. It's crazy. Honestly, there's not much to say. It just sucks on both of our parts. The preparation leading up to this, the only thing I can do is just wish him well. You know, I have respect for him. I know we're both from the same state and I felt like the media was trying to build something up, but I think we both really had respect for each other because we played a part in molding each other to bring us to where we are right now. And you know, like I said out there, I wish in recovery and you know, I own a fight and it's nothing bad, it's just the respect. So I hope he's okay right now. It's very unfortunate and just wish him and his family well. In the past, I've actually broken a teammate's leg by checking it. I'm very articulate with blocking and you don't have to pick your leg up too high. It's just driving it in at the right spot and I heard a click. I thought it was a slap but I didn't feel the slap on my calf. So I was like, that's got to be his bone. And when he landed, it clicked in. To be honest, it was just like the Anderson Silva when he landed. It was weird. It was so weird. I just pictured Anderson Silva and he broke his leg. I just, you know, wish him well. It happened. That's all I could say. It's hard to answer that. It's a part of the game. It's a part of the game that sometimes you don't expect. I didn't expect that. You know, I'm preparing for a war. He knew that. He was the first guy to scar me and I was coming after him. And whatever his mindset was for him to get back to the title reign, you know, I was standing in his way. It was war and it was very unfortunate. So yeah, it's a part of combat. It's a part of defense. It's the same thing when Anderson was throwing that kick, checked it. It is a part. But as much as it looks on paper, it doesn't really count. You know, the real ones know it's like, okay. But again, it's a part of the sport. It comes with it. So there's not much I can do. Chris Weidman, you have any medical updates on it? He's stable right now and he'll have surgery in the morning. It's a weird win. Like you said, it's a weird win for him. But listen, a win is a win. So you didn't really get to see what Uriah's got tonight. You know, maybe we can turn him around quick and get him another fight. Yeah, let's not. I don't even want to talk about it tonight. I don't want to say anything. You know, guys laying in the hospital right now. So let's see how he gets through this injury and we'll go from there. What in the heck, bro? Plot twist, love twist. That was a heavy legging. That is like, what was the clockwork of all things that happened come full circle? Oh, yes. Girl, no faint, no nothing. Uriah had time to plant his leg down. Let's not look at it again, Joe Rogan. But it's happened for, it's happened to Weidman though. It's like people that is like, break. That was a plot twist of the night. That's just for Weidman to do that to Silva and then it happened back to Weidman. I don't want to say karma because I don't feel like he did anything wrong by doing that, but it's just weird. Credit to Hall for the good defense. Yeah, that was nasty, man. Very nasty. Yeah, but he's going to get a replay of it. He stepped in and he checked it and that's the one thing is right underneath the kneecap, right underneath the kneecap. And look at Uriah stepped into it and did exactly what you're supposed to do when you check it. But then when you go to step down, that's the part. That's the part. Don't step down is the hardest thing to watch. It's the hardest thing to watch. So Steve-O, what's going through your mind right now? I don't like that dude. People think I'm crazy, dude. And if it was me, I get to handle it. But if it's like someone else, I can't handle it, dude. All right, here we go. Whoa. Why am I... Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. What the heck? Weidman got silvered. Weidman got silvered. His leg is bending forward. Oh my God. He's got silver. His femur is snapped in half. Oh my God. Chris Weidman just got Anderson Silva. Pause the donations for a sec, please. Oh my God. His leg. How ironic is this, guys? His leg is like snapped forward. Oh my God. I can't even believe I'm seeing this right now. Chris Weidman did the same thing to Anderson Silva. Anderson Silva's leg snapped in half. It was all flippity-floppity. And we are seeing now, unfortunately, the camera. Come on. Uriah is so disturbed. Uriah Hall is on his knees and he's praying and he's hoping that Chris Weidman is okay. And that's incredible respect. I don't understand why people don't like Uriah Hall. I don't get it. The guy, maybe he comes across weird on the mic, but he is being super respectful. He is kneeling and praying. Did you see his face when he saw the leg? I mean, he was extremely disturbed. That's still my boy. Next, he cannot continue. Brewster, his leg's okay. Next emoji, broken Chris Weidman. What do you think? I hope he's okay, man. We're joking around over early stoppage. Get the heck out of here. Herb Dean, see, he did it again, Jesse. Herb Dean, like Chris Weidman's leg snapped in half. I got to see this. Show the replay. I don't know if they will. That was pretty brutal. Right when Danny donated over there something. Here we go. Let's watch this again. Oh my God, it's the same thing. It's like he kicked a steel pole and his leg rubber band forward around, like wrapped around the freaking pole. It's the same thing. Uriah Hall checked the kick. Weidman's shin snapped in half. It's the exact same thing that happened with Anderson Silva. Oh my God, guys, if you're not watching the fights right now, put the stats. Can you throw stats in the thing? What's that? I want you to show this real quick. What is there to show? I just want to show you what happened. Chris Weidman, one strike, one out. That leg kick that Chris Weidman threw, the shin went into a checked leg of Uriah Hall and Uriah Hall snapped Weidman's leg backwards, just like Anderson Silva. Could you karma people putting karma in the chat? Oh, this poor guy. Weidman's getting taken off in a stretcher. This is legit. He's not fighting for... This is it. This is it. This is a really tough sight to see here. But if you just jump again, Chris Weidman's leg snapped in half. He threw the kick and it bent backwards. Uriah Hall, no strikes landed and got the dub. That's insane. That is insane. And you can tell Uriah Hall did not want to win like that, but a win is a win, man. And yeah, I mean, a lot of people yell retire over and over again, but when you see it like this, you have to bounce back from... You're 36 years old. You have to bounce back from an injury like this. We've seen Anderson do it, but it didn't really work out well for Anderson, right? What a crazy situation. Now Joe Rogan's getting up to interview Uriah and Uriah is not happy about this win. I mean, would you be? Yeah, I would probably be like, yes, all right, I could put the donations off for a sec. That's just nuts, man. Like, I can't get it out of my head. Wonderful, wonderful. I just woke up my mom by yelling the loudest of my life. I can't, I can't believe. Oh, this poor, oh my God. Like they're showing him being carted out right now. He's screaming. Oh my God. This is like something out of a movie. This is like something that's out of a movie. OMG, OMG, OMG. This is the legit same situation. Seeing Chris with the same leg as Anderson. OMG, I'm sorry for the bad audio there, but thank you, the Joker. It's exactly the same. If someone were to tell me that the exact same thing was going to happen to Chris Weidman, I wouldn't have believed him. Wolfenstein, you reap what you sow. What the, this is something that I never, if someone told me after Chris Weidman did that to Anderson, that the exact same thing was going to happen to him, he can't even celebrate the win. All right, can you put the volume? I want to hear what Uriah has to say. This is nuts, man. It's still my boy, right? Oh, super chat, carmage. We'll give you the carmage. We'll give you the carmage in a second. Oh my God, Uriah can't talk. One, nothing but respect for Weidman. Joker, I was so crazed, I forgot to sign off. WTF, my dono, shake my head. Thank you. He's the first man I thought, need to feed and defeated him. He's telling the story, basically the lead up. Wonderful, mortal combat fatality, history in the making. Zero attacks and got the W. That is still my leg. Oh man, this is like, you guys are going to remember this moment. I'll tell you that much. Wow, I can't believe this. He goes, I own this fight, so he would love to fight Weidman one more time. I mean, they're one and one now. This is nuts. This is nuts. If you're just jumping in, they give me like chills. That was crazy. Well, you didn't see the other one live, right? No, I saw the other one, but it was not live. Yes, trust me, seeing that live and now seeing it again, it does not get any easier. It's like, it like his, so his leg was like a rubber band and just wrapped around Uriah's leg when he kicked him. It was, you can't make it up. Like it just, that was so freaking bizarre. Guys, the people I talk down about Uriah, I don't get it. I honestly don't get it. Uriah is a class act. You know, maybe he's a little cringy on the mic with the media and he's a little moody or whatever, say what you will. Regardless, he's always been a class act after a competition. This wasn't even a competition. Chris Widens threw, stood there, one kick, one kick. His shin hits Uriah's leg and snaps in half, just like Anderson Silva. The memes that are going to come out on the internet, I mean, I couldn't only imagine. I mean, it's legit identical. Wow. And that was carnage. Let's go carnage. But then when they started making like Mortal Kombat number 41 and 57 and all that, no. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Chris Weidman kicked, leg kicked, and it broke like Anderson Silva's. The exact same thing. The same thing. Oh my gosh. I understand. What did that black magic? Oh my gosh. Oh, that was ugly. Oh my gosh. Howard Ramberg. They're not even showing Weidman on camera. They've been on, I can't even remember his name right now. I'm too shocked. They've been on Uriah Hall for several moments now. And he's he's on his knees. He looks like he doesn't want to celebrate. He feels bad for Weidman. Rex said, oh, thank you again, Rex. Look at it. They're going to show the replay. It didn't even look like Uriah checked it. Like he didn't even have to move it. It just landed like the way Chris wanted it to. It just landed and it did the same thing that it did to Silva. The exact same thing. Howard Ramberg says, yo, delay. Oh my gosh, man. Man, that comeback, that comeback's over. It's not going to happen for a while, man. It's over. They won't even show Weidman on camera. Look at it. Miss Nick, Jesse strikes again. I didn't want this to happen to Weidman. I didn't hope this, but remember I was saying early some crazy stuff was going to happen. Do you remember? Were you here since the beginning? The beginning of the stream, I said I had a feeling something crazy was going to happen and fights were going to end in like DQ kind of ways, like unexpected ways. Remember I said that? Look at it. Chris Weidman's dad just came out right now. He said that he's still his boy. He said he's still his boy. That's a father right there. Shout out to Chris Weidman's dad. That's real love right there. Oh my gosh. I remember I said something. Look at it. They're saying, we remember. We remember, Mr. Jesse. I said it was going to happen. I knew. I don't know. I can't tell you what's going on below the beanie. I don't know. I just had a, it was like a, I knew something was going to go down like that. And it already happened in two fights. I said it right when I started streaming and it happened right here. It happened right here in this fight. And then it happened. Who did it just happen to before that? What was the last one? I can't even remember. The Mike Penguin podcast, Mystic Jess. He predicts these things. Who was the other one? It just happened to that sad addict. The grandmaster curse is more powerful than the Chelsea's drinking male kids. Who was it? Was someone else before that? Something else weird happened. The Smith fight. His leg. See what's going on? I don't know. Like I didn't want this to happen, but I just, I had to tell you. I had to tell you what I had going on down here and it's happening. Oh my gosh. Slugfest wizard says, did Silva curse Weidman? So what's like if you guys want to know, you got to go to my Twitch. Oh my gosh. So Uriah won the fight just by his stance. I tell you that muscle memory, that kata, you know, just that one stance, that neutral, that left neutral, just that stance. He won the fight. He's emotional. He's clearing his throat. You already know when someone clears the throat before they start talking, you better listen. He says, I got nothing but respect for Weidman. He's truly one of the best. It's a crazy story that he was the first man I thought that defeated me that introduced me to fear. I didn't know what fear was. What did he say? I was scared of wrestling during that time. We went on different paths. He was the first one that defeated Anderson. I was the last. He says, it's crazy how we ended up here again. I wanted to put on a greater performance, but I feel so bad for him. I hope he's okay. I wish his, he said, shout out to his family. Unity, when already things are so difficult. So shout out to his family. If you guys don't know what I'm referring to, then it's not funny at all. But if you do, then we're like, you know, inside joke. He says, if he gets well and he could come back, I owe him this fight. Oh, snap. Oh, man. Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. That's crazy. Yeah, it looked like it was about to wrap around. Imagine Weidman's leg snapped and it wrapped around Uriah Hall's and he tripped him with it. Like if that was part of his game plan to wrap around and then drop that foot on his back. Oh, man. It didn't play out like that though. Ah, DC didn't even want to look at it. It was so graphic. Someone FYH says the most ironic thing I've ever seen

Chris Weidman suffered a severe leg break during a fight, which was a shocking and painful moment. This type of injury is rare, having only been seen a few times in the octagon. Weidman has since fully recovered.
