“UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva II” was the UFC’s final event of 2013, and even after a loaded year of fights, it was perhaps the most anticipated of all 33 events over the past 12 months. While the main event between middleweight champion Chris Weidman (11-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Anderson Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC) was among the most hyped rematches in MMA history, it ended in disappointing and shocking fashion when “The Spider” went down with a horrifying leg injury after the champ checked a leg kick. It was the first main event since UFC 90 to end via injury, and the gruesome image of Silva on the floor holding his leg while screaming in agony will be burned into the memories of MMA fans forever.
