LAS VEGAS – In an absolutely stunning turn of events, Chris Weidman retained his middleweight title when former champ Anderson Silva suffered a broken leg when Weidman checked a Silva kick. And the questions immediately began about that being the end of a legendary MMA career. In the second round, Silva threw a leg kick. Weidman checked the kick, and Silva immediately fell to the canvas – with his leg badly broken in one of the most gruesome breaks in UFC history. The middleweight title bout was the main event of today’s UFC 168 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and MMAjunkie.
