I haven't followed UFC since around the time Weidman was the champion tbh. I just lost interest in the marketing machine that it turned into. But, after he defeated Silva, I thought he could be one of the greats. He had the wrestling, the striking, the movement. But there's something about that kind of break you just don't recover from psychologically. Can you imagine looking down at your leg that's been turned into a nunchuck, and thinking why did I choose this career path?

I would imagine that it is really tough for anyone to come back from that sort of injury. It would always be on your mind the tremendous pain and difficult recovery time every time you so much as sparred with anyone. I've been quite fortunate in my life but to this day I still think about the ankle that I broke and will take it easy on that leg anytime I do anything. Just because they are elite athletes doesn't mean they dont feel the same way.
