Chris Weidman drinks a lot of milk. He must right? Or are his bones made of iron? Because to splinter the great Anderson Silva's leg with a check speaks to me more than a knockout. How many times do you think Anderson Silva has kicked something hard? Like real hard. How many times? It is an infinite amount. His legs are solid from years of using them as lethal weapons. But on this night, Chris Weidman splintered Silva's shin like dry wood, ending his career. If you don't think it is over for Silva, trust me, it is. At 38, it would be too hard to come back from an injury like that. And really there is no need to.
I did not think Chris Weidman was gonna win this fight. I have never really seen anything special about him. That all changed tonight. It's the kind of special that you only see when you are in the octagon with him. No flash. Just technique. Heart. Will power. All that intangible stuff that they talk about. He also might be like fighting a brick wall that can throw kicks, punches, elbows, and knees. Not to mention his all american wrestling credentials. I really don't know if you can hurt this kid either. His mind will not allow his body to be hurt. Unless, Vitor Belfort kicks a hole through his face. Which I can see happening. But now, Chris Wiedman is a super hero made of iron.
