Chris Weidman suffers gruesome leg injury vs. Uriah Hall at UFC 261

Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman suffered a gruesome leg injury just seconds into his fight against Uriah Hall at UFC 261 on Saturday. 

Weidman delivered a leg kick, which Hall checked, and then his leg snapped. He then collapsed in pain before being stretchered off. 

Fair warning, the video is pretty graphic:

Hall won by TKO in front of a packed crowd at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville.

After the match, Hall wished Weidman and his family all the best, saying, "I wanted to put on a great performance, but man, I feel so bad. I hope he's OK. I wish his family well," according to TMZ Sports.
