In a brutal sport like “UFC,” it’s describable as gruesome to have an injury like Anderson Silva’s recent injury fighting rematch with Chris Weidman (middleweight title bout against Chris Weidman at UFC 168 in Las Vegas) in which Silva cried in pain as he broke his leg, kicking Weidman. 

According to the UFC, Silva was taken to a hospital in Las Vegas for surgery. An intramedullary rod was inserted into his left tibia although the broken fibula did not require separate surgery.
