2021 was not the most fortunate year for MMA fans. In just a matter of 3 months, the UFC witnessed two horrific leg breaks of a similar kind. The first injury took place at UFC 261, where Chris Weidman faced Uriah Hall. In the very first round, Weidman suffered a brutal leg break while performing a low kick on his opponent.

Just 3 PPVs later, Conor McGregor suffered the same fate against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. In the closing moments of the very first round of the fight, McGregor landed badly on his left leg and it immediately snapped. While fans are expecting the Irishman to make a return later this year, Weidman is coming back this weekend at UFC 292. Recently, ‘The All-American’ appeared in an interview with ESPN MMA and opened up about his one-way interaction with Conor McGregor following his injury at UFC 264.
