Former UFC middleweight champion, Chris Weidman will be making his return this weekend at UFC on ESPN, 52 against Bruno Silva. Weidman suffered another injury against Brad Tavares back in UFC 291. The former middleweight faced one of the most gruesome injuries back in UFC 261 against Uraiah Hall in 2021. Though many people believed that the injury would be the end of Weidman’s career, he would return just two years later.

Weidman did have tons of support from friends and family as he was gathering his strength. However, one individual played a major factor in supporting the former champ while he was recovering, and that was his wife, Marivi Caban.
