MMA might be the last place on the planet that depends on variables such as superstitions and rituals. The result inside the cage depends on the fighter’s skill set and the hard work they did in the preparation for the fight. However, if one relies on a particular viral photo, former UFC champions like Conor McGregor, Anderson Silva, and Chris Weidman got cursed due to their presence in it. And a similar fate awaits Jon Jones.

Notably, the photo is stacked with the former UFC champions of their respective divisions- Conor McGregor, Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, and Jon Jones. Also, the fans could spot the former UFC bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, behind the four.

How did the fans react to the ‘cursed’ photo?

While Conor McGregor, Chris Weidman, and Anderson Silva met with the same fate, i.e., sustaining a horrible leg injury, on another hand, Jon Jones broke his toe and still won his fight.

One user commented, “I hope not but if Jon jones breaks his legs fighting against Francis, that would be f**kinh insane”

Jon Jones and other UFC fighters’ fate with leg injuries

While the former lightweight champion was fortunate enough to not break his leg, the other three notable fighters didn’t share the same luck.

Notably, ‘The Irishman‘ became the latest victim of the curse when he snapped his leg during a fight at UFC 264. Similarly, ‘Spider‘ had his luck run dry when he checked his leg kick at UFC 168 against Chris Weidman in their highly anticipated rematch.

Weidman himself suffered a horrible leg injury when he faced Uriah Hall at UFC 261. However, ‘Rowdy‘ turned out to be the sole exception, as the Judoka retired without sustaining a leg injury.
