How Chris Weidman described his horrendous leg break at UFC 261
During an appearance on the UFC Unfiltered podcast several months ago, Chris Weidman opened up about the excruciating pain he experienced after his leg break at UFC 261. He described the pain as beyond anything he could have imagined, a torment he couldn’t bear. Moreover, ‘The All American’ expressed that he pleaded with medical staff to render him unconscious.
“The pain, I can’t even explain the pain. The pain was the worst thing I could ever imagine… I kept begging them to give me pain pills. ‘Give me something quick. Put me to sleep. Get me on painkillers. Knock me out. I cannot deal with this.”
