Steve-O freaks out after Chris Weidman\u2019s brutal leg injury at UFC 261 UFCAmerican MMA fighter Chris Weidman suffered a gruesome leg injury during his UFC 261 bout against Uriah Hall, and reality TV star Steve-O perfectly personified what it was like to watch it all happen. Weidman is a former UFC middleweight champion, but was an underdog according to oddsmakers coming into the April 24 match against Hall, and let\u2019s just say it didn\u2019t take long for those who bet on Hall to get their money\u2019s worth. Steve-O, known for withstanding gruesomeness with the Jackass crew, was watching the fight on the official UFC Watch Along stream with former UFC fighter Jens Pulver and former WWE star CM Punk, and like the rest of us, had a hard time watching to injury occur. Can’t keep a champion down. Wishing @ChrisWeidman a speedy recovery \ud83d\ude4f pic.twitter.com\/QuUdDQFVh2 \u2014 UFC (@ufc) April 25, 2021 Footage of the injury is extremely graphic, so we won\u2019t be showing it here, but to break it down for those who didn\u2019t see it happen, one of Weidman\u2019s opening kicks of the match landed the worst way it could have, and broke his leg between his knee and ankle. The fight was obviously called a KO victory for Hall, but clips and footage of the gruesome injury shocked everyone who saw it happen, including Steve-O. \u201cOh my god I don\u2019t even want to see\u2026 Ohhh!!!!\u201d The Jackass star exclaimed as he saw the footage. \u201cDude, that is too much.\u201d Steve-O\u2019s cringes and cries are a perfect representation of how it felt to watch the injury happening, just in case you want to go look up the clip for yourself. If you\u2019ve ever seen most anything Steve-O\u2019s been involved in, it\u2019s no secret the stuntman has no problem with torturing and injuring himself, but he said he does get squeamish when seeing it happen to others. \u201cI don\u2019t like that dude, the people think I\u2019m crazy,\u201d the star explained. \u201cDude, like, if it was me, I could handle it, but if it\u2019s someone else, I can\u2019t handle it dude, I can\u2019t handle that.\u201d Obviously we hope Weidman has a speedy recovery from this terrible injury that\u2019s every bit as brutal as Steve-O makes it out to be, and then some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
