Stephen Thompson and Chris Weidman
Chris Weidman suffered a leg break injury and was out for many months when his leg crumpled below him during a fight with Uriah Hall in the UFC 261. The fight lasted but for a few seconds.
Former welterweight champion Chris Weidman was rumored to be back in the gym to continue his training after suffering a horrifying injury in the middle of the year. His friend and former teammate Stephen Thompson, who is the UFC welterweight division contender confirmed this news in a questionnaire with an interviewer from LowKickMMA.
Thompson also provides some details about the surgery as he said, “The rod they put in his shin was too long, so he had to do another surgery. It’s crazy how fast this guy heals up. You’ll see him back in the cage pretty soon. He’s back in the gym training and he’s been a part of my camp.”
