www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yin1HYh9jbwViewer Discretion needed. Many many "reasons" why this happened, even Bas Rutten has said its due to him kicking wrong What are your thoughts on this? For me its Career End, once fit to concentrate on training NEW champs into the Cage of UFC etc

It just shows how fickle fate - and sport - can be. One minute on top of your game, the next horribly injured and the future uncertain.
So live each day and train each session as if it's your last, as one day it will be.

Ouch! That's got to hurt. Same thing happened to Nicholas Pettas. Occupational hazard I guess.

Seen a lot of motorcyclists with horrible lower leg breaks. They come off then their first reaction is 'check the bike' before 'check my legs'. If they get up and take a step it goes badly. Complex open fractures with bone ends sticking out of clothing and into the mud.
Not good.

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything!

Here is the Bas Rutten video www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFsGDlldNTcLots of speculation on it. We are taught to check with the shin and I never purposefully try to check with the knee but it happens. Those always seem to be the ones that hurt the most for the kicker. Is it viable to knee check repeatedly? I would think not. Considering how much Weidman's checking leg rebounded off the contact from Silva's leg kick, he must have thrown it really hard. |

Man that was rough. I gotta wonder though how strong was that bone in Silva's leg? Had he been pushing too hard too long and had fragmentation there?

You guys ever see those Shaolin monks break poles over each other's backs. The poles break pretty easily; middle of the pole stops at the back and momentum carries the other end beyond the breaking point. That's what Silva's leg break reminded me of. He got checked close to his knee, leaving the entire lower leg to over-travel. Snap.

There was an article that talked about this and the check as a knee spike akin to blocking punches with your elbows. Thought about your FMA experience. |

Very painful. Hopefully he recovers but retires from the sport. I would guess it would take him 18 months before he would be fit enough to fight again.

Blocking punches with elbows can bust up the other guy's knuckles, but snapping a leg so that it looks like a fish stuffed down a sock, that's an entirely different level of nasty.  |

I agree, it must of hurt like mad!! I've a weak constitution, and I just felt uneasy. What about the leg break of Joe Thiesman, of the Washington Redskins when Lawrence Taylor snapped his in an ungodly manner. I still can't watch that one. Hang in there Mr. Silva!!  |

I read also that our own Nicholas Pettas broke his shin in a K-1 fight (good job he could speak fluent Japanese)
