Former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman to Undergo Yet Another Surgery

Chris Weidman took to social media and revealed that he was scheduled to undergo yet another surgery on his leg. The former middleweight champ suffered a potential career-ending injury at UFC 261 when he faced off against Uriah Hall. Hall checked a calf kick by Weidman and ‘The All-American’ snapped his leg in devastating fashion.

The injury was shades of Anderson Silva’s leg break when he fought Chris Weidman in their second fight. Chiefly, this is what made the injury even more bizarre and fans simply couldn’t get over the irony of the situation. However, Weidman was determined to get back on track and began the process of rehabilitation immediately.

Chris Weidman Injury update: When can fans expect him back?

Weidman revealed that his rehabilitation process has reached a roadblock as he’s scheduled for another surgery. It’s clear that this surgery wasn’t on the cards initially and Weidman’s return timeline will certainly undergo a change. Moreover, based on prior posts, he seemed to be on the fast track to return to form.

The MMA community has been keeping up with Weidman’s injury updates as he’s a beloved personality in the sport. He’s given fans several memorable moments and everyone wants to see him back in action. Despite the setbacks he’s suffered in his career, there are several fights in which the fans want to see him in.

Following his injury, Uriah Hall shared a sentiment to run it back with Weidman since their first meeting ended abruptly. Should ‘Prime Time’ lose to Sean Strickland at UFC Vegas 33, he’d be a prime candidate to welcome back ‘The All-American’. Chris Weidman’s last victory came to Omari Akhmedov in August 2020 and he’s 2-3 in his last five fights.

Another match-up that would intrigue fans would be Kevin Holland vs Chris Weidman. Holland had a fiery run in 2020 and put himself on the map in a big way. However, he’s now on a two-fight skid and was outwrestled extensively in his last two fights. However, ‘The Trailblazer’ is a dangerous customer on the feet and he’ll favor his chances against Weidman who isn’t as durable as he once was.
