Chris Weidman: The Return | E60 

Still my boy

Pulling for you Chris, because you earned a fan. This guy actually responded to my comments in his vids, after complications of one of his surgeries, he was still nice enough to chat with a stranger.

He’s a genuinely a good dude. I talked to him during international fight week. He took the time to have a real conversation. Chuck Liddell too.

I’m glad he’s getting his flowers. You had a great run pre and during his title reign You can legit tell he’s a good dude, a stand up guy

*It was a sight that left everyone in awe. There he was, lying on the ground with a broken leg, but still managing to give a thumbs up on the way out.* 👍

Met Chris walking to my hotel after UFC 287. He was with Merab, literally the nicest guy you would meet. Hope he gets a dub and retires

The resilience is incredible with this man! I’d be tapping out! Props to you Chris

10 years ago, I lost my best friend to, sadly, a heart attack at the young age of 35. One of his brothers got in contact with Chris from a mutual friend that trained at the gym in Long Island. Chris was so kind to sign a bunch of items to help raise money with a raffle party they did to help his wife and two daughters in a time of need. He did not know anything of the family and still took the time to do it. Money was raised because of him. A total class act person and I am forever grateful of his kind-hearted generosity. Long Island strong, and this man is exactly that

This man's fate is like something out a movie. Goes from snapping Silva's leg to being on the receiving end of things.

He returned and Brad kicked tf outta his legs

I really don’t want to see him or Tony push it too far and end up with problems later in life…

This honesty was so shocking when it happened live. Absolutely nuts

Just retire dude you where a great Champ and shocked the world at one point put time has passed move on .

Aging UFC fighters are like aging women who used to be attractive. They both can’t just admit that it’s over.

Again ?! How many times is this man gonna "RETURN " ???

Never tell fighters to "Break a leg."

How many 'Returns' for the legend Chris Weidman middleweight are a different breed now from the Vitor, silva & rockhold he dominated.. would love to see him pull it off again but the dreams are big for him

I’ve met him and he’s just a humble and nice dude. I’m glad his recovered and I hope it doesn’t happened to him again.

That guy is a legend, Champion,inspiration or anything else you want to call him. Will respect him forever. All the best to you and your family Chris!! Hope to shake your hand one day

He's the first UFC fighter who talked to me. He's cool and friendly guy

i never cryied as a grown man but the absolute tears of joy watching chris weidmann break his leg against uriah hall ..it couldnt of been more perfect...was like the perfect ending to a fantastic book or hollywood movie act 1 superhuman Anderson silva and his reign act 2 anderson silva fucks around and gets knocked out by chris act 3 the rematch (superhuman anderson finally look human) anderson silva breaks his leg on chris and chriss celebrates and laughs in his face act 4 Uriah hall gives anderson silva his idol andersons last fight in the ufc Final Act Chris breaks his leg with the first strike anderson silva wishes him well and gives him advice Retribution

What a legend, against the odds and not quitting

IWeidman is a beast of a fighter I thought going into that fight he would be the guy to take out Adesanya. It shows amazing fortitude that he was able to come back after that. So strange that he was the fight that the same thing happened to Silva in

Chris Weidman is a legend✊✊👍👍✊He's the people's champion🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆what a tough resilience man✊✊👍👍✊A true hearted and brave warrior✊✊👍✊💥😃😃 Always goes through the fire and the challenges that he faces😃👍✊✊👍👍He's definitely a UFC Hall of famer👍👍👍✊👍👍

Chris, your time has ended. U beat silva and became the champ, that’s the peak of ur career. Don’t be like tony, just go live life , unless u need money.

Just retired. We don’t want you to get hurt again. Great career

Chris Weidman made history back on July 6 of 2013 when he became the 1st man ever in the UFC to defeat Anderson Silva. It was hard to watch this horrific leg injury.

Top fighter.. In ring and out.. True respect for chris

Lets hope he comes back after the 5 outta 7of his last fights being losses - hes’ all motivated and with no hesitation he’s gonna do it!! 😮

Weird how this ended, felt sudden. Anyways love this guys persistence just want to see him be real about himself and career, hes had a great one.

I love chris but it be a short return sadly

This is one of the bad "couldn't have happened to a better guy" stories. He's still MY boy!

The mental toughness of this guy..

Much respect for fighters coming back after injury. At 185, Chris Weidman's got a tall mountain to climb.

THATS STILL MY BOY, chris will NEVER BACK DOWN

Such mental strength Weidman is a legend

Chris was a great fighter but it’s past his time he can’t let it go tho

Bruh what return

I personally have no desire to see this gentleman fight anymore. Retirement always comes, what’s the point of having one more fight. “You’ve got to know when to hold them and when to fold them”.

No one handled a broken leg better than Conor McGregor!

Legend

The return , the KO , and the retire

Nah it's time for that same talk Tony needs. Enough is enough.

With great Chris comes great Weidman

Champ forever man

Ain’t been the same since that leg injury

Retire while you are still intact my friend😊

Chris you are hero..

Another Upset, Just Like The First Title Win. Silence Them All. 👊props🤜🤛. Gladiator!!

Respect from India,NE state Zogam

Amazing fighter and person. Best of luck to him

AND THATS STILL MY BOY !!!!!!!

I hope he never fights again…People talk about him getting knocked out at this stage of his career like he is a joke, but I actually remember watching him in his prime, what an animal he was, didnt care about all the steroids his opponents took, he just beat them up anyway, Legend 🎉

When Chris Weidman: the Retirement

Not sure I understand the UFCs humongous push to bring more eyeballs to his return. He’s an aging fighter who has looked really lackluster in his last 5-10 fights I would argue. Never in the history of humanity gotten better with MORE age

These old legends are making clowns out of themselves… just retire when it’s time 😩😩😩

Dude needs to retire a long time ago.His last win was probably in 2017. The same goes for Tony. Hate to see the never ending decline of these champion fighters who are way past their prime.

Lets go Chris love from my post op bed

What goes around comes around

Just wanna say Chris, I’m not pulling your leg when I say , good luck , we’re all counting on you!

Weidman has 1 win in the last 5 years and 2wins in the last 8 years, no way hes gonna fight again, surely?

I think returning after such a bad injury is a bad idea. I just don’t see how that leg can be as strong as it was before. Too much of a risk IMO. Hope the best for him though.

Crazy that he broke Anderson's leg the same way.

Time to retire!

Celebrated the win after it happened to Silva.

How did spider Silva manage to come back so quick with the same injury?

Still think it’s crazy that it happened to Weidman after blocking Silvas kick. Also/ why is this video so choppy!?

Stay strong! My stomach is back to how I felt for you that night.

That whole main card was insane.

LEGEND

That’s why Justin poirier and Dustin gaethje have the most aesthetic physiques

You are one tough MF Chris. ❤ God bless you. ❤

Bro stick with announcing we don't wanna see you with one leg

Didn't he already return?

He never was the same after that renato larange interview

Youve had your day Chris. Reached Everest's mount. Accept father time and move on.

Hes literally the first person I can think of in the UFC who should never fight again

Enjoyed this very impressive

Pack it in lad

A real 💯 tough guy Weidman but its madness that he wasn't allowed to take certain things that would have helped him in his recovery.The USADA tests stopped him from getting the best help possible and could have cost him leg.I am glad he is ok.

people should understand how serious the consequences of this sport are. to do it as a profession even just a hobby you are lucky if you make it 10 years even five years without a permanent chronic injury that requires surgery or simply becomes something you have to live with. chris is still fighting for money period. the man has a family. its a lot of money for one night. even if he didn't train as much as he should it still beats anything else. former champs stick around to long because they pay is good and they put their entire lifes energy and physical health to get there. chris is still top notch. he could still beat the champ but he has soooo much working against him now at this point. This sport is incredibly unforgiving. you could argue chris's end came due to a late stoppage vs rockhold before the leg injury even happened or maybe even before then due to the toll of extreme weight cutting on the body. This sport is unforgiving. I have only seen people partially come back from things like this and it was aided and maintained by PED use otherwise i'm not seeing people recover back to old form from these positions. anderson silva continued to fight and lose and all under the front that he was doing it because he is infinitely passionate about martial arts and challenging himself . I dont buy that. anderson at the top of his run set up an extremely expensive hard to maintain life style for him and his family. If he did not take the fights at the end of his career if he did not fight jake paul as well i think this man would surprisingly be struggling to have solid income and would have had to down grade everything for his family. . so maybe some of it is the passion to compete and be there on the big stage but i think when it really comes down to it its all about milking as much money out of it as you can until the end finally comes.

Here we go again........ Again!

I respect him. But when he gets older, his quality of life will suffer more if he continues like this. Some things are more important, especially when you have a family.

No offense but I feel like he's had afew returns, even that move up to 205 before Reyes koed him, I'm not sure how well it's going to go for him, I feel like the sport has moved on in terms of his style, alot of dangerous young guys that would be hard fights

How many returns is this guy going to have with excuses about injuries or terrible performances.

He’s as bad as Tony just doesn’t know when to retire

Is this the whole documentary?

This is awesome

What a SAVAGE ❤

Why is the video so choppy?

Lets go chris!!

Can we not?

Respect

I don’t think his E60 will let him retire

Chris has definitely aged since the injury 😢

Just retire bro, you have nothing to prove, you can open a new chapter in your life, maybe train some guys or open a gym, use your brand to build a business to set yourself up for life.

How beautifully they replaced the fragment at the right place..thats a very good orthopedecians

Would rather Chris pick up a win and just sail into the sunset his career is already said and done and is just purely fighting for his name and legacy.

What's up with the 5 frames per minute??

Tough as nails, A good dude. Probably his last fight though. He's set with other stuff outside the cage though, he will still be around.
