Wow. I just saw the fight right now after reading this thread. That shin break is one of the craziest injuries I've seen in the UFC, although to be fair, I've only seen maybe a dozen fights in my life. Here's the shin break on loop. Enjoy:

Indeed, 3 to 6 months recovery time has been reported.
Quote:
Following Saturday evening’s UFC 168 main event, former champion Anderson Silva was taken to a local Las Vegas hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken left leg. The successful surgery, performed by Dr. Steven Sanders, the UFC’s Orthopedic Surgeon, inserted an intramedullary rod into Anderson’s left tibia.
The broken fibula was stabilized and does not require a separate surgery. Anderson will remain in the hospital for a short while, but no additional surgery is scheduled at this time. Recovery time for such injuries may vary between three and six months.
Now, whether hew will return to UFC is another question.
He has been wanting to fight Roy Jones Jr., and just recently wanted to try out for the taekwondo Olympics team but Dana White has not been allowing that.

I feel bad for the guy. In fight #1 he was goofing around too much but either way if you would have told me that both fights ended the way that they did there's no way I'd believe it. That break was BRUTAL. I think his career is over to be honest with you. By the time he fully recovers from that he'll be 40

Some people think that Weidman purposefully attempted that knowing Silva's use of those kicks. It does look clear his leg broke because of where it connected with Weidman's knee which he raised.
I don't really know much about the sport, and am not convinced this is the case, but does anyone have anything they could add? Is it within the realm of UFC that someone would do this on purpose?

Completely acceptable to block a kick in that manner.

That is true, but the question is whether he purposefully tried to break his leg by doing that. Watching the full scenario, and it looks somewhat deliberate.

Its pretty fucked up if he did intentionally do that, but the odds of that working are slim to none.

I think its still enough of a niche sport that it'll survive. Oddly enough, I think the women's division is hitting a small, previously untapped segment.

Weidman practiced checking kicks A LOT before the silva fight, he knew they would be coming. When you check a kick like that, there is a lot of assumption that if hit just right the other guys leg is gonna break. So really, he did it on purpose but probably had no idea to what extent any injury would come from it.
Crazy ass fight, id probly throw up on his rubbery broken leg

Well even if he did it on purpose he was in the octagon with Anderson Fucking Silva! IMO the best MMA fighter of all time. If your not goin in there to break your going to get broke. Silva was like a force of nature, you don't go into a tornado with a fucking umbrella and expect to come out dry. Let's get real here.

Why wouldn't they? It's not against the rules. Anything that is within the rules goes. He specifically stated in the post-fight interview that he worked on checking leg kicks. He didn't know the guy's leg was going to break but he certainly intended to hurt him.
It's a fight with 30 000 cheering you on. Of course it's "within the realm of UFC" that he would do it on purpose if it's legal.
