In the hospital currently with 2 broken legs and shattered ankles. I look to Chris as an inspiration for my recovery. Thanks champ
My calf hurts hearing this
The usual 'Karma' comments are everywhere, as expected. Karma, when used in this way (to describe a cosmic justice system that balances the scales of supposed 'right' and 'wrong' doings) is silly. People said the same shit when Anderson broke his leg (that was his 'karma').
So, by that logic, 'God' or 'The Universe' used Weidman as the Karmic delivery vessel to give Anderson his so called 'Karma'. But, that also means that Weidman was put into a position by God/ the universe to earn his own negative Karma at the same time, eventually suffering the same fate as Anderson in that regard.
From a deterministic perspective, it just seems like 'karma' when defined and thought of in this way, is ridiculous and redundant.
great work mr cormier, somehow didnt know or forgot u had a podcast 🍺
Ill never forget chilling with the boys watching that happen… we all shot outta our chairs in horror
Live by the check, die by the check.
It was just weird. How he’d just done this to Anderson. Absolute horror freak accident. Didn’t feel real just watching it. For him what a mind f. 😮
i rolled my ankle with full force and tore all the ligaments. Chris talking about the pain of the blood shifting down to the injury site… worst pain ive ever felt in my life. The first few days when id wake up in the morning id have to keep lowering and raising my foot for 10 minutes to let to blood slowly fill. Its the only time i can recall in adult life actually crying from pain
I don’t feel bad. I remember that Anderson fight……
Karma for how he celebrated when Silva broke his.
Chris moving his leg at 3:50 … he’s reliving it. He looks well considering.
Anthony Smith went down after one calf kick??? Did he instantly go into the fetal position??? 😅
he needs to stop whining. the worst pain is period pain, then child birth.
I liked Chris in Gardians of The Galaxy.
Wow, Chris doesn't look healthy at all.
I snapped my leg playing backyard football and I knew it as soon as it happened!! I was like my legs broke and sure enough it was broken!
It was like Karma paid him a visit for doing that to Anderson Silva 🥴
Chris and Anderson are really good friends now btw lol
Lmfaoooo it had to be Anthony Smith LOL
I had a crushing injury to my foot where I broke all 5 metatarsals and my ankle. That pain when you gotta get up and the blood rushes to it was so bad. Whenever I had to go fo the bathroom I had to mentally prepare. Lol
I had a similar injury, plus a ruptured Achilles. Let me tell you—no amount or type of pain medication really helps. You just end up high as hell and still in pain.
For clarification; Weidman was not a little biatch "his words" i saw this live and it made my guts turn. Im surpirsed he can speak about it so openly.
The coincidence with Silva is insane
Before the fight we were like "cmon Baldwin!"..after the kick we were like "oh $#it Baldwin". Still the pride of Nassau County.
Weidman is a dirty fighter with eye gouging and trying to get people dq'd
His mistake was thinking that because it worked on Anthony Smith. It was a good technique
😂😂😂 Bro . Smh Anthony Smith does the Armadillo she'll move even in training .
He was such a douche after the Silva leg thing
Worst case of serendipity ever
I'm sure the pain is nothing in comparison to what he felt but it gives me an idea when he talks about the blood rushing to his leg. I got a 10 hour tattoo session done on my leg and the day after was one of the top 5 pains I've ever felt. Every time I stood up It felt like lava flowing down into my leg. I can only imagine how much worse it was for him every time he had to do it.
Funny Chris said he hit Anthony with a light calf kick and he was surprised when Anthony went down.
I’m pretty sure when Anthony retired he mentioned having some kind of issue with one of his legs where he couldn’t absorb leg kicks any more because of tissue damage or something like that.
He acted like he beat Anderson Silva in the second fight. That what bothers me the most , till this day . He held his hands up very high and showed no humility and acted like he planned it . Rubs me the wrong way . He should have came on the interview and said I don’t consider it a win
Brutal
This is what you get for ignoring reality and continuing fighting for no reason
DC looks like the goombas from the live action Mario brothers movie from the 90s…. Go look em up on Google and come back and try to tell me I'm wrong! 🤣🤣🤣
