According to the Irishman, Weidman placed the leg kick accurately and even hurt his opponent where he wanted to. But years of damage to the leg was what caused it to snap in Weidman’s main card scrap against Uriah Hall. As a result, Hall became the first fighter ever to win a fight without throwing a single strike.
Chris Weidman suffered a completely broken tibia, among other fractures, during the fight and was hospitalized immediately after breaking his leg. He underwent successful surgery and recorded a statement informing fans that he would be able to walk again within two months.
Conor McGregor has his own issues with leg kicks to deal with
While leg kicks were the reason for Weidman snapping his legs, they were used perfectly by Dustin Poirier in his TKO win over Conor McGregor earlier this year. The Notorious One will be aware of the lethal damage those kicks can cause during a fight.
Conor McGregor has recently released several videos in which he is practicing kicks of his own. He was also seen practicing the right technique for checking leg kicks, which he failed to do in his last fight. Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are set to lock horns in a trilogy fight at UFC 264 on July 10.
