These words, uttered through the announcers calling Saturday night highly anticipated Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight title fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman, captured as soon as perfectly. Oh. My. God. In the second round, Silva kicked Weidman in reference to his left leg. Weidman raised his or her own left leg to dam Silva. When the limbs collided, the low part of Silva's leg snapped being a stick. That ended the struggle, revolted everyone watching it live and ruined Sunday morning for people who caught the clip. Silva went into surgery; the career on the UFC historical greatest fighter is currently in jeopardy. Over the past many years, the UFC has largely shed its image as "human cockfighting," the label Senator John McCain once gave training for mma. sports hierarchy. It has largely replaced boxing because sport that almost all satisfies our bloodlust.

So this horrific injury is really a disaster for your sport. It happened on one from the most important nights in UFC history. This was Silva Weidman, the sequel, which UFC president Dana White called "the biggest fight we've ever done." Five months ago, Weidman shocked the UFC world by knocking out Silva, who had never lost a UFC bout and was champion for seven years. Fight fans were thirsting to get a rematch, along with their wish (one reason to prefer no holds barred combat over boxing: the key fights actually happen. Imagine that, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao).

Plus, the sport's most ascendant star, Ronda Rousey, had also been on the UFC 168 card. She beat rival Miesha Tate earlier at night. Rousey surely drew curious eyeballs eyeballs that wished we were holding closed for Silva Weidman. Picture Joe Theismann breaking his leg from the New York Giants in 1985, but over the Super Bowl, not really a regular season Monday night game. Silva's injury won't indict MMA. The sport won't lose its licenses; its popularity won't suddenly wane. Weidman would not snap Silva's leg on his very own; it felt as being a freak accident. But this incident wasn't as freaky as, say, Kevin Ware's. The Louisville guard simply landed on his foot after contesting a rise shot. Next thing you realize, a bone was protruding from his skin. That was never designed to happen.
