Chris Weidman knocks out Anderson Silva
UFC 162
July 6, 2013
A half a year has passed (not to mention another victory over the Spider where he broke his leg) and these words are still unbelievable to type – Chris Weidman knocked out Anderson Silva!! It really truly is unbelievable. And now that his iron chin has been shattered, this, more than the broken leg, will be the biggest issue for Silva if he plans on continuing his combat sports career.
