Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman has some sound advice for Conor McGregor. McGregor could certainly learn a thing or two from Weidman when it comes to recovering from a brutal leg break. Weidman was on the receiving end of a gnarly leg snap when he shared the Octagon with Uriah Hall back in April 2021. Just three months later, McGregor ended up fracturing his tibia and fibula against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy bout. While Weidman has had two fights since his injury, including a recent controversial win over Bruno Silva, McGregor hasn’t been seen inside the Octagon since July 2021.
