However, despite what was a hugely successful evening that saw titles change hands and prospects become stars, UFC 261 also saw veteran middleweight Chris Weidman suffer a horrific leg break.
During the main card’s second bout, Weidman, who faced off against Uriah Hall, ended up snapping his left leg after throwing his very first kick of the fight.

Following the action-packed event, the UFC has now released never-before-seen footage of how fans, commentators and presenters all reacted to the devastating injury in real-time.
