Weidmann did a block as out of a educational book. On the picture You can see he does the block with the upper shinbone - almost with the knee. That particular area is the most insensible part of the leg. If You have learned to use that instinctively a Low-Kick isn´t a well thought option of Your opponent.
There was a similar accident before years. If I remember it right it happened in the heavy weight class. The broken part of the leg laid itself parallel to the unbroken part. The fighter fell down and got unconscious instantly.

A new one for rock-paper-sizzors ... Knee vs Shin ...knee wins!

I had a teammate in Soccer who had that happen on the pitch. We could hear that bone snap from across the field.

Arghhh. Turns my stomach seeing that. Silva was an awesome fighter and this is most likely his last fight. That guy was unstoppable for 5 or 6 years at that weight class.
