MMA News: UFC Releases Official Statement Regarding Anderson Silva

The UFC has released the following official statement regarding Anderson Silva, who suffered a broken left leg following his fight against Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman on Saturday night at UFC 168.

This statement comes courtesy of ProWrestling.net, who obtained it from the UFC:

"Following Saturday evening's UFC 168 main event, former champion Anderson Silva was taken to a local Las Vegas hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken left leg. The successful surgery, performed by Dr. Steven Sanders, the UFC's Orthopedic Surgeon, inserted an intramedullary rod into Anderson's left tibia. The broken fibula was stabilized and does not require a separate surgery. Anderson will remain in the hospital for a short while, but no additional surgery is scheduled at this time. Recovery time for such injuries may vary between three and six months. Anderson is deeply touched by the outpouring of support from his fans and the entire MMA community. There has been no immediate decision about his future, and he would kindly ask for privacy at this time as he deals with his injury and prepares to return home to recover."
