LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chris Weidman defended his UFC middleweight title when Anderson Silva broke his left leg on a kick in the second round, ending UFC 168 with a horrific injury Saturday night.
Weidman (11-0) quietly celebrated his victory while medical personnel tended to Silva (33-6), whose left shin bent grotesquely while landing a kick on Weidman’s left leg 1:16 into the round.
The Romans are reviled for the gladiator sports. Events where slaves were paid with money, women and even potential elevation to citizenship.
After Constantine, in Christian Rome, this was elevated to state status, the 
games were not just part of the way of appeasing the masses, watching other dies became a major benefit of being a Roman.
How are we doing anything different with our brutal public sports?
