According to Chris Weidman’s wife, the UFC Middleweight Champion saved their 92-year-old neighbors life this week.
Weidman’s wife wrote the following on Instagram about the situation:
“Shout out to this man @chrisweidmanufc who just saved our 92 year old neighbors life. She fell onto a glass table and had pieces stuck in her head. She was in her driveway bleeding out in the rain trying to call her daughter on the phone. Chris ran over and brought her inside, cleaned her up and called 911. #myhero”
UPDATE:
Chris Weidman spoke to UFC.com about the situation, giving more specific details of the ordeal:
“I kept hearing this crazy, weird noise repeatedly,” Weidman said. “I started looking over where I’m hearing the noise from and I didn’t know if I was just hearing things because it was so loud with the rain.”
“There was someone standing in their driveway on their phone in the middle of the rain.”
“She’s completely drenched in blood, it was a nightmare scene. Blood is pouring out of her head.”
“I was trying to get her to calm down, talking about her dog and trying to change the subject; she kept saying she just wanted one more year to live, and I’m like ‘you’re going to be fine, you’re not dying today.’ And while this is happening, she’s pounding blood out of her head. I grabbed a bunch of paper towels and I start holding it on her head. I’m getting bloody, but all the while I’m imagining that it was my grandma. I literally went through a whole outdoor garbage pail full of paper towels.”
