MMA: Chris Weidman Saves Elderly Neighbor

Champion in the cage, hero in the home. UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman came to the aid of his 92-year-old neighbor after she fell through a glass table. Weidman helped stop the bleeding and got the woman to the hospital where she was treated for her injuries.

UFC.com provided an account of the incident, from Weidman himself:

"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."
