I don't remember Woodley landing a kick to the leg that buckled. I only remember him landing one leg kick, total, to the lead leg, not the one that buckled.
There are also a lot of idiots who see Weidman's win's over Anderson as controversial.
In the first one, they don't realize he made his bread and butter using superior head movement to get opponents to over commit outside their range, and using reach advantage to capitalize, and they think Anderson was "clowning" when he really wasn't used to fighting someone with the same reach as him.
In the second, they know nothing about a hard check for leg kicks. Case in point:
Wrong. Weidman broke his leg, with a hard check to leg kicks, that he'd trained repeatedly to take advantage of an anomoly in Anderson's technique. Most trainers have a fighter turn into striking with a leg kick so the stronger "edge" of your shin strikes the opponent, as opposed to the weaker "flat" of the bone. Anderson focused on speed and most commonly struck with the flat of his shin. A hard check--sometimes called a knee spike--is pretty common in Muy Thai. Weidman and Longo trained it repeatedly, specifically for Anderson, calling it "the destruction" or some shit.
Weidman discovered and exploited a minor flaw in Silva's technique and broke Anderson's leg. /story.
