Actress/model Olivia Munn had one of the best seats in the house and captured an incredibly candid pic of Silva being carted off.

Silva's injury definitely hit home in the sports world, too. Tim Tebow issued prayers for the former UFC middleweight champion and congratulated Weidman.

Former Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller took it arguably the worst, tweeting "OMG" multiple times and also sending out prayers for Silva. Michael Strahan also weighed in.
TV personality and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain saw — and heard -— the whole horrible scene in person.
That was an awful thing to see. And worse to hear . #Silva

Ronda Rousey's women's bantamweight title defense against Miesha Tate also got some love from the celebrity set. Comedian David Spade has a lot of respect for Tate's resilience.

MLB stud Bryce Harper might have a little bit of a crush.

Rousey's girl power was big with actress Rosie Perez.

And then there was The Rock, who called Rousey his "partner in crime." She also happens to be his "Fast & Furious 7" co-star.
Congrats to my partner in crime @UFC Champ @RondaRousey for the tap out win. @MieshaTate an incredible warrior. Amazing fight! #UFC168
