"I undressed my injury," Weidman said in a Wednesday update ... "The cut on the back of the calf is from when I stepped down in octagon, and bone went through calf muscle and skin."
Weidman was discharged from the hospital in Jacksonville earlier this week and is continuing his recovery at home in South Carolina, where remains in good spirits.
"I know there are many worried about me, including family friends and fans. I will be good. I love you all."
As we previously reported, 36-year-old Weidman suffered the injury while throwing a routine leg kick in the opening seconds of his Saturday night match against Uriah Hall.
Surgeons used a metal rod to stabilize the leg -- and Chris posted photos of the X-rays.

Despite the severity of the injury, Weidman hopes to make a full recovery in 6 to 12 months ... and vows to return to the Octagon and fight again.
