  • UFC 183 Recap: Silva Victorious in Return Over Diaz
    UFC 183 Recap: Silva Victorious In Return Over Diaz Author : Robert D. Cobb UFC 183 took place this past Saturday night at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main event featured the returning legend Anderson Silva after a 13-month layoff from a gruesome broken leg injury he suffered at the hand of current Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman. Anderson Silva was triumphant in his return as he beat Nick Diaz in a five-round decision. The judges had it 49-46, 50–45, and 50–45. I had it scored 49–46, with the third round going to Diaz. It was a much slower fight than many had expected it to be, with both fighters lacking the explosiveness that made the both so dangerous coming into the fight. Silva seemed tentative mentally, and it is hard to blame him after how badly he was hurt in his last pro fight. This will be Diaz’s last main even fight for a while, if ever again. He shows no class and no respect for the sport. No matter how poorly he performs. Much like after this fight when he said he thought he did enough to win each round. This guy doesn’t have a clue, and has repeatedly said he only fight for money. The sport of MMA has come so far in the last 10 years and doesn’t need a clown like this to pull it back into the dark ages. The rest of the main card didn’t fail to bring the action and carry the Pay Per View, giving the fans their money’s worth despite the disappointing main event.
