UFC 183: Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz video highlights

“The Spider” returned last night in Las Vegas, and the outcome was, well, it was interesting. His opponent, Nick Diaz, became only the third man (joining Demain Maia and Thales Leties, who also was victorious last night in Vegas) to take Silva to the distance.

All respect went straight out the window early on as Diaz would taunt his opponent, often. Diaz would take the center of the octagon straight away but it was Silva who would ultimately get the better of his opponent in the striking game; the whole fight was contested on the toes. However, It wasn’t a dominant performance for Silva by any means as the judges scorecards would suggest.

Here are some highlights from last night’s main event.

Final Result: Anderson Silva (34-6 MMA, 17-2 UFC) defeats Nick Diaz (26-10 MMA, 7-7 UFC) via UD (49-46, 50-45 x 2)
