This Saturday, the UFC 183 hits Las Vegas, Nevada with a card that features a main event of Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz. The co-main event features welterweights Tyrone Woodley and Kelvin Gastelum in a fight between two men close to cracking the top five in the weight class.
Silva is the all-time great returning after more than a year off recovering from a gruesome leg break that happened in his last outing against Chris Weidman near the end of 2013. Silva, always an eclectic figure, is reported to have signed a 15-fight deal to stay with the UFC, and now rather than stay in a “superfight” type role where matches with the likes of Dan Henderson, Georges St. Pierre and a long list of aging middle and light heavyweights to keep him busy would be the norm, Silva has announced his intent to go after the UFC middleweight championship that he held for so many years and still considers his.
Gastelum remains undefeated since he has come to the UFC through the vehicle of their reality TV show, and Woodley is a sharp test for the young up and comer.
