Well, the Ufc has finally done it: it has announced the return of Anderson Silva, in a fight that actually more or less qualifies as a super fight, to be held at Ufc 183 on January 31st, 2015. There, he will meet the ever controversial Nick Diaz in a fight that promises to be an explosive clash of striking styles, given that neither man is known for wrestling opponents.
As a result, it’s the volume punching of Diaz against the accuracy and agility of Silva in what will no doubt be one of, if not the, most anticipated bouts of the next half year or so.
Make no mistake: Diaz is a dangerous return fight for Silva, despite the Stockton fighter going up in weight to meet The Spider. You can rest assured that Silva won’t be clowning against Diaz, who will actually be one of the better names Silva...

“If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.” – Sun Tzu
He’s considered by every Mma outlet, website, and expert to be the greatest fighter of all time. The numbers are astounding: 33-6-0, 20 Knockouts, 6 Submissions, and 7 Decisions.

His knockouts occur in the blink of an eye, his Jiu-Jitsu is like entering a tangled web, and his movement is like water. He’s considered the closest thing to Bruce Lee in competition. He’s a ghost, a ninja, and a soon-to-be legend of the Mma world.
He’s Anderson “The Spider” Silva and he was coming off the first Knockout loss of his career as he headed into Ufc 168.
