Yesterday, former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz announced that he was no longer retired, which surprised very few. Then, Diaz did surprise many as he called out the current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Diaz might be best-known for always coming to fight and even though it seems controversy always surrounds the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu fighter, there is no questioning that he is one of the most exciting fighters in MMA today.
As for Anderson Silva, what hasn’t he done? Coming off his second-round knockout of rival Chael Sonnen, it seems Silva isn’t interested in facing any of the current middleweight contenders.
So, with that, it sets up this so-called “super fight” perfectly. While there are a few obstacles Diaz and the UFC will have to overcome to create the fight, why not go ahead and look at the MMA head-to-toe breakdown between Diaz and Silva?
