At UFC 183, MMA legend Anderson Silva returned to the Octagon 13 months after suffering a broken leg that seemingly could have ended his career.
While Silva appeared a bit more tentative than usual Saturday, he still was able to show some flashes of the brilliance that made him the best fighter in the history of the sport. In the end, The Spider did enough against Nick Diaz to earn a decision win, his first victory since October 2012.
Now 39 years old, it’s hard to guess how many bouts Silva has left in him. However, it does look like he can still hang with elite competitors and potentially make a run at another UFC title shot.
Here are the matchups that should now be made for Silva, Diaz and the rest of the UFC 183 combatants.
