Silva vs Diaz

How did the UFC 183's main event look like? Let's check what Anderson and Nick brought to the table . :)

First round started with Diaz trying to make a good show. He was clowning rather than fighting. A lot of trash talk by Nick. We saw also few leg kicks by both sides and some punches especially from Anderson. Nick laid down once to entertain people, after that he went back to cage waiting for Brazilian. John Mccarthy warned fighters that they need to to be more active. Then they started to throw more punches and kicks. Most of them landed on Nick's face especially at the end of the round. Five minutes ran out and the referee separeted two middleweights. Anderson tried to say something to Nick by American didn't care and went to corner.

Second round also starterd with a lot of leg kicks. It seemed that Anderson isn't scared to use that weapon, although his last injury came from using it. American used a lot of kicks too. In the second half of round they started to mix up their strikes making combiantions. It looked really nice. Both sides absorbed some punches to the head. After the referee split two man, both of them tried to talk to each other.

After two rounds we arrived the middle of the fight. In this round we saw the most strikes so far in the fight. We saw also that Nick is kicking Silva's legs a lot. However I didn't see blocking of that kicks at all. There was also the sitiuation as in the first two rounds. Most of the strikes landed in the second half of the round. It seemed Silva and Diaz needs these two minutes after break to warm up. There was some blood around the left eye of Diaz caused by Anderson's preciosion striking.

Now we came to the championship rounds. Fourth round didn't deliver much action.I think that fighters were trying to catch some breath before the final round. Again some leg kicks landed by Diaz. Anderson was rather changing levels than striking to one place like Diaz.

Fifth and final round finally started. Nick had only five minutes to win this fight by knockout or submission. It looked like Anderson is leading the score cards. In last five minutes we saw very good striking as in the round three. They both opened up and many blows landed. We saw also a lot of blood and bruising on the Nick's eye which started two rounds earlier. They went to distance. After the fight Anderson and Nick started to celebrate while waiting for the official decision.

Anderson won the fight by unanimous decision. The scores were 2 x 50-45 and 49-46. It showed that Anderson is healthy, Nick still can fight but nothing more. There weren't so many strikes, and any takedowns. Chris Weidman said that Anderson should retire after this fight. We'll see what happens next. The decision belongs to Dana and Anderson. Thanks for reading. See you soon. :)
