As I was checking my twitter account, the above two, tweets appeared from UFC Bantamweight athlete Jessica Eye. It goes back to when Chris Cyborg said she was ‘dropping down from 145 lbs to 135 lbs’ this was for three times once to beat Ronda Rousey, second time to beat Ronda Rousey again and the third time to prove she is serious about the new weight division. Although ‘Cyborg’ gave a good speech, she has never [to date] delivered, hence Jessica Eye tweeting what she did.
It was the Superfight we was all waiting to watch, UFC 183 Diaz vs Silva and I must admit, watching the five round fight, go five rounds, was something spectacular, in a good way!
Nick Diaz played his part perfectly, with a game plan at times that was just so ‘Nick Diaz’. Unfortunately it was not to be his night as Anderson Silva took the Unanimous Decision by the Judges.
Here are all the results from UFC 183 :
Anderson Silva Def Nick Diaz via UD 49-46, 50-45, 50-45
UFC 183 takes place tonight, January 31st at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.
All 24 athletes stepped on the official scales to make sure they met their contracted weight agreements, 22 out of the 24 sailed through.
John Linekar missed his contracted weight by 4 lbs and co-main event athlete Kelvin Gastelum missed his contracted weight by 9 lbs which resulted in a brief hospitalization due to his weight cut before he stepped on the scales.
Here are the full weigh-in results:
