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.

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.
