10 Reasons To Watch Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz At UFC 183
5. We've Missed Silva, Too
There was always something special about an Anderson Silva fight. They had that "must see" feel to them. You never knew what was going to happen. You were just waiting for him to do something crazy, something flashy. Think of the sick knee he delivered to the solar plexus of Stephen Bonnar in their 2012 fight (which is actually Silva's last win to date): you knew something big was going to happen; Bonnar was out of his league, but you were still stunned when it happened. That sort of excitement - the edge of your seat, can't wait to see what is coming next feeling - is something the UFC has lacked in Silva's absence.
