Anderson Silva is back in the UFC. One year and one month after the serious fracture he suffered in his leg, in front of Chris Weidman, the former middleweight champion will return to action in style, taking part in the main fight of UFC 183, which will be held in the city of Las Vegas, in the United States.

Your opponent will be Nick Diaz, who will also return to the octagon after a long period away. Although the American is normally a welterweight, the fight will be held in the middleweight division, the same one in which Anderson was champion for a long time.
And “Spider” will not be the only Brazilian present in the attraction. On the contrary: UFC 183 will feature a large number of athletes from the country. In addition to the former champion, eight other fighters from Brazil will be present at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with emphasis on former challengers Thales leites e Thiago Pitbull, John Lineker and Diego Brandao.
As usual, athletes must undergo the official weigh-in for the event, which will take place this Friday (30), starting at 22 pm Brasília time. You can watch everything Live No. SUPER FIGHTS by the player below:
