VIDEO: The Baddest Taunt You Will Ever See- Nick Diaz vs Anderson Silva at UFC 183

Nick Diaz fought ‘The Spider’ Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in 2015, exactly 6 years ago in a middleweight bout. The two legends of the game shared the Octagon in a highly anticipated clash. The Brazilian was coming off a long injury layoff after his horrific leg break against Chris Weidman at UFC 168.

‘The Spider‘ eventually managed to win a decision after a 5-round classic. But, the NSAC overturned the result as Silva tested positive for banned drug abuse and Diaz broke marijuana rules.

For his role, Diaz received a five-year suspension. Although the punishment was reduced later, Diaz has never fought again since. However, he provided some golden moments that are still looked at fondly.

He taunted Silva like no one else before and at one point in time, he even lay on the floor of the Octagon to rile his opponent up. Diaz showed why he was such a fan favorite and an entertainer like no one else.

The bout itself was entertaining, as promised. Silva threw everything he had at the elder Diaz brother, but the Stockton native just walked through everything.

Despite that, he could not finish ‘The Spider’. However, unlike Silva, Diaz has not officially walked away from the game.

Will Nick Diaz ever return to fighting?

The former WEC and Strikeforce welterweight champion was a phenomenal fighter. Not only was he an entertainer, but his superior skills were also on display every time he competed. But, it’s highly unlikely one will ever see the legendary Stockton native fight again.

He barely trains anymore and lives a lavish lifestyle. There were rumors of him making a possible comeback to compete in 2021. But those possibilities seem far from reality under current circumstances. His brother Nate Diaz though is set for a UFC comeback as the younger sibling is planning to move down to lightweight.
