ive been saying for a while now that I think thats the matchup theyll end up making when silva returns. Im pretty sure diaz would take the fight since he wanted to fight him before.
I think the odds will be pretty even honestly. Nick is in his prime while silva is out of his prime and is coming back from a serious injury.
Natural Light Heavyweight vs. Natural Welterweight.
Seems like a fun matchup, but the weight issue may play a big factor.
Bisping/Anderson kind of has to happen at some point
But Nick/Anderson would just be too absurd to not book. It's like a freakshow fight that would be competitive and actually make sense
Diaz is perfect for this. He won't utilize cheap tactics to try to take advantage of Anderson's questionable leg. I could see someone like bisping constantly leg kicking the bad leg. Diaz will stand and trade with mostly punches.
Everyone wins if this fight is put together.
Give Nick a huge payday.
Give Silva a tune up fight that will let him shake off some rust and against someone who won't knock his head off with out shot.
Give the fans a super fight.
Now remember this is Ed Soares talking and they like to play with the media to help their negotiations.
Manager: Anderson Silva
