Video: UFC® 183: Anderson Silva Open Workout

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva held an Open Workout ahead of his upcoming fight against Nick Diaz in the main event of UFC183.

A LEGEND RISES: A little over a year ago, UFC fans around the world thought they’d seen the last of the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. The image of Anderson Silva potentially suffering a career-ending injury in the middle of the Octagon was an unimaginable situation that was playing out in front of millions. For a man that holds numerous UFC records, including the most title defenses in organization history, it was not the proper end to his storied career. However, from day one Silva vowed he would return. Pushing aside all doubters along the way and overcoming seemingly surmountable odds on the way to recovery, Silva now makes his monumental return to the Octagon. With a win here, “The Spider” earns a UFC title shot with the chance to come full circle in his quest to reclaim glory.
