Nick Diaz Will Return to UFC, Calls for Anderson Silva

I suppose it's possible. That's the only way I could see this ending in the first or second round.
I think Silva could TKO him eventually, but it would take at least until the third round IMO.

It would be an interesting fight in any case. Its not like Nick is the most technical striker in the world, but he has a good chin and he goes right after you.

If Chael did nothing else he exposed the fact that Anderson is not as comfortable when opponents come right at him and keep coming forward.

That's a good point, Fist. I think if Diaz can get inside and stay out of the clinch it'll be much better for him. Meanwhile Silva should use his footwork and (probably significant) reach advantage to keep Diaz outside. Tit for tat only to set up the power shots, no kicks and goofy shit and he should win pretty easily.
