Anderson Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC) today said his leg is not fully back to normal, but it will be when he steps into the octagon for his first fight since a gruesome break this past December. “I’ve been doing a lot of physical therapy, and right now, it’s at 95 percent and improving,” the ex-middleweight champ said via his translator and co-manager, Jorge Guimaraes, during a teleconference in support of his headliner opposite Nick Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC)at UFC 183, which takes place Jan. 31 in Las Vegas. “On the day of the fight, it’s going to be 100 percent,” Silva added. Six months after breaking his tibia in a UFC 168 title rematch against current champ Chris Weidman, Silva, 39, was cleared in May by doctors to resume training. A titanium rod affixed to his broken limb to aid its healing remains in place
