On this date in MMA history, a pair of legends finally met in the cage – and it wound up not even counting. Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva met former Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz in the UFC 183 main event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The fight was a crucial one for Silva, who was returning for the first time since his gruesome leg break against Chris Weidman at UFC 168 13 months prior. Diaz was back after signing a new contract with the UFC. Diaz trash-talked Silva quickly into the fight.
