It's been too long.
And what a wait it's been.
A gruesome broken leg prevented Anderson Silva from stepping inside of the cage for over a year. A loss of competitive spirit (or monetary incentive) prevented Nick Diaz from stepping inside of the cage for a little under two years.
Presumably in the red corner, there will be a man who's blazed a trail of historic proportions, destroying the Chael Sonnens, Vitor Belforts, Dan Hendersons, Rich Franklins and Forrest Griffins of the MMA landscape. The guy in the blue corner is no slouch either, building a pretty impressive resume of his own. Diaz has stockpiled wins over B.J. Penn, Frank Shamrock and Paul Daley. He's also the only guy who has knocked Robbie Lawler out inside of a cage.
Buckle yourself in as we break the UFC 183 main event down from head to toe.
