It appears former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s once-broken leg has healed just fine.
Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC), who returns from a year-plus injury layoff after snapping his leg in a rematch loss to champ Chris Weidman in late 2013, meets former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) in a middleweight bout at UFC 183.
Ahead of the pay-per-view headliner, which takes place Jan. 31 in Las Vegas, Silva has downplayed any lingering effects from both that gruesome injury, as well as a recent scare with a back injury.
Earlier today, he posted the following video as further proof his leg, which he broke throwing a low kick, has healed up just fine (via Facebook):
In fact, Silva was feeling well enough to take part in a recent sparring session with UFC light heavyweight champion and fellow MMA great Jon Jones following a media event in Las Vegas to unveil the 2015 event schedule.
