Anderson “The Spider” Silva was slated to make his comeback to the octagon at “UFC 212” later on this year in front of his fellow countrymen in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Silva was scheduled to collide with Kelvin Gastelum, but Gastelum was forced off the card when he tested positive for marijuana metabolites.
When Silva was called on stage to square off with his opponent who has yet to be decided, he stepped up alone and squared off with an invisible man. Who will fill that void? Silva has expressed no interest in squaring off with the likes of Vitor Belfort and Luke Rockhold, but Nick Diaz does interest him:
How would that staredown have gone if Diaz was on stage across from Silva? The first time these two threw down it was a razor close decision that saw Silva get his hand raised. However, the fight would ultimately get ruled a no contest when it was revealed that both men had failed their drug tests!
Silva tested positive for performance enhancing drugs while Diaz simply tested positive for marijuana metabolites. If these two were to throw down, how do you think it would end this time around at “UFC 212”? Make your predictions and share your thoughts on how it would all go down in the comment section below!
