I had 49-47 for silva. First round was a draw, second round 10-9 diaz and the last 3 rounds 10-9 for Silva.
Diaz really impressed. Silva really disapointed me. Majority of his punches only hit Diaz's hands. Diaz defence was really brilliant.

Silva is pushing 40 and didn't fight for over a year. He came of two huge losses - the last one being a career-ending injury - after a long time of complete dominance.

He went up against an always dangerous and well-prepared Nick Diaz who trained with Artem Levin and Joe Schilling for this fight.

And yet, Silva defeated Diaz comfortably. I personally don't really get why some people are disappointed by Silva. It's only natural Silva was a bit gun-shy early on. Especially with Diaz trying to get into his head.

Personally I enjoyed the fight and liked Silva's emotional reaction when he was declared the winner. Also, Diaz acted pretty cool afterward which I liked.

I wonder what's next for both of them. I don't think Silva is ready for a third fight with Weidman.

Yeah, he didn't really look bad, but I didn't like that diaz was able to pressure so much silva. He was stalked too much in the ring by a way smaller opponent. But yeah, other than that he didn't look bad for a comeback fight. I also don't think he is ready for Chris.

My scorecard:

1. 10-10

2. 10-10

3. Silva 10-9

4. Diaz 10-9

5. Silva 10-9

49-48 for Anderson.

But who I am to score? Apparently, 10-10 rounds are a no-go. I mean, they are acutally legit and written down in the Unified Rules, but the judges don't feel like giving them, so... *sigh* I know it's getting old complaining about those judges.

Honestly, I wasn't really impressed by either guy that much, but I still enjoyed the whole thing. I wonder what's next for them...
