I januari kommer Nick Diaz att möta Anderson ”The Spider” Silva under UFC 183.
Diaz skulle kunna göra matchen lätt för sig genom att försöka få in en träff på Silvas ben, då Silva tidigare skadade sig och bröt benet i en match mot Chris Weidman i slutet av 2013.
Diaz hävdar dock att han inte har några planer för att ge sig på Silvas svaga punkt.
Det här säger han om det, via ”MixedMartialArts”:
When someone tell you a fighter’s injured and they tell you to go after an injury, it really throws you off. It would be sad to lose a fight on account of, you’re trying to concentrate on capitalizing on someone’s weakness when it comes to injury and something like that, [rather than fighting] your fight without worrying about something like that.
I fought someone a long time ago. Someone came up to me and told me that his knee was hurt, and he said to me, attack his knee, I’m like, ’Yeah right, I’m not going out to attack this guy’s knee.’ It just doesn’t … it’s not realistic to go after his injury, unless they got a cut the same week, then it’s like, yeah, hit him in the eye, because the s— is going to re-open and now you wouldn’t fight on the cut. Maybe on a cut you want to take advantage of it, that makes sense.
Diaz och Silva möter varandra under UFC 183, som går på stapeln den 31 januari i Las Vegas.
