Under söndagsmorgonen svensk tid ägde till slut den efterlängtade matchen mellan Anderson Silva och Nick Diaz på MGM Grand i Las Vegas. Det blev en femronders match där den forne mellanviktsmästaren till slut kunde titulera sig som vinnare på enhälligt domslut. Efter matchen berättade Nick att han inte kunde fightas 100% då hans vänstra arm har varit skadad under de senaste veckorna.
I couldn’t really throw any punches until the fight, because I thought if it was gonna tear something or pull something, I would just get through it in the fight. I didn’t want to do it before the fight and have it swell up on me and go out there with nothing. Some tendons caught up and I can’t straighten it.
It was actually locking up on me and I couldn’t punch with it. But I came out to fight and it wasn’t an issue. But I was worried it was going to be, because every time I’d throw a punch in the last couple days it would lock up, it would stick.
Vad exakt det är för typ av skada är ännu oklart, men enligt Nick så har läkaren rekommenderat operation något Nick inte alls gillar.
He said we can go in there and have surgery and take something out of there. Something like that. But I haven’t really looked into it too much, I’m not really into having surgeries. I don’t know. We’ll have to see about that. If I’m not punching anybody, why do I need surgery?
