UFC 183 Weigh-in Results: Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz Cleared; Gastelum, Lineker Miss




Their places in MMA history secure, former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Anderson Silva and onetime Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz can go about the business of fighting one another.

Silva tipped the scales at 186 pounds ahead of his five-round clash with Diaz (185) in the UFC 183 main event on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Welterweight co-headliner Kelvin Gastelum missed weight by nine pounds (*180), while his opponent, Tyron Woodley, met his mandated weight requirement (170.5) without incident at Friday’s official weigh-in.
