Anderson Silva comeback update shows "The Spider" in full-on training mode almost seven months after his vicious broken leg injury when he faced Chris Weidman at UFC 168 in December 2013.

Anderson Silva was once considered as the "Greatest Of All Time" during his seven year reign as the UFC's middleweight champion, as he barreled through top-tier opponents such as Vitor Belfort, Demian Maia, Chael Sonnen, and Rich Franklin, among others.

Current champion Chris Weidman dethroned him after two fights, both ending in stoppages before the third round. The broken leg injury that he suffered is considered as one of the most gruesome injuries in mixed martial arts.

After being sidelined for half a year, "The Spider" is looking ready to make a return.

Anderson Silva's comeback fight in the UFC is being scheduled against the infamous Nick Diaz. While no final deal has been made, both fighters have already expressed the intent to face each other.

As Anderson Silva prepares for his comeback, here is the latest video of him in training.
