Anderson Silva's managers Ed Soares thinks that the fight between Nick Diaz and Silva is a fight that makes a lot of sense.

He said "They are two of the best boxers in MMA both want to fight Roy Jones Jr. both are coming off of two losses, both have been out of the ring for over a year so it's just a fight, you know, that makes sense."

Although both fighters have their way of talking barbs throughout their career, Soares believe would talk ill of Silva saying "I think he's prepared to deal with that, but I honestly believe that Nick Diaz is going to take a different approach. I don't think Nick Diaz has anything personal against Anderson Silva."

He added "I think Nick Diaz looks at Anderson Silva as a true, real, martial art challenge and he believes he's got what it takes to be able to fight him...Most of the time Nick Diaz doesn't start off with the trash talking. It's normally somebody else that starts off with the trash talking and he kinda finishes it off. But Nick Diaz overall, I don't see him much as a guy that starts off talking trash."

Both fighters are coming from an injury and both of them has never fought since then. Silva was away from the limelight for 13 months after his last fight caused him a horrific leg injury. On the other hand, it has been more than a year since Nick Diaz has fought inside the octagon. His last fight was with Georges St-Pierre which was a title fight in Montreal on March 16, 2013 where he lost via unanimous decision.

According to Silva "I never thought in my career that I would face Nick Diaz. He's a guy that I've watched all of his fights. He's got great jiu-jitsu, and this fight has all the ingredients to be one of the best fights of all time. This fight is going to be excellent for the fans. This is going to be excellent for myself, and for Nick Diaz as well. We both haven't stepped in the Octagon for quite a while."
