Pic: Nick Diaz’ left eye is a mess after losing to Anderson Silva at UFC183

The great Brazilian came back with a win, and left his foe's eye in awful state

This is going to look bad for a while

The Spider returned to the Octagon last night at UFC 183 and he did so in some style, answering all the questions over his leg and his chin to see off Nick Diaz via an unanimous decision.

It was a real show by the Brazilian, who used every bit of his skill set to punish Diaz repeatedly, and his striking to the head of the American left Diaz with a messed up eye.

It was clear during the fight that it was a problem area (main pic) and in this picture from the post fight you can really see just how much damage Silva inflicted on his opponent.

However, it was in the post-fight press conference that you can really see just how big a black eye Diaz has. Yikes.
