Anderson "The Spider" Silva, does not rule out a third match with current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion, Chris Weidman.

Silva has already lost twice to Weidman. The first time, he was knocked out in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career due to his showboating. The second loss was more brutal, as Silva's leg was broken when Weidman blocked his leg kick with his shin.

He commented sometime after that when he recuperated and returned to the UFC, he would not fight for the title anymore, nor would he face Weidman again.

However, just four months after he made the statement, Silva changed his mind again. He said he wouldn't mind facing Weidman for a third time. He also said that he wouldn't mind fighting for the title again.

In a recent interview with Jorge Guimaraes on Passando a Guarda, Silva said that he had seven fights left on his UFC contract. If a title shot passed his way, he surely wouldn't pass it up.

Silva may get his title shot if he wins impressively over his upcoming opponent, Nick Diaz.

Diaz is a no-nonsense fighter who has a distinctive fighting style, utilizing the "Stockton Slap" boxing techniques. He is also known for his straightforward comments and trash talking.

Silva and Diaz are slated to face each other in the Octagon on January 31, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Spider said that he was really excited for his comeback fight. He adds that if Nick fights "a clean fight," - if he keeps the fight on the feet - without stalling, it will be a great fight.

"Nick has a great boxing and it's going to be a fantastic fight. Every UFC fan will like it," Silva said.
