Anderson 'Spider' Silva makes his long anticipated return to the Octagon in a little less than two weeks. The former world champ will face off against Nick Diaz, in the headlining fight of Las Vegas' UFC 183 on January 31.

The Brazilian middleweight is filming a series of vignettes, entitled "Spider Life Show," which follow the fighter as he trains and prepares for the upcoming bout. In the most recent episode, Silva indicates that he may be beginning to feel some pain in his surgically-repaired leg.

Silva famously shattered his leg kicking Chris Weidman's shin during a December 2013 fight, but all indications are that the leg is back to full strength. Silva's opponent, Nick Diaz, has publicly said he's not going to target Spider's leg during the fight.

"When someone tells you a fighter's injured and they tell you to go after an injury, it really throws you off," Diaz told Yahoo Sports in December. "It would be sad to lose a fight on account of, you're trying to concentrate on capitalizing on someone's weakness when it comes to injury and something like that, [rather than fighting] your fight without worrying about something like that."
