Anderson Silva returns with decision win over Nick Diaz

LAS VEGAS – Anderson Silva fell to his back in tears only seconds after ring announcer Bruce Buffer read the scores that gave him a unanimous decision victory over Nick Diaz in the main event of UFC 183 at the MGM Grand Garden.

It was Silva's first fight in 13 months, as he returned from a gruesome broken leg at UFC 168 when he kicked Chris Weidman.

Saturday, judges had it 50-45, 49-46 and 50-45 for the former middleweight champion and widely acknowledged greatest fighter of all-time.
