Video: UFC's Nick Diaz on ending retirement, Robbie Lawler, Anderson Silva

There was something of a collective sigh of relief when Nick Diaz emerged from retirement earlier this month.

Well, if nothing else, the sigh was over an end to the speculation about whether Diaz would or wouldn’t return to the UFC.

With a new deal in place, Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) is indeed back, though we’re not sure just yet who it will be against, or when.

But in a new interview with UFC.com, the former Strikeforce champ talks about staying busy during his hiatus, why Robbie Lawler would make a good opponent for him, and why former middleweight champ Anderson Silva would, too.

Check out the video interview above.
