Judge to rule on Wanderlei Silva's lifetime MMA ban by May 11

If Judge Kerry Earley is as lenient as the one who gave Quinton Jackson his chance to return to the ranks of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), then Wanderlei Silva could be fighting in "Sin City" once again.

As early as May 11.

That's according to a report by MMA Junkie, which reveled that Silva's legal team went toe-to-toe with Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) in Clark County District Court on Wednesday (April 22, 2015), to see whether or not the commission had the right to administer an out-of-competition drug test prior to Silva's proposed fight against Chael Sonnen at UFC 175.
