Next Monday is setting up to be a big day for the legislative side of Las Vegas. The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) announced Tuesday that disciplinary hearings for Nick Diaz, Rousimar Palhares, and Jake Shields are all scheduled to take place on Sept. 14 at the next meeting of the state's commissioners, starting at 9:00 a.m. PT/12:00 p.m. ET.
For Diaz (26-10, 1 NC), the hearing is one that's been months in the making. The 31-year-old former Strikeforce champion failed a fight night drug test on Jan. 31 at UFC 183 for marijuana metabolites.
