Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight Nick Diaz and his legal team are gearing up for a hearing in front of Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) to answer for a failed drug test (marijuana), following his unanimous decision loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 183 back in January.
A hearing that could happen as early as August or September of this year, after it was initially postponed to afford the defense further preparation time.
According to a report from MMA Fighting, Nick's attorney, Lucas Middlebrook, was in the middle of discussions with Nevada deputy attorney general Christopher Eccles over a month ago about a possible settlement in the case.
