Nick Diaz could be eligible to return to the Octagon as soon as 2016 if all goes well with the Nevada Athletic Commission.
According to multiple outlets, the popular UFC star and his counsel are in the process of negotiating a settlement with the NAC that could allow Diaz to fight again sometime next year. Legal analyst Amy Dardashtian first brought word of a potential settlement via Twitter.
“Just spoke with my legal team at Campbell & Williams and talks with the [Nevada] Athletic Commission are going well,” Diaz wrote on Instagram.
