Nick Diaz's lawyer not overly confident about NAC hearing

Nick Diaz's lawyer, Lucas Middlebrook has doubts over reaching a settlement with the NAC.

Nick Diaz still awaits a conclusion for his failed drug tests at UFC 183. The Californian tested positive for marijuana metabolites after losing to Anderson Silva in January, which marked his third drug testing failure. Due to being a repeat offender, it's expected that Diaz will face a hefty suspension for his latest violation.

According to MMAFighting, Lucas Middlebrook -- Diaz's lawyer -- was optimistic about a settlement with the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) earlier in May, but recent revelations have been a cause for concern.
