PDF: Wanderlei Silva vs NSAC heads to supreme court

This will be good practice for Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), considering its likely to end up in front of a judicial review for its controversial Nick Diaz suspension, which took place earlier this week in Las Vegas (more on that debacle here).

When Wanderlei Silva said this was a "war" he wasn't kidding.

While the district court reversed his lifetime ban from mixed martial arts (MMA), it did not support the Brazilian's claims that he was not subject to NSAC jurisdiction, simply because he was unlicensed at the time he flunked his pre-fight drug test.
