Wanderlei Silva's re-hearing again postponed by Nevada Athletic Commission

Wanderlei Silva's re-hearing with the Nevada Athletic Commission was again postponed on Monday, with the NAC electing to table the issue for a December meeting after Silva's lawyer Ross Goodman attempted to introduce a consent order -- a voluntary agreement between two parties without an admission of guilt -- he negotiated with Nevada deputy attorney general Chris Eccles.

Silva was not present at Monday's meeting. The commission ultimately postponed the discussion until December to allow ample time to review Silva's consent order.

The delay marked the latest development in a long-running story that first began in May 2014, when Silva fled from a random drug test in Nevada ahead of his UFC 175 scheduled bout against Chael Sonnen.
