Wanderlei Silva's re-hearing with the Nevada Athletic Commission postponed

Wanderlei Silva will get a second chance to plead his case in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission, it just won't happen this month. Silva's re-hearing was postponed Thursday at a commission meeting in Las Vegas, NV, as a clerical error led to Silva's lawyer Ross Goodman not receiving the necessary paperwork until the day prior.

Goodman also wished to cross-examine UFC executive Kirk Hendrick, who was not present at the meeting. Silva was not present, as well.

Silva, 38, fled from a random drug test in Nevada ahead of his UFC 175 scheduled bout against Chael Sonnen in May 2014.
