Nick Diaz and Nevada Athletic Commission Reach Agreement | MMAWeekly.com


Nick Diaz‘s trouble with the Nevada Athletic Commission have reportedly been resolved.

Diaz tested positive to marijuana in relation to his UFC 183 headlining bout with Anderson Silva in January of 2015. After narrowly averting a lifetime suspension and then having a five-year suspension reduced to 18 months, Diaz still had to pay a hefty fine.  He was originally fined $165,000.  That was later reduced to $100,000.  He finished serving his 18-month sentence on Aug. 1, but had an outstanding balance of $75,000 with the commission.

Under the suspension, Diaz was barred from competing in Nevada or corning fighters, including his brother Nate.  Diaz hasn’t fought since January 2015, but the door is now open for him to step back into the cage and also to serve as a cornerman.
