Nevada commission clears UFC light heavyweight Steve Cantwell to fight again

Steve Cantwell is back in business.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday issued Cantwell a new fight license almost six months after commission officials denied him a spot on the injury-plagued UFC 108 fight card.

Cantwell was four days away from a fight with Vladimir Matyushenko on the Jan. 2 fight card when the NSAC took issue with his medical paperwork and declined to issue him a license.
