A request to drop UFC fighter Nick Diaz’s suspension was denied today in a Nevada district court, which clears the way for a hearing on the disciplinary complaint filed against him in February.
Judge Rob Bare ruled that while the NSAC technically violated state statutes by not conducting the hearing within 45 days of Diaz’s initial suspension, the fighter needs to appear before the commission before a judge intervenes.
The NSAC now will hear Diaz’s case on May 21.
