- After getting Nick Diaz suspended for five years and also charging a six-figure fine for failing his third drug test, Nevada Athletic Commission was put under the microscope since.
Following the suspension and much of the fan rage, it has been revealed that Nick Diaz's suspension term might get abbreviated. Nevada Athletic Commission and Diaz’s attorneys are presently talking about a settlement which can yield Diaz’s return to the UFC much before 2020 i.e. next year.
UFC's legal representation, Campbell & Williams were also a part of the settlement talks.

-Given the long rivalry between the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight titleholder Conor McGregor and Ex Team Alpha Male member TJ Dillashaw, it doesn’t come as a surprise that McGregor “giggles” on the possibilities of a super fight between the two.
"He's too small. It's that simple. Every shot would cripple him. It would break his whole, entire life, so I don't really think he's in the question. I giggle at his numbers; his numbers are really, really low. Really poor. If I could make bantamweight and take that belt, then it would be reason. But, I'd prefer the lightweight belt," said ‘Notorious’.
Where Notorious is just 2 inches taller than “The Viper”, what rules against this impossibility is “if” he could make it to the bantamweight. Dropping down from Featherweight to directly Bantamweight is no child’s play. While that’s not possible, if at all in the wildest dream if he does drop down to 135 pounds, TJ Dillashaw might beat him up.
Nevertheless, both have bigger challenges ahead as Dillashaw is set to make his third title defense against former bantamweight belt holder- Dominick Cruz in a UFC Fight Night 81 headliner in January, while McGregor will look to stand on his words and defend his belt from Jose Aldo in the much publicised and awaited UFC 194 pay-per-view (PPV) in December.
