*** Update 16:32 08/21/2016​A source close to the Diaz camp has informed us that as of midday today, Nick Diaz is still yet to pay off his $75,000 and thus is still prohibited from cornering his brother in the main event this evening.***Nick Diaz will have to dig deep into his pockets if he wants any chance of cornering his brother Nate Diaz at UFC 202 this evening.Bob Bennett, NSAC executive director, confirmed to FOX Sports earlier this week that Nick Diaz is still technically suspended as he has failed to fully pay the fine he received for his positive drug test for Marijuana after his last fight with Anderson Silva at UFC 183 last year.Speaking via e-mail, Bennett addressed the issue and made it perfectly clear why Nick was still banned."As of this date, Nick Diaz is not permitted to work the corner of his brother Nate because he is still suspended," Bennett said. "I contacted the UFC two-to-three weeks ago regarding Nevada Administrative Code 467 in an effort to clarify and confirm the conditions that would allow Nick to work Nate's corner."The Nevada State Athletic Commission made a concerted effort to keep everyone involved in the fight regarding our Codes as we thought Nate would request his brother to work his corner."Additionally, we provided them information as to who to contact at the Attorney General's Office in an effort for Nick to be in compliance with his written settlement/agreement. I was informed by the UFC they contacted Nick and/or his manager and advised them what our regulations require to accommodate the possible request."Diaz's eighteen-month suspension was thought to end on August 1, however, Bennett explained that Nick still needs to pay $75,000 of the original $100,000 fine handed to him by the commission."Although the term of Mr Diaz's suspension expired on August 1, 2016, he remains on suspension pursuant to term 1.03 of his Settlement Agreement because he has failed to either pay his fine in full (his balance is $75,000) or enter into an approved payment plan," Bennett said. "As such, the prohibitions of NAC 467.895 apply to Mr Diaz at this time."If Diaz has still not settled the $75,000 fine, he will be banned from the dressing room and not allowed in the first six rows surrounding the Octagon. The ban also prohibits Nick from communicating with Nate, his coaches or other corner men inside the arena or near the dressing room.FloCombat has reached out to Mr Bennett this morning for an update on the status of Nick Diaz's fine, however, as of time of print we are yet to hear any feedback.
