Since UFC 183 “Embedded” was released on Tuesday, the story coming out of Las Vegas has been the absence of Nick Diaz.
The former Strikeforce champion missed his flight from Sacramento, Calif., to Las Vegas, the site of his long-awaited Octagon return. Considering Diaz’s renegade reputation, that alone was enough to spawn rumors that his bout against Anderson Silva might be in jeopardy.

It remains to be seen if this will result in any sort of punishment for the former welterweight competitor, but as long as Diaz makes his way to Nevada in time for weigh-ins on Friday, such wrongs can be fixed.
