Live NSAC updates: Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz, Hector Lombard drug test suspensions via UFC Fight Pass stream

Time to face the music. Well, sort of.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will stream today's (Tues., Feb. 17, 2015) Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) live meeting, which is expected to hold Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz, and Hector Lombard accountable for recent drug test failures (more on that here and here).

Not a UFC Fight Pass subscriber? Not a problem.

MMAmania.com will be tuning in and bringing you LIVE updates as the action unfolds right here, beginning at 4 p.m. ET. Silva, Diaz, and Lombard are No. 37-39 (out of 42) on the itemized agenda (full breakdown here), so it could take awhile before anything newsworthy breaks.

In addition, today's gathering is more of a fact-finding mission and will likely result in temporary suspensions from competition. The actual punishments will come at future disciplinary hearings, which may or may not be scheduled as part of today's meeting.
