UFC superstar Nick Diaz to serve the Jon Jones rehab stint of jail sentences after DUI charge

Nick Diaz is heading to the slammer... for a short while, anyway.

The former UFC welterweight contender was handed a two-day jail sentence for multiple DUI charges, according to TMZ. The two separate incidents of driving under the influence happened in 2013 and 2014 respectively, but the cases were only settled in court recently. Diaz's attorneys struck a deal that reduced the charges to a plea of no contest to a DUI testing at .08 or higher in exchange for three other charges being dropped. He was sentenced to two days in jail, with credit being given for one day he already served. The fighter will now serve a day in jail and is expected to surrender to authorities later this month following his next hearing to serve his time. As for his career inside the Octagon, Diaz is still awaiting to hear from the Nevada State Athletic Commission about his fate. Diaz is set to appear in front of the NSAC to come to a resolution after he tested positive for marijuana following his superfight with Anderson Silva in January. Hat-tip to Fox Sports
