Mark the date.

The hearing into Jon Jones’ doping case, and the complaint against Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz for their press conference fracas, will be held on October 10 by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Jones failed a drug test before UFC 200, where he was scheduled to fight in the main event against Daniel Cormier. The American fighter tested positive for clomiphene and letrozol and faces a suspension and a fine.

McGregor and Diaz were involved in an incident before their bout at UFC 202 in August.

The two fighters threw water bottles and other objects at each other during a press conference.

According to MMA Fighting, McGregor and Diaz are likely facing fines and community service for their parts in the fracas.
