by Steven Marrocco | source: mmajunkie.com

Thiago Silva's career is back online – at least in theory.

The UFC light heavyweight on Sunday served the final day of his license revocation from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Silva's name is no longer present on a commission registry that tracks fighters with administrative actions against them, and he is now free to reapply in Nevada or elsewhere.

However, Silva (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is required to appear before the commission should he reapply in Nevada, NSAC executive director Keith Kizer today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

"He would need to appear on an agenda for licensure," Kizer wrote via email.
