According to ESPN.

He can't fight in the states without violating his suspension for another year ... perhaps he'll fight for RIZIN in the meantime?

No one has mentioned Wand vs Manhoef?  

Shame on all of you.

There's no way Wanderlei vs Manhoef would last more than 45 seconds.

If Bellator were to blatantly disregard the NSAC suspension what fallout will come from it?  If he fights at Rizin, which is Bellator, will they be able to ever get a license in Nevada with the commission knowing they blatantly disregard their rulings?

Will Wand ever be able to fight in states?

Should Wand even be fighting?

Bellator would be done in Nevada, if they sign a NSAC suspended fighter and have him fight overseas.

If Wand ever fights in the states again after his suspension, he'll first have to fight in Texas (they'll license anyone not suspended), then once licensed by one state he'll be able to get other states to follow.

I don't have any interest in watching Wand fighting anymore.

Does Bellator even have events in Vegas?
