NDA Athletic Restoration Coach Jose Garcia claims Cesar Gracie is trying to sabotage Nick Diaz’s coaching camp for UFC Abu Dhabi.
It was in a latest interview with Submission Radio, that Nick’s former coach weighed in on Diaz’s slated return towards Vicente Luque at UFC Abu Dhabi on August third.
“Nick is a troublesome man. But it surely simply doesn’t make that a lot sense to me the place Nick is at in his profession,” Cesar Gracie stated of the Nick Diaz vs. Vicente Luque struggle. “It’s not the struggle I’d have made, and don’t even know what’s happening with that struggle, to be trustworthy with you… It’s a toss-up what’s gonna occur. I don’t actually see him coaching with fighters. And I don’t know what’s happening with that struggle.”
Gracie continued:
“He’s simply not likely a part of the coaching with the blokes proper now. Like, usually proper now, he’d be coaching with Jake Shields. He’d be coaching together with his brother. He would have been sparring. Nick was not there final evening, for instance, for Nate’s struggle… No dangerous blood or something in any way. It’s simply I believe that the individuals which can be holding on to Nick proper now in Texas need to maintain on to Nick. And so, I hope they take excellent care of him.”
Cesar’s feedback clearly didn’t sit effectively with NDA Athletic Restoration Coach Jose Garcia / BBJ, who shared a a lot completely different opinion on the matter with BJPENN.com.
“Nick Diaz fired Cesar Gracie as coach and supervisor again in 2014 or 2015. He then employed Ballengee Group earlier than the (Anderson) Silva struggle. Nick after all went into nice element explaining why he break up from Cesar.”
In accordance with Garcia, ‘The Stockton Normal’ tried to rekindle their relationship and when he did, Gracie shortly pounced on the chance to take advantage of Nick.
“Nick rekindles his communication with Cesar simply to be on good phrases earlier than leaving for Florida to coach and isolate himself from the COVID restriction that was in California. He will get in superb form after which Cesar sees the chance to slip in and capitalize off of Nick’s final potential struggle vs Robbie. One other administration group had already secured the Robbie Lawlor struggle contract whereas Nick was in Florida. However Cesar then bought concerned and located a option to void Nick’s contract in order that he may get the contract made in his title. Cesar had nothing to do with getting this struggle made, Cesar was beneath the impression that Nick was nonetheless retired. As soon as he noticed that Nick was lively, Cesar manipulated his approach into Nick’s life in order that he may gain advantage from voiding the present contract in order that he may make his personal. Cesar’s complete motive was to be on the contract and receives a commission for Nick’s subsequent struggle.”
Jose Garcia then claimed that Cesar Gracie compelled Nick Diaz to proceed with the Robbie Lawler struggle regardless of being in dangerous form each bodily and mentally.
“Nick will get off form in California beneath Cesar’s watch and as a substitute of pulling him out of the struggle, Gracie forces Nick to maneuver ahead with it. Nick walked into that struggle in dangerous bodily and psychological form. So, Cesar makes his cash and guarantees to assist Nick together with his taxes however proceeds to be nonexistent to assist him. Nick principally remined in the very same IRS state of affairs that he was in going into that struggle.”

In accordance with Garcia, the exploitation techniques towards Nick Diaz are nonetheless occurring so far, this together with his scheduled Octagon return lower than a month away.
“Quick ahead to 2024 and Nick’s life is in shambles. His group helped get him out of Vegas and California, and he has as soon as once more moved, this time to Texas. Nick will get in nice form negotiates straight with Dana and Hunter by himself. He will get a struggle and now Cesar is again. On account of the truth that Cesar is scared to fly and has no management over Nick’s contract with the UFC he’s making an attempt to discourage Nick from preventing in Abu Dhabi which as soon as once more is inflicting Nick to be mentally confused as a substitute of specializing in his struggle. You bought one aspect telling Nick to concentrate on himself and practice and struggle to make his personal cash and get himself proper and you’ve got Cesar on the opposite aspect making an attempt to persuade Nick to cancel the struggle and take the struggle in America the place Cesar can have way more management of Nick. Ideally wherever in California or Vegas so he could make the drive since his fearful of flying. That is about controlling Nick as a way to get as a lot cash out of him as a result of he feels he’s owed that for the reason that sport has grown and the blokes earn more money now. Be aware this, Cesar doesn’t make 1 greenback off of Nate and hasn’t made cash with Nate for nearly 10 years now.”
