While it hasn’t been officially made, the upcoming title bout between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz at UFC 137 is generating a lot of discussion and interest from observers and fans within the mixed martial arts community; Cesar Gracie in particular.
The renowned coach, and head trainer of Nick Diaz, sat down with MiddleEasy.com, courtesy of LowKick.com, and gave his thoughts on the bout involving the two welterweights.
“Everbody that Strikeforce brought in, like the Paul Daley’s of the world and these really tough guys, Nick (Diaz) beat convincingly,” Gracie said.
Gracie added that Diaz is a recognizable name, who fans can identify easily, and understands how beneficial it is for the Strikeforce welterweight champion to transition into the UFC in order to compete against the the top 170 lb fighters.
Gracie spoke highly of Diaz, mentioning that all of his fights are never boring. It is why fans have requested to see the Stockton, Calif. native challenge St-Pierre.
“The fans kind of demanded it,” he said.
“They want to see Nick (Diaz) versus the guys in the UFC; maybe Nick versus whoever, because there is never an unexciting, boring Nick (Diaz) fight.”
Gracie also explained the situation regarding Diaz’s teammate and Strikeforce lightweight champion, Gilbert Melendez, and his wishes to fight in the UFC, as well.

Greg Jackson Talks Strategy and Upcoming Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz Bout
Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
Georges St-Pierre’s next opponent may very well pose as a potential threat to his title, as the champion will look defend his UFC welterweight title against challenger, Nick Diaz, at UFC 137.
St-Pierre, who will be making his seventh title defense against Diaz, is well-aware of what his opponent brings to the Octagon, and so does his coach, Greg Jackson.
In an interview conducted by LowKick.com, Jackson commented on the abilities of Diaz and he believes the Strikeforce welterweight champion will provide a challenge for St-Pierre.
“Nick Diaz is an incredibly tough fighter,” Jackson said.
“It’s gonna be a real challenge for Georges (St-Pierre) to be able to overcome all the tools that Nick Diaz brings.”
Since being cut by the UFC in 2006, Diaz competed in multiple organizations before being acquired by Strikeforce in 2009, that has seen him go on a 10-fight win streak, along with capturing the organization’s welterweight crown. Diaz has been outspoken in the past, considering himself as the top welterweight in the world, while calling out the Saint-Isidore, Que. native.

Nate Marquardt Would Go Back to Middleweight to Fight Michael Bisping
Bleacher Report’s Jeffrey McKinney:
Although Nate Marquardt may make his move to 170 a permanent one, a fight with Michael Bisping could make him move back to middleweight.
Marquardt told MMA Junkie Radio that although he felt he could be champion at middleweight, his natural weight is 170 lbs.
“I feel like I could hold the title at 185 lbs, but for me, it’s more of a natural weight to fight at 170,” Marquardt said. “If I ever did go back to 185, I wouldn’t put on extra weight on purpose. I have more energy for practices. I just feel better.”
Bisping was called out by many fighters including Marquardt, after his fight with Jorge Rivera.

Georges St-Pierre’s next opponent may very well pose as a potential threat to his title, as the champion will look defend his UFC welterweight title against challenger, Nick Diaz, at UFC 137.
St-Pierre, who will be making his seventh title defense against Diaz, is well-aware of what his opponent brings to the Octagon, and so does his coach, Greg Jackson.
In an interview conducted by LowKick.com, Jackson commented on the abilities of Diaz and he believes the Strikeforce welterweight champion will provide a challenge for St-Pierre.

Since being cut by the UFC in 2006, Diaz competed in multiple organizations before being acquired by Strikeforce in 2009, that has seen him go on a 10-fight win streak, along with capturing the organization’s welterweight crown. Diaz has been outspoken in the past, considering himself as the top welterweight in the world, while calling out the Saint-Isidore, Que. native.
Following St-Pierre’s most recent title defense against Diaz’s training partner and friend, Jake Shields, at UFC 129, Shields requested that Diaz become the next opponent to face the champion.
However, St-Pierre is one of the most methodical and technical fighters to enter the Octagon, and with Jackson by his side, his camp will certainly formulate a game plan to breakdown his opponent.
Jackson said Diaz will be a formidable opponent, but he assures St-Pierre will be well-prepared to defend his title on Oct. 29.
“He’s got a great chin, a frenetic pace, just keeps going, a very good ground game so we’re going to have to really do our homework to win that one,” he said.
