It's been a trying time these last 4 months as I have been faced with the prospect that one of our team's most talented fighters had decided to leave the sport. As a fan I've always admired what both of the Diaz's brought to the cage; a combination of technical brilliance and raw violence.

Nate Diaz has finally put his game together and found the formula to propel him to the top of the 155lbs division. To see Nick leave at the top of his game was difficult.

For the last couple of months I've watched Nick begin to frequent the gym more and more. He's training harder now than he has for many of his fights. It was obvious that training and fighting is in his DNA. It is who he is.
This week we had a great talk and he made it clear to me that he is ready to get back to the cage. Nick Diaz will return.

To address the NSAC suspension, I will say that we have appealed to the courts and if things go our way, it will be plausible that Nick could return as early as sometime at the end of this year.
For too long NSAC bureaucrats have acted with malicious incompetence towards the fighters. We will challenge them in court.

As far as future opponents, Nick has stated that he would like to take fights "that matter". Since GSP will be fighting Condit, he has to look elsewhere. He will respectfully ask for a fight with Anderson Silva, a fighter he respects and would like to challenge.

Silva's camp has been speaking of a fight with GSP, possibly even at a catch weight. Nick will take that fight in a minute but has told me that should Silva decide not to drop at all, he will move up to 185lbs to face the Champ.

I will be meeting with Dana next Monday August 6th to discuss this and other issues. If you appreciate Nick's fighting style, please let Dana know that you want Nick back ASAP.

Thank you and best regards,
Cesar Gracie

Why? Nate has absolutely no advantage in this one. Anderson is a better striker, bigger, stronger, no only thing they have even is BJJ.

I think you mean Nick?


I think Nick can definately stand and bang with the spider, look how he destroyed BJ Penn just with striking. With regards to size, IIRC, Nick walks around at the 180 mark and has fought at middleweight so I don't think Anderson's size will be an issue

Don't sleep on Nick....this dream match needs to happen

He fought at a catch weight of 180 against Frank Shamrock and Scott Smith both aren't on Silva's level. He's not gonna pick Anderson apart.

Nick bout to be like, "Where you at Anderson, where you at motherfukker" :pacspit: fukk yea, make this fight happen, there are no clear cut number 1 contender at 185 so fukk it, make it happen, I don't see anyone that don't wanna see this happen. Nick don't gotta worry about wrestling or none of those baby kicks, but he might lose a lot of brain cells, but make this shyt happen D-White
