The way long-time trainer of Diaz, Cesar Gracie, sees it, 209's finest will survive in the aftermath of the five-year suspension handed down to him from Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
The enigmatic force in mixed martial arts (MMA) -- and currently suspended Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight -- has faced the music more often than not at the hands of Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) -- so much that his peers have started a "Free Nick Diaz" campaign.
But now, according to his long-time coach, Cesar Gracie, the Stockton slugger will look to ply his trade elsewhere, following NSAC's five-year suspension handed down to him for his drug test blunder at UFC 183 back in January.
