Cesar Gracie: Nick Diaz Shouldn’t Be Criticized for Willingness to Fight Anderson Silva

---

Cesar Gracie, on “Beatdown,” discussing Nick Diaz’s willingness to fight Anderson Silva:

“Look, Anderson Silva wants to fight GSP. GSP’s not fighting him. If Anderson Silva really wants to drop down a weight, maybe fight at a catch weight or something, well, Nick is willing to step up and fight the guy. I don’t think that should be criticized. A fighter wanting to fight should never be criticized. People find a reason to criticize anything: ‘Who does Nick think he is?’ A fighter wanting to fight should not be criticized.”
