The ‘Free Nick Diaz’ movement is still going strong. There’s currently a White House petition<\/a> up that’s on pace to reach the 100K signature goal in the very near future and fighters are still coming forward showing support Diaz.<\/p>\n

Recently, his coach Cesar Gracie told MMAJunkie<\/a> that while Diaz’s lawyers work on the appeal process the fighter will likely return to his Jiu-Jitsu roots.<\/p>\n

Gracie said:<\/p>\n

“He loves training jiu-jitsu. That\u2019s just where he came from, and he likes to train with the gi on. I see him getting back to his roots and having fun.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“One good thing is, a few weeks ago, he sent me pictures of him competing in triathlons, and he hadn\u2019t done that in a long time. That\u2019s the old Nick that I knew, the guy that used to do triathlons, do gi training, and I think that\u2019s where his roots are.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Gracie thinks the suspension will get overturned eventually, but if for some reason it stood as is, he believes Diaz would likely go back to competing in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments.<\/p>\n

What do you guys think will come of all this?<\/p>\n
