UFC 137 – Cesar Gracie accuses Georges St. Pierre of “ultimate stalling” not ultimate fighting

Cesar Gracie, the long-term trainer of UFC welterweight number one contender Nick Diaz, has accused the Stockton natives next opponent and current title holder at 170 pounds, Georges St. Pierre, of becoming the “ultimate staller” in the sport of mixed martial arts, a road he would never encourage his fighters to go down.
Speaking via FullContactFighter.com, Gracie said:

“The thing is, it’s really not my business how he fights. He’s not on my team, so, I truly don’t care how he fights. Now if you’re asking me as a fan, yeah, that style is not what I like to watch. I like to watch guys that just go completely for it, take chances and give crowds what they want, which is ‘ultimate fighting,’ not ‘ultimate stalling’ or anything like that.”

“I think he’s going to approach this fight somewhat like the BJ Penn (rematch at UFC 94). I think he’ll try to fight Nick the same way where he’ll tie up with him, try to keep him up against the cage, do a little dirty boxing and try to get him arm weary, maybe get some takedowns and see how that goes. He’ll probably be cautious from the top position but try to inflict damage depending on how it’s going.”

Diaz has thrilled the fans of Strikeforce recently with his all action style, defeating lesser opposition on the whole in impressive fashion. He was last seen in action in April defeating Paul “Semtex” Daley via first round TKO.
