Cesar Gracie

[SBC]

I remember a few years ago when Nick was fighting GSP Cesar was one of the most hated trainers in the game. He had been on record saying that Greg Jackson wasn't a "Real" coach and people lost their minds. Seriously though, I think the Cesar hate has always been unwarranted. He's built fighters from the ground up. The fighters that associated with him have NEVER had another coach. They've been raised under his tutelage for their whole careers. He has taught really good fundamentals and they've blossomed and gone on to do great things. Nick, Nate, Gil, and Shields have been kicking ass and taking names for a very long time. I really can't think of too many other coaches that have been with their fighters from day one. It seems that most fighters get noticed under one trainer and than move to a bigger camp to become the finished product. Not that there's anything wrong with that I just find it interesting.

I also love hearing Cesar talk. He always says something interesting. I hope we get a couple of interviews with him in this whole Diaz-McGregor aftermath.

Ceaser actually built a pretty legit camp but some of it had to do with being lucky with finding guys like the Diaz bros to help him build what he has. I have to say guys who train BJJ under him are really top notch so obviously he is doing something right with those guys.....Nate was a brown belt forever tapping everyone out in the UFC, by the time he was black belt he had some of the best grappling in the game
