MANILA, Philippines – Nick Diaz’s head coach, Cesar Gracie, said his fighter didn’t get a fair judging in his interim welterweight title clash against Carlos Condit in UFC 143.

Ringside judges saw it, 49-46, 49-46, 48-47, all in favor of Condit, who frustrated Diaz’s aggression with accurate counterstriking.

Gracie said he couldn’t understand how Diaz lost the scoring, especially in the first round.

"I thought, you'd have to be insane to think a guy chasing the other guy down, landing the significant punches, and running after a guy, trying to fight a guy who will not fight, that is scared to fight, and you lose? How do I tell my fighter what he should have done better? It takes two men to fight. If one guy doesn't fight, that should be a point deducted," he said in MMA Fighting.

UFC 143 took place last Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gracie believes the judges didn’t like Diaz’s bad boy personality.

"They’ve never liked Nick in Vegas. They've never voted for him in a decision. The only one was the BJ Penn fight, and he almost had to kill BJ to get that one,” he said.

“I don't think they like his attitude, a guy that's going to go out there and talk. I think they think he's disrespectful. They're going to find a reason to judge against him. I don't think he can get fair judging in that state at all," Gracie added.
