Coach Garcia accuses Cesar Gracie of blocking Diaz’s UFC 310 return

In a May 3, 2026 piece, recovery coach Jose Garcia alleged that Cesar Gracie is once again obstructing Nick Diaz’s planned comeback at UFC 310. Garcia claimed Gracie has interfered with Diaz’s preparation and decision‑making, suggesting this is part of a pattern dating back years. The accusations fuel an ongoing rift between the two camps over who has Diaz’s best interests at heart. Gracie later denied the claims, but Garcia’s comments have intensified scrutiny on the team dynamics surrounding Diaz’s potential UFC 310 appearance.
