UFC president Dana White has already stated that the new UFC 137 main event between BJ Penn and Nick Diaz will not be a five-round fight because "they haven't trained for five rounds."
However, Diaz's manager and trainer Cesar Gracie thinks otherwise.
"If they can't fight five rounds against each other, how are they going to fight five rounds against GSP?," Gracie said.
"Dana is good with it," he said. "We've agreed to it. If BJ agrees to it, we'll make it happen."
"These guys have to prove they are ready. These guys are fighters. BJ has always said he's a warrior. ... The old school days of MMA, back when it was NHB, they fought forever.
"Don't be scared, homie. Let's make it five rounds."
