Nate Diaz

Nate Diaz is the younger Stockton brother: a Cesar Gracie black belt who won The Ultimate Fighter 5 in 2007 and built a career on guillotines, volume boxing and middle fingers. He challenged Benson Henderson for the lightweight title in 2012 and racked up eight Fight of the Night awards against the likes of Clay Guida, Donald Cerrone and Michael Johnson.

Then came the short-notice call to replace Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196 in 2016, where he choked out Conor McGregor and became a superstar overnight. The McGregor rematch, the “BMF” fight with Jorge Masvidal and a boxing career followed after he left the UFC in 2022. CagePotato followed him from TUF to the Diaz-brand era.
