Nick Diaz

Nick Diaz is Stockton’s finest export: a Cesar Gracie black belt who would rather slap-box you into a brawl, flip you off mid-round and pepper you with volume punches until you broke. He knocked out Robbie Lawler at UFC 47, held the WEC, IFC and Strikeforce welterweight titles, and made three defences in Strikeforce before returning to the UFC to batter BJ Penn in 2011.

His interim title fight with Carlos Condit, the decision loss to Georges St-Pierre, the marijuana suspensions and his scrap with Anderson Silva all kept him in headlines, and he was still fighting Lawler again in 2021. With well over 100 articles, Diaz is one of CagePotato’s most-covered fighters, from the press conferences he skipped to the ones he turned into chaos.
