Nate Diaz is arguably one of the best veteran fighters in UFC who has been fighting in the promotion since 2007. Diaz has been in some of the biggest fights in UFC history and throughout the years has fought everybody. Diaz is a fan favourite and has an immense popularity. The gangster persona and chill attitude in front of the camera made him one of the best superstars.

Diaz in his career never won a title and was never a champion but has the same respect as any other champion. Diaz has always been a controversial figure when it comes to his deals with UFC and the last fight of his contract was no different. In an interview with the media, UFC president Dana White opened up about how hard it is to deal with Diaz. He said :

“I care about Nate a lot. I like Nate, and Nate came in here, long before that fight was ever made, and we were talking about it being his last fight… You think about the wars that Nate Diaz has put on and the incredible fights and the big fights that he’s done with us, go do whatever you want to do, man. But getting a fight done with him isn’t as easy as seems.
