Nate Diaz is an American mixed martial artist and professional boxer, born on April 16, 1985, and raised in Stockton and Lodi, California, where he began training in martial arts at the age of 11 alongside his older brother Nick, also a professional fighter. He first competed mainly for World Extreme Cagefighting, where he fought for the lightweight title in 2006, and then won the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television tournament for lightweights, which brought him into the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He fought for the UFC for more than fifteen years, challenged for the lightweight championship in 2012, famously stepped in on short notice at welterweight to submit Conor McGregor in 2016, and holds one of the largest totals of bonus awards in UFC history. After leaving the promotion as a free agent in 2022 he turned to professional boxing, facing Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal.
